1. Classic Shounen
Characterized by bold lines and dynamic action. Perfect for battle stories and high-energy adventures. Our text to manga guide covers how to prompt for these intense scenes.
2. Detailed Seinen
Heavier inking, realistic proportions, and complex shading. Best for psychological thrillers and mature dramas.
