What happened
Frankel launched Tokemana on November 13, 2026, a browser-based service with 660 problem sets across 132 units and five subjects for junior high grades 1–3. Answers are scored instantly, and AI marks written answers on paid plans.
Why it matters
The service lets students work through solve–check–retry cycles alone, while parents can review study records and monthly reports, according to Frankel.
What to watch
A free plan is available now, with paid plans starting at ¥550 per month (tax included).
WHO IT HITSParents of junior high students who want to oversee test preparation can monitor progress through a parent page without grading answers themselves, while students gain instant feedback on written responses via AI.

Frankel, a company founded in September 2023, already runs a cheerleading school, an education media outlet, and a parent-facing service called Mirai Sekkei AI. Tokemana extends that portfolio into home test preparation, where the company says families often juggle multiple workbooks and self-grading, which can push review to the back burner.
The service is designed so a student can complete the solve–check–retry loop alone, with parents able to check records and receive monthly reports. To keep questions accurate, Frankel says it uses AI to generate content and then has a separate AI solve each problem without seeing the answer, fixing any mismatches before publication. Math and science calculations are also verified by program, and written-response items are tested through the AI grader before release.
Pricing ranges from a free tier with limited daily sets and no AI marking to a premium plan at ¥3,960 per month that adds unlimited daily sets, more AI grading, and parent reports. This tiered structure may position Tokemana between free study apps and paid tutoring services for families seeking structured test prep, though the company does not provide usage or revenue figures.
