Simply amazing. Very detailed information about kanji, both individual or as a whole word or sentence. It makes studying the language a lot easier!
Small suggestion, it would be nice to also have details about the romaji form, and it would also be nice to be able to press a button and save words for later.
Nevertheless, I am really happy with rikaikun. Thank you for developing.

Nice one.
One problem I have though is that it does not work on Microsoft news, would be great if it does.
Would recommend Rikaikun team to look into it.
