Two new characters this week. Or rather, we’ve met them before, but now they’re getting introduced: お腹ペコ(ペコ), and クリエイト.

Essentially.
I run everything I buy through Mokuro, which gives fairly reliable OCR. Then I have scripts that extract the lines of text from Mokuro into a single file (per volume).
Finally, my search script looks through all of those files for matches.
(I also branch off a process that runs everything through Ichiran to get individual words, which I add to my site Manga Kotoba to provide vocabulary frequency lists.)
