Story to Panels Workflow
How to go from a written story to manga panels in MangaOra: outline, AI breakdown, and panel generation.
Outline your story
In Studio, your chapter script and page plan are your roadmap. Start from a premise, a chapter summary, or a full scene, then let Studio help turn it into panels and pages. The plan becomes the backbone: you reference it when generating panels and can refine descriptions before each generation, so you never lose the thread of your story.
Plan my manga (AI breakdown)
For a full story or chapter, use Studio to generate or refine your chapter plan. The AI analyzes your text and produces a page plan with suggested panels, a character list, and continuity notes. Confirm your characters, then continue in Studio with the blueprint already in place so you don't start from zero. It's the fastest way to go from "I have a manuscript" to "I have a plan."
Create panels in order
In Studio, work through your chapter plan one panel or page at a time. The main description drives the image; optional fields (location, narration, speech) add context and keep the AI on track. Use AI suggestions when helpful, or write your own. Each image is generated and added to your page—reorder, replace, or regenerate as needed until every frame feels right.
Keep continuity
Use Studio notes, continuity guidance, and "avoid" instructions so the AI keeps outfits, props, and style consistent across the whole chapter. Liora can also suggest consistency and pacing (monthly question limits depend on your plan). For long books, your story bible and chapter notes help both the AI and Liora give better, more coherent advice.
Export your manga
When your pages are done, use Export to download images or a PDF. Your story has become a visual manga—ready to share with the world or send to a printer.
