Sample manga page, read from the top right: a harbour town at dusk, a courier running across the rooftops after a runaway mechanical bird, and her leap. The five panels are drawn without any text; a caption, three speech balloons and a sound effect are set on MangaMade's separate lettering layer.

How it works

From a story to a finished chapter in five steps

You make the decisions at every step: MangaMade drafts, you edit, and nothing is drawn until you ask for it.

  1. Step 1

    Start with a story

    Pick a format, a style and the dialogue language, then paste an outline, a scene or prose. MangaMade plans it into pages and panels you can edit.

    Chapter 1 · Page 1

    Panel 1 · Wide shot. A harbour town at dusk, cranes against the sunset.

    COURIER: Hey! Come back with that!

  2. Step 2

    Build the cast

    Describe each character or upload your own reference art. A model sheet with a turnaround and expressions keeps them recognisable from panel to panel.

    Sample model sheet: the courier in four turnaround views and four expressions, with her mechanical bird.Sample art
  3. Step 3

    Generate the panels

    Every panel is drawn in the series style, with the characters' sheets as references. Regenerate any panel with a note and keep the version you like.

    Sample panel drawn without text: the courier runs across the tiled roofs of the harbour town.Sample art
  4. Step 4

    Letter the pages

    Balloons, captions and sound effects are placed from the script on their own layer. Move them, resize them, rewrite them: the art never changes.

Formats

Three ways to read, one studio

The format decides how pages flow. Choose it per series: page templates, balloon order and exports follow it.

  • Sample manga page in black and white, read right to left.

    Manga

    Right to left
    Reading order of a Manga page: Right to left.

    Pages read right to left, starting from the top right panel, in black and white or in colour.

  • Sample manhua page in full colour, read left to right: a lantern festival, a clockmaker's shop, a sealed parcel and the courier under the lanterns.

    Comic and manhua

    Left to right
    Reading order of a Comic and manhua page: Left to right.

    Pages read left to right, the way manhua and western comics are read.

  • Sample webtoon strip in colour: the courier wakes in her attic, climbs out of the window and runs across the rooftops.

Features

Built for chapters, not single pictures

An image model draws a picture. A chapter needs a cast that stays itself, pages that read in order and words you can change.

Sample series cover: a young explorer with a lantern and a fox at the door of a library hidden in a forest.

The Forest Library

Manga · Chapter 1

Sample cover. The art is drawn without text; the title is set by MangaMade.

  1. A model sheet for every character

    A turnaround and a set of expressions per character, used as a reference in every panel they appear in.

  2. Text-free panels, editable lettering

    Panels are drawn without any text. Dialogue, captions and sound effects sit on a vector layer above them, so a typo never costs a redraw.

  3. A chapter script you control

    Pages, panels, shots, dialogue and sound effects, planned from your story and editable line by line before anything is drawn.

  4. Editions in more than 30 languages

    Re-letter a chapter in another language from its script, right to left for Arabic and Urdu, without redrawing a single panel.

  5. Exports for print and screens

    PNG pages, PDF, CBZ for comic reader apps, or a vertical webtoon strip sliced for upload.

  6. Redo one panel, not the page

    Regenerate a single panel with a note, compare the versions and keep the one that fits the scene.

Developers

Bring MangaMade into your agents and pipelines

What you do in the editor, your code and your AI assistant can do too: create a series, plan a chapter, draw it and export it.

  1. A REST API

    JSON over HTTPS with a workspace key: series, cast, chapters, pages, generation, exports and credits, with the same rules as the app.

  2. An MCP server for AI assistants

    Connect Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client, then ask it to plan a chapter, estimate the cost and draw the pages.

  3. Included in every plan

    Hobby, Creator and Studio all include it, with fair per-minute limits starting at 60 requests a minute.

FAQ

Questions before your first chapter

Anything else, and the answer is one email away.

  • What does MangaMade make?

    Finished comic chapters from your story: manga pages that read right to left, comic and manhua pages that read left to right, or a vertical webtoon strip. You get the chapter script, a model sheet per character, the generated panels, lettered pages and the exports.

  • How do characters stay consistent from panel to panel?

    Each character gets a model sheet, with a turnaround and a set of expressions, and every panel they appear in is drawn with that sheet as a reference, together with the series' style reference. Image models can still drift: regenerate the panel with a note and keep the version that fits.

  • Why is there no text in the generated art?

    Image models still garble lettering and cannot fix it line by line. MangaMade draws every panel without text and sets the balloons, captions and sound effects itself, so you can edit any line, move any balloon and re-letter the chapter in another language.

  • Can I use characters from a series I love?

    No. MangaMade draws original characters only: names of existing characters, franchises and trademarks are refused, and so are real, identifiable people. Describe your own cast, or upload reference art you made or have the right to use.

  • Which languages can I letter in?

    More than 30 languages: about thirty written in the Latin alphabet, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Polish and Indonesian, plus Arabic and Urdu, set right to left, and Japanese, set horizontally. Chinese and Korean are not available yet. The comic's language is a series setting, independent of the language you use MangaMade in (English, French, Spanish or Arabic), and a chapter can be re-lettered in another language without redrawing.

  • Who owns what I make?

    You do, to the extent the law allows. MangaMade keeps a licence only to render, store and serve your pages for you. Copyright in AI-generated images is not settled everywhere, so your story, script, edits and lettering are the parts most clearly yours; the terms of service explain it plainly.

  • How do credits work?

    One credit is one generated image at 1K: a panel, or a regeneration of it. A 2K splash panel costs 2 credits, a character model sheet 2 credits and a style reference 1 credit. Planning, editing, lettering and exporting are free, and a panel that fails returns its credit.

  • What do I get for free?

    15 credits on sign-up, with no card required: enough for a model sheet, a style reference and two five-panel pages. They stay valid for 30 days after sign-up. Until you choose a paid plan, exports carry a small watermark.

  • Is there an API?

    Yes. Every plan includes a REST API and an MCP server, so your scripts and AI assistants can create series, plan and draw chapters and export them. Create a key in Settings; the developer docs list the limits and examples.
