Each tool in a few lines
Konyomi
Konyomi is our pick for writers, because it starts from prose. Paste a scene, a chapter or a whole draft of up to 200,000 characters, or talk an idea through with Kon. Kon splits the story into up to 40 chapters, draws each character once before any page and then draws every panel with those drawings as the reference. You choose one of ten styles, seven of them manga looks.
Every balloon and caption is text on top of the art, so fixing a line is free. A single panel can be redrawn from a note. A chapter of up to 6 pages takes about 10 minutes, and you see the gem price before each step. Gem packs start at $19.99 for 5 chapters, paid once. Konyomi has no layout editor or app-store app. It runs in a phone browser and installs to the home screen. Read text to manga for the details, or the AI comic generator page for its western comic styles.
LlamaGen
LlamaGen is the broadest studio here. It takes prompts, scripts, images and imported PDF, CBZ or EPUB files, and offers layout editing, LoRA training and apps. The plans run from $18 to $200 a month, and some limits depend on the plan. Konyomi vs LlamaGen compares the two in detail.
Anifusion
Anifusion is for people who want to direct every panel on a desktop canvas, with inpainting, manga fonts and their own trained characters. It starts at $9 a month and gives 100 free credits. It does not support phones. See Konyomi vs Anifusion.
ComicInk
ComicInk turns a prompt, outline or chapter into a comic issue and can turn a comic into video. It exports a print-ready PDF and has an iOS app. Its plans cost $9.99 and $19.99 a month, and editing happens by describing changes to an assistant. See Konyomi vs ComicInk.
Mangaka
Mangaka turns a script or a .txt file into manga, with iOS and Android apps and animation on higher plans. Its public site does not list credit amounts, length limits or export formats, so compare on a free account first. See Konyomi vs Mangaka.
ComicsAI
ComicsAI shares the most manga-specific editing in this list with Anifusion: vertical text, Japanese fonts, layers and inpainting. Its footer links 35 named style pages, from Shonen to Ninja Anime. The free tier is a single credit, and plans start at $15.90 a month.
AI Comic Factory
AI Comic Factory at aicomicfactory.com makes comic pages from a short description, at 1 credit per panel. Its unlimited plan costs $34.99 a month. Its site lists few editing tools and no export formats. The original open-source AI Comic Factory still runs free on Hugging Face. AI Comic Factory alternatives explains the two versions and who should stay.
How we compared
Konyomi makes this page, so Konyomi is listed first. Konyomi facts come from the product itself. Every fact about another tool comes from that tool's own public pages, which are linked below, and was checked on October 27, 2026. Where a site does not state something, the table says "Not listed". We did not test output quality, because it changes with each model update.
Dashtoon Studio is missing on purpose. Its site says it shut down on August 15, 2026. If you used it, read what to use now that Dashtoon has closed.
