I wrote 13 notebooks of stories as a kid but couldn’t draw. This week, I finally made one into a manga.”

Real talk: I wanted to be a mangaka since I was 12. I'm 24. I have notebooks. I cannot draw. I tried, for years. My hands just don't work that way.

This week I took the first story I ever wrote 4 pages about a kid who finds out their shadow is real, and slightly mean to them and turned it into an actual manga using MangaFlow Studio (AI tool, open beta, I'm a tester).

It might not look perfect to some people But the story EXISTS now, in a form I can show people. 12 years later.

I'm not posting to argue whether this counts as "real" manga. I'm posting because if you're in the same boat as me, your story is allowed to exist.

[4 pages + a photo of my old notebook]

"Turned my late Grandmother's bedtime story into an Ai Manga for our family reunion."

Grandma told us the same story every night when we were kids about a fox who lived inside a paper lantern. She passed last spring. Going through old photos with my cousins, we realized none of us remembered the story exactly the same way.

So we pieced it together what each cousin remembered, what my mom remembered, what my uncle remembered. I wrote it down. Then I used an AI manga tool I've been testing. Showed it to my mom on her birthday. She cried for twenty minutes. Posting because maybe this nudges someone else to do this before it's too late. [6 pages attached]
