My Jsho to Anki workflow broke — any tips for better word collecting?

I've been reading Yotsuba! and using resources like this to help with new vocab. Most of the time, when I find a word I don't know, I look it up in Jsho on my phone and send it straight to Anki to help with retention.

After a previous post about Anki and memorization, I realized I retain words waaay better when I first encounter them in the wild, look them up, and then add them to Anki.

Anyway, until recently my workflow was:

  1. Find unknown word
  2. Look it up with Jsho on my phone
  3. Use the "send to Anki" option

It used to work perfectly, but now when I send a word to Anki, the card shows up empty. I can't for the life of me figure out why it broke.

But since that I'm basically stuck. How do you guys collect new vocab when reading manga or books? I was wondering if there's a better and more optimize way to do that… Any apps, workflows, or tips you'd recommend? Would love to hear what’s working for you!
