Gone are the days when creating manga required years of artistic training and hours hunched over a drawing tablet. Thanks to AI technology, anyone can now bring their creative visions to life in minutes. In this guide, we'll walk you through the simple process of creating your first manga page using AI tools.

What You'll Need

  • A clear story idea or concept
  • Access to an AI manga generator like Anifusion
  • Basic understanding of manga panel layouts
  • 5 minutes of your time

Step 1: Plan Your Page Layout (30 Seconds)

Before diving into creation, quickly sketch out your panel layout. Manga typically reads right to left, with panels flowing in that direction. For your first page, we recommend choosing a simple 4-panel layout.
