How it works

Three steps from text to pages

  1. 1

    Import the volume

    Upload the volume as a TXT file. Long chapters are split into parts of up to 3,000 characters.

  2. 2

    Set the anime look

    Use the Japanese anime preset, or the shonen preset for battle-heavy series.

  3. 3

    Adapt chapter by chapter

    Ask for a chapter; the assistant sets up the heroine, the rival and the party, then draws the pages.

Why it works

What makes the pages worth reading

Character designs that hold

Light novels live on their character designs. Each one is drawn once as a reference sheet and reused, so the heroine's hair and eyes do not wander.

Party of five? Fine

Each page can reference several character sheets at once, so group scenes keep everyone recognizable.

Volume two, same cast

Your project remembers everyone. Add the next volume's chapters and keep going.

Bubbles in Japanese or English

Choose the language that appears inside the panels, whatever language the novel is written in.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this and novel to manga?

Nothing in the tool — both use the same assistant. Light novels tend to have shorter chapters and larger casts, which suit four-panel pages well.

Can it draw a status window or game UI?

It can draw what the text describes, including a floating status window. Exact numbers and small text may not come out perfectly legible.

Can I keep the illustrations style of my volume covers?

Upload a cover illustration and use the style extractor to describe its look for your project.

Is there a page limit per chapter?

Each chapter can have several pages; the assistant decides how many the scenes need, within a per-chapter cap.

Your story is ready. The pages are not, yet.

Start a project, bring a chapter, and ask for it to be drawn.
