Customer Reviews

This could have come with a manual but apart from that it is a great piece of software that once you get used to it allows you to create some really interesting comic book pages.
I have mainly been using my own images but the software allows you to either use their own templates for comic pages or allows you to cut up your own shapes to create some variety.
There are also some other useful tools such as various tones which you can add to your comic or some 'magic' shapes which you can paint on (such as flowers or stars).
It can be complicated at first and I downloaded a manual off the internet to help me get used to it, but I generally prefer to have a copy of a manual in my hands as it is easier to multi-task with it. So I would say that is its only flaw.
Also note this is the Debut version so you cannot export the files as PDFs without a separate program.

Once you've installed it you know you've bought something worth while. Manga studiois a fantastic way to create manga. it gives you loads of panels to choose from, with a simple drag onto the page. You can choose from pens, effects, backgrounds, colours,bubbles and much more. At first I had lower expections because I had been disappointed with anime debut 7 also by smith micro.bbut once I saw this, all my doubts were gone. It's amazingly easy to work most of this and has fantastic results. It would work well for any professional mangaka because of it's professional results. I recommend it to anyone, whether amateur or professional.
