What it looks like, step by step
Screenshots of the actual screens, in the order you meet them.
-
1
Start the manga
Title, synopsis, genres — and right-to-left reading, which decides how every chapter after this one behaves.
-
2
Write the chapter as pages
Each beat is a page. Name the characters in it and their sheets are pulled into the drawing without you pasting anything.
-
3
Approve the pages you want
Drawn pages wait on a review screen until you say so. Nothing is added to the chapter behind your back.

Publish it right to left
The chapter goes live in a reader that turns pages the manga way and says so to anyone meeting the format for the first time.

Questions people ask
Is it free to make manga online here?
Making an account, building a series and publishing chapters are free. Credits are only spent on AI drawing, so a manga you draw yourself can be published without paying anything.
Is right-to-left reading really supported, or bolted on?
It is a property of the series, honoured by the reader for every visitor. Pages advance right to left, spreads pair the way they should, and a first-time reader is told where to start.
Can I upload a manga I drew somewhere else?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Upload the pages, put them in order, publish. Work drawn elsewhere and brought here is not treated differently from work made here.
How do readers find my manga?
Published chapters appear in the catalogue and in the sitemap, each with its own address. Readers can follow the series and are told when a chapter lands.
What does a chapter cost in dollars?
One AI-drawn page costs 10 credits (about $0.30), so a 20-page chapter comes to 200 credits (about $5.99). Uploading art you drew yourself costs nothing. Credit packs start at $5.99.
