The Japanese Manuscript Counter plugin displays real time character counts and manuscript page equivalents optimized for Japanese writing. It shows counts in the status bar based on the 400 character manuscript paper standard (genkouyoushi). When you select text, the plugin updates to show counts for just that selection. You can also access detailed counting information through the command palette. The plugin accounts for Japanese specific formatting rules including line breaks, paragraphs and kinsoku shori (line-breaking restrictions). Full width characters count as one, half width as 0.5. Essential for Japanese writers who need accurate manuscript formatting.

The Japanese Novel Tool plugin supports Japanese novel writing with correct paragraph indentation across Reading view, Live Preview and Source mode. It renders ruby text and emphasis dots written in Kakuyomu, Aozora Bunko and Narou notation, with commands for inserting or removing that markup. Optional editor marks reveal full width spaces, tabs and line breaks. Character counts appear in the status bar and can also be shown beside headings for their sections. The counter can exclude whitespace, line breaks, ruby and emphasis control characters, callouts, Markdown comments, headings and Markdown control characters through configurable settings. Two commands copy the current heading section with or without its heading, including nested subsections, while files without headings can be copied in full.
