What it does
A tool for producing manga from a finished text such as a short story or novel. The agent writes a script, makes a storyboard, generates base images and panel art, then checks them and assembles pages with speech and balloons. Text and balloons sit in a separate layer, so lines can be edited without redrawing. The output is a browser reader and a PDF. The repository holds three agent skills, `manga-production`, `manga-review` and `manga-art-direction`, while a shared CLI in the `cli` folder handles layout, PDF, version history and reproduction. A new project runs in `quality` mode, and `economy` mode saves quota by limiting materials and reviewing only the needed panels independently.
Who it is for. Authors of stories and novels who want to turn text into manga and are ready to guide an agent through script, panels and checks.
Good fit when
- A finished story must become the first manga chapter with lettering and a PDF.
- An author wants to change lines in finished panels without regenerating images.
- A release needs independent review of every panel before pages are assembled.
- A project has to be reproduced on another computer from its version history.
Not a fit when
- The agent in use lacks image generation and visual checking.
- Agent quota is small and a full cycle spends it on many images and reviews.
- You need a quick hand illustration, not a controlled process with checks.
Example request
Make manga from the attached story: script, storyboard, panels, lettering, review and PDF, economy mode.Limitations
The full automatic cycle works only where the agent can generate images, check them visually and run an independent review. It needs Node.js 24, Chrome or Edge, a Japanese font, Python with `reportlab`, `pypdf` and `Pillow`, plus Poppler. In Claude Code images come from an external ComfyUI, described in `docs/CLAUDE-CODE.md`. Rights to the source text, references and models stay with their owners. Documentation is mostly in Japanese.
How to disable. Delete the cloned project folder and the `manga-*` skill directories from `.agents/skills/`. Finished works live in the `MANGA_PROJECT` folder.
FAQ
Where do I start?
The README offers a ready prompt to copy into a new Codex chat: the agent clones the repository, checks the environment and reports readiness. After that you attach the source text.
What does the environment need?
Node.js 24, Chrome or Edge, a Japanese font, Python with `reportlab`, `pypdf` and `Pillow`, and Poppler. The agent checks them per the instructions and installs what is missing.
How do I enable economy mode?
Run `node cli/auto.mjs start "C:\path\original.txt" --mode economy`. For an existing project run `node cli/stage-review.mjs mode economy`, and `mode quality` switches back.
Does it work with Claude Code?
Yes, per `docs/CLAUDE-CODE.md`: external ComfyUI generates images, while Claude Code checks panels and runs independent reviews.
Where are the skills?
In `.agents/skills/`: `manga-production`, `manga-review` and `manga-art-direction`. Cursor and Claude Code pick them up as ordinary Agent Skills.
