And I know you’re all gonna be like.

Oh wow, much better than A.I slop, why don’t you do this more, this is true art.

I agree ☝🏽 but I just wanted a tool to make doing this possible without needing to isolate myself.

I made this manga in rehab, in isolation, during a depression.

I get that comics and manga came out of similar situations (post World War II)

but it’s also ok to utilize technology to help people do this without the need to first go through some crisis.

Thanks for the feedback though.

Hi I made this with A.I and wanted some feedback

I just wanted an honest opinion, I’m not even going to share a link or talk about how my app is free and BYOK because nobody cares.

This is the impression I get from everyone.

A.I Slop, this isn’t real art, learn to draw, your cheating and so on.

Honestly I find this to be the most consistent and close to perfect page and at worst case it’s just an amazing reference for me who has a 9 to 5 job and my dream of being a mangaka has been destroyed by adulthood life and reality.

Then again I feel like I beat the system, I can still make manga, if it’s good enough I can break it down and draw ✍️ knowing I have an end already In sight literally.

This is my manga studio now.

So to you artists out there, do you also use A.I in your workflow?

Also I CAN draw but the time to do it is my problem not the skill, what about you.

Oh yeah and I implemented an auto translation feature but I don’t know Japanese so someone can let me know if that Japanese text is garbage (and I’ll fix it)

Thanks for your honest opinions.

MangaManzi A.I BYOK GPT image 2 Manga Creation Studio

Spent the last few months building MangaManzi because every AI image tool fails the same way at manga: the character drifts. Page 1 she's got curly hair, page 2 the curls are straight, page 3 her outfit changed colors. You can't tell a story when your protagonist isn't recognizable.

So I built around a reference card system instead of text prompts.

How it works: you set up four cards per project — Character (4-angle turnaround), Props, Environment, Scale sheet. Build them once, reuse forever. Every panel you generate sends the full card stack to GPT Image 2 as visual input, not just text. The model sees her face, her outfit, her gear, her world on every call. Consistency stops being luck.

Two passes per page: lineart first (pure ink, no tones), then color (cell-shaded, locked palette). Director's notes per panel. A4 ratio. PDF export per chapter. Claude Sonnet 4.6 handles the prompt architecture and panel direction in the background.

It's free. No subscription, no credits, no upsell. You bring your own OpenAI key and Anthropic key. You pay the providers directly — usually a few cents to a couple dollars per page depending on quality settings. I'm not in the loop.

Built for two kinds of people:

- Artists who already have original character designs and want to scale to full pages using their own references

- Storytellers with no art skill who want manga that actually looks coherent

If you've tried this with Midjourney or SD and given up on consistency, this is a different approach. Reference cards are ingredients, GPT Image 2 is the chef.

[https://mangamanzi.com/] — would love feedback, especially from people who've fought the consistency problem.

I made this with GPT Image 2, based on a character design I made for a character I call Faye Lyn

I was expressing how much I loved GPT image 2 in consistency then my post was removed by mods.

Isn’t this an A.I Art Reddit?
