An article site where we introduce manga, anime, films, and other entertainment we'd love you to watch or read. From talked-about titles to hidden gems, we share what makes each work appealing from our own angle. All articles are free to read (to watch or read the works themselves, please use the relevant streaming services or bookstores).
Check out worksOur Media
passed.jp also runs media that support getting better at games and meeting new works.
🎥 passed games
a game video channel about getting better from passed.jp, delivering tips for getting better at popular games like Splatoon 2 and Fortnite in an easy-to-follow, calm commentary style. Rather than just playing, we hope the fun of getting better becomes a reason to enjoy time together with friends and family.
Visit the channel🔍 Uncut
Uncut is a discovery channel bringing overlooked Japanese games to the world: hidden Japanese games on Steam that get few reviews and are easily overlooked, carefully picked by taste and genre and introduced to players abroad. It's not a place where we make games ourselves, but a place to meet good works by others that haven't been found yet. We dig up genres for the discerning — deckbuilding roguelikes, turn-based tactics, logic puzzles — through a global lens.
Discover gamesWhat passed.jp Cares About
passed.jp aims to be a service portal where everyone can face passing and growing at their own pace. We value not only learning with a clear goal, like an entrance exam or a qualification, but also the small growth hidden inside play taken as a break.
Each service is designed to be free and registration-free. We value the feeling of "I just want to try it," and by lowering the bar at the entrance, we help more people meet learning and enjoyment.
Who We Made This For
People who want a break between work or study — refresh your head with games.passed.jp, playable right in your browser during a short break.
Junior high students, and Japanese adults who want to relearn junior-high English — practice the English grammar and vocabulary of junior high years 1–3, free and with no sign-up, at english.passed.jp, one question at a time.
People looking for what to read or watch next — the recommendations at pleasewatch.passed.jp might lead you to a great work you haven't met yet.
What's Next
passed.jp plans to keep adding services that support exams beyond English, qualification study, and picking up hobbies and skills. We'll keep delivering free web services that anyone can start lightly, all in line with the keywords of passing and growing.
