# Manga

Black and white panels with expressive ink, in either reading direction.

## How kdpbookai makes it: AI comics

An AI model writes the script page by page: panels, shots, speech balloons and captions. You edit the script before anything is drawn.

Characters get a reference sheet so they stay recognizable from panel to panel. Balloons are real text set by the layout engine, not letters inside the picture, so they stay sharp and editable.
