Three steps to a four-page short
You bring the story; it does the drawing. You can see what it's doing at every step. (The interface is in Chinese during the beta.)
Tell the story
One sentence is enough. Pick page count and art style with a click.
Pick the version you want
It proposes three directions, each with a full four-act outline. Choose one, or ask for "a bit gentler".
Get a finished manga
Characters, panels, screentone and vertical lettering, all laid out: four black-and-white pages on the canvas next to your story.
How Shuohua uses Claude
Plan first, then draw. Claude plans the script, storyboard and layout; image models only draw each panel.
- CLAUDE
Script
Turns your one sentence into three plot directions, each with a full four-act outline.
- CLAUDE
Characters & storyboard
Sets the characters, then the shot, expression and dialogue for every panel.
- IMAGE MODEL
Drawing
Draws each panel from the storyboard, several candidates per panel.
- CLAUDE · VISION
Pick & check
Looks at every candidate, picks the one that matches the storyboard, and explains what to redraw when none does.
- CLAUDE CODE
Layout
Claude looks at the images and decides panel shapes and sizes; code computes coordinates, screentone and vertical lettering.
- CLAUDE · CHAT
Edit by talking
Say "make her smile in this panel" and it works out what to change and redraws only that panel.
Best scripts
We tested several models. Claude writes the stories with the best pacing, the ones people actually want to finish.
Best layouts
Panel flow decides whether a manga is readable. Claude was the strongest model we tested at layout planning.
Better than raw image generation
Having Claude plan and image models draw produces more complete, more readable pages than asking an image model for a whole page.
Where we are: Shuohua's agent is designed around Claude, and we develop and test with Claude. At launch it runs on the Claude API; other models are only a fallback or handle cheaper steps.
Don't like one panel?
Change only that panel.
Several options for every panel
Click to swap; the page updates instantly.
Select it, say one sentence
Nothing else moves.
"Make her smile here"
Every step can be undone
Your edits and the agent's are all in the history; roll back any time.
Hand it off, or work together
Switch any time, even halfway through.
Tell the story, go make coffee
Come back to four finished pages. It picks the best images and checks its own layout, and only asks when it's unsure.
It stops and asks at each step
- Which story?
- Do the characters look right?
- Redraw this panel?
There are modes for beginners and for professional creators. Pro mode lets you drag gutters, adjust crops and lay out freely.
"Return by a Sunny Day"

Read right to left; the dialogue is in Chinese. Made by the production pipeline; we'll add more genres before the beta.
Points: pay for what you make

Quiet for small things, asks for big ones
Swapping images, fixing text and small edits just happen. A big job like a full autopilot run shows the maximum points first and starts only when you confirm. Unused or failed work is refunded.
Planned pre-launch pricing in Taiwan dollars; we'll adjust after the beta based on real usage. Quality modes: quick, standard, polished (polished uses about 1.5× the points).
FAQ
Can I use it if I can't draw at all?
Yes, that's exactly who it's for. If you can tell a story, it handles character design, storyboarding, drawing and layout.
Do I own the manga I make?
Yes. We don't train models on your work. Commercial licensing details will be published before launch.
Does it work on phones?
Desktop browsers only for now. You can email us from your phone and we'll send a link to open on your computer.
Will it burn through my points?
Small edits just happen; big jobs show the maximum cost and wait for your confirmation. Failed, cancelled or under-budget work is refunded.
Can I draw my favourite anime characters?
No. Shuohua is for original characters only, and all-ages content.
Is there a webtoon format?
Black-and-white page manga for now. Vertical colour webtoons are planned; tell us which you'd prefer when you write in.
Is it as good as a professional mangaka?
Not yet. It's very good at turning a story into a complete, readable short, but the detail isn't at a pro artist's level. Redraw any panel, or hand it to an artist to polish.
