How to make your own manga, webtoon or anime with AI

Write your chapter, approve a consistent AI cast, create the shots, add performed voices and screen the finished video. Pay as you go, with every step priced before you press it.

Before you start

A chapter you wrote

Prose, a screenplay or even a rough summary. Up to 1,500 words at a time. It does not need to be polished, but it does need to be yours.

Some Ink

Originals is pay as you go. Buy an Ink pack and spend it step by step — every step quotes its price before you press it.

No drawing skill at all

Genuinely none. If you can describe a character in a sentence, you can direct one. That is the whole bar.

01. Write your script

Where: The Script step of a new Original. How long: As long as your writing takes. Cost: 20 Ink to read it.

Open a new Original, name it, pick a style, and paste your chapter into the Script step. Prose, a screenplay or a rough summary all work. Keep a chapter under 1,500 words; if it runs longer, split it in two and your cast carries across both.

Write the story, not the art. Describe what happens; the studio decides how to draw it.
You do not need to name every camera angle. The director stages the shots for you.
A longer, richer script gives the studio more to work with than a thin outline.

02. Meet and approve your cast

Where: The Cast step, after you hit Generate. How long: A minute or two per character. Cost: 18 Ink per character.

Hit Generate and the studio reads your script, builds the world, and casts every character with a designed reference look. Review them, fix anything in plain words, then approve. This is the one place you sign off, and nothing is drawn until you do.

If a character's look is off, describe the change in a sentence. The design redraws.
Approving locks the cast so every later shot matches. This is what keeps faces consistent.
Only tracked characters get a reference design; background extras are described in the shot.

03. Create your shots

Where: The Storyboard step. How long: Under a minute to plan, then seconds to a minute per shot. Cost: 50 Ink to storyboard, then the engine price plus 1 Ink per shot.

After approval the AI director storyboards the whole chapter, then you create the shots. Every frame is rendered against your approved cast, so it stays on model. Recreate or reword any shot until it feels right; you only pay for shots that succeed.

Pick your art engine per chapter. Faster engines cost less Ink; showcase engines cost more.
Not happy with a shot? Recreate just that one, it does not redo the whole chapter.
Re-planning re-runs the director for the whole chapter and costs the storyboard price again.

04. Give it a voice

Where: The Voice step. How long: A few seconds per line. Cost: 1 Ink per 500 characters.

How the chapter sounds follows the pace you chose: a narrated script is told by one narrator, like a storyteller; the full script is performed by your cast in their own voices. Every line is performed and timed to its moment.

A narrated script is one flowing voiceover, ideal for recap-style videos.
The full script gives each cast member their own voice, like a dubbed episode.
You can re-perform any line after a change.

05. Screen your chapter

Where: The Screen step. How long: A minute or two to encode. Cost: Free.

Watch your chapter as a finished video cut, picture and voice already in sync. Want to finish it your own way? Export an editor project with the stills, the audio and a pre-cut timeline for your editor. Both are free; they render in your browser.

The video cut is a great share-ready draft.
The editor project drops straight into Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
Add your own titles, music and effects before you publish.

If something goes wrong

A character does not look how I imagined

Fix it at the cast step, before you approve. Describe the change in plain words and the design is drawn again. This is the cheapest possible moment to change a face: once you approve, every shot is rendered against that design, so fixing it later means re-rolling the shots too.

One shot came out wrong

Recreate just that shot. It does not touch the rest of the chapter, and it costs the engine price once more. If the framing itself is wrong rather than the drawing, reword the shot and it will be staged again.

A render failed or timed out

You are not charged. Ink is taken when a step starts and returned automatically if it fails, so an error, a timeout or an empty result costs you nothing. Just run it again.

My chapter is too long to generate

Split it. Chapters cap at 1,500 words because planning cost scales with length and a longer chapter genuinely reads better in two parts. Your cast carries across both halves, so the second one costs less.

The whole storyboard is not what I wanted

Re-plan, which re-runs the staging pass over the chapter and costs the storyboard price again. If you would rather not hand that decision over at all, use Director Mode: you group the lines into images yourself and there is no storyboard fee.

Characters drift between chapters

They should not. Later chapters roll your existing cast forward rather than casting again, which is both cheaper and the reason your protagonist in chapter twelve matches chapter one. If a character does drift, check they are still tracked in the cast rather than newly introduced.

Questions, answered

How much does a full chapter cost?

Every step is priced on the pricing page and on its own button, so you always know the cost before you press it, and you only spend Ink on work that succeeds. Later chapters reuse the cast you already designed.

Do I need any art skill?

None. You write; the studio draws. If you can describe a character in a sentence, you can direct one.

How do characters stay the same across chapters?

You approve a reference design for each main character, and every shot is rendered against it. New chapters reuse the same cast, so your hero looks the same in chapter one and chapter ten.

Can I make manga, manhwa and anime?

Yes. You pick the style per project. The whole pipeline follows it, from the character designs to the finished cut.
