Question 1

Do I need drawing skills to use MangaManzi?

Accepted Answer

No drawing skills required. You describe your characters and world in plain text. AI generates the artwork. You direct — the AI draws.

Question 2

What is an OpenAI API key and how do I get one?

Accepted Answer

An API key lets you use OpenAI's image generation model directly. Get one free at platform.openai.com. Paste it into MangaManzi settings. Typical generation cost: $0.04–0.08 per page.

Question 3

How is this different from Midjourney or DALL-E?

Accepted Answer

General image generators produce random results with no character consistency between images. MangaManzi uses reference sheets — your character looks the same in every panel, every page, every chapter.

Question 4

Does it support Japanese manga format?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Right-to-left reading direction, Japanese speech bubbles, authentic SFX in katakana and hiragana, full Japanese interface available.

Question 5

Can I export my manga for print or publishing?

Accepted Answer

Export individual pages as PNG or full chapters as A4 PDF, ready for print or digital distribution.

Question 6

Is my content private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your API key is stored locally in your browser only. MangaManzi never sees or stores your API key. Generated images are yours.
