What makes good AI manga
Good manga pages follow a few conventions: black ink on white, screen tone for depth, expressive faces, and panel shapes that guide the eye through the story. Each genre pushes these in its own direction. Shonen uses speed lines and dramatic close-ups. Shojo uses soft lines and big emotional panels. Seinen uses more realistic anatomy and detailed backgrounds. Horror uses heavy shadow and empty space.
Panel layout and story pacing
Panel size controls pacing. Large panels slow the reader down and signal importance. Small panels create speed. A panel that breaks the border feels like a moment bursting out of normal time. Pick "Dynamic action" for fights and chases, "Story build" for dialogue and "Full splash" for one big moment.
Writing prompts that produce great manga
Describe who is there, what happens and how it should feel, not just what to draw. For example: "A young boxer stares down an undefeated champion for the first time. The champion is enormous. The boxer is trembling but determined." Keep each line of dialogue short, and put exact words in quotes.
Whole books with the AI Manga Maker
The AI Manga Maker is the manga app inside Ziztu. You describe the story and its Director writes the script, plans the pages, draws a sheet for each character so they stay on model, draws every page and letters the balloons and sound effects. You can redraw a page or a panel, edit balloons, and export the book as a PDF, a print PDF, a CBZ, PNG files or a webtoon strip.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make manga with AI?
For one page, describe the scene here, pick a genre and a layout, and press Generate. For a story of several pages, use the AI Manga Maker: you describe the story and it plans the pages, draws the cast and letters the dialogue.
Is it free?
You can try it free. Sign up with an email address and you get 40 free trial credits. One page here costs 38 credits, so the trial covers one page. Free trial results carry a small watermark. The AI Manga Maker shows the price of a book before it starts.
How do I keep my characters consistent across pages?
Use the AI Manga Maker. It draws a character sheet for each character first and uses it on every page. On this page, each run is a new page, so describe each character the same way every time.
What is the difference between manga and webtoon?
Manga is printed in black and white, often reads right to left and uses a page format. Webtoons are full color and scroll vertically on a phone. The AI Manga Maker can export a webtoon strip as well as pages.
Which model draws the pages?
Nano Banana Pro from Google, at 1K resolution, on this page. The AI Manga Maker uses GPT Image 2.5 for character sheets and pages.
Can I turn my manga into an animated video?
Yes, in Ziztu Studio. A panel can become a short clip with image to video, and Studio chains clips into a motion comic.
