01

What is Mangaka?

Mangaka is an agentic studio inside Higgsfield, introduced on November 3, 2026. It turns a one-line idea, a finished script, or an image into a manga, comic, or vertical webtoon: it plans the plot, creates the cast, and draws the chapters in order.

You bring the story. Mangaka handles the drawing board.

02

What you can start from

  • A one-line idea
  • A script as a PDF or DOCX file, up to 25 MB
  • An image
  • Characters built from photos, with names and short descriptions
  • A template story you recreate with your own heroes
03

Settings

Styles
Black-and-white manga, colour manga, comic, or webtoon
Page formats
3:4, 9:16, or 2:3
Length
Up to 30 chapters of about 20, 30, or 40 pages
Languages
14, including English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Arabic

Changing the language retranslates the dialogue and refits it into the speech bubbles.

04

Auto or Manual

Auto
The agent creates the cast and chapters on its own
Manual
You generate and approve each character, location, and prop before chapters are drawn

Higgsfield recommends Manual for your first project.

05

The workflow

  • Analyse: the agent writes the series plan, with plot, genre, tone, episodes, characters, locations, and props, in about five minutes
  • Cast: create and approve characters, locations, and props so they stay consistent
  • Generate and read: chapters are drawn in order and become readable as they finish
06

Edit your pages

  • Redraw, reframe, or rewrite a single panel
  • Edit a whole page with a text description
  • Add speech bubbles, then click Apply lettering
  • Use Upscale, Relight, and Remove background
  • Pause generation at any point
07

Templates and Recreate

Browse genre templates such as romance, fantasy, sci-fi, and drama. Recreate swaps in your own characters from photos, changes the title, and adjusts the story with a prompt.

08

Export and publish

  • Export as PDF, CBZ, PNG pages, or webtoon format
  • Publish to host your work on Higgsfield
09

What it costs

Character or location
4 credits, about $0.20
30-page chapter
30 credits, about $1.47
Single-page edit
1 credit, about $0.05

Higgsfield’s estimates assume a $49 plan with 1,000 credits. Check current pricing before you start a long series.

Tips for a strong story

  • Write a clear one-paragraph premise with a goal and a conflict
  • Give each main character a distinct look and personality
  • Approve the cast carefully; it shapes every chapter
  • Read each chapter and fix panels before generating the next

Premise: a shy lighthouse keeper discovers the light guides lost spirits home, and one spirit refuses to leave. Tone: gentle fantasy with mystery. Audience: teens and adults.

11

Rights and content rules

  • Upload only scripts and photos you have the right to use
  • Get permission before turning real people into characters
  • Do not copy existing manga characters or stories
  • Content follows Higgsfield’s safety filters and Terms of Use

The golden rule

Do not let the agent write your story for you. Bring a clear premise and characters you love, approve the cast in Manual mode, and edit every chapter before you publish.

  • Idea
  • Script
  • Styles
  • Manual mode
  • Cast

Write a one-paragraph premise today and generate your first chapter in Manual mode.
