Complete Guide for Manga Screenwriters
From Script to Visuals
As a screenwriter, you master the story but not necessarily the drawing. Bulle.ai transforms your scripts into visual manga.
📝 Your role as a screenwriter
- Write the script: Plot, characters, dialogues
- Break down into panels: Describe each visual action
- Define camera angles: Wide shot, close-up, bird's-eye view
- Specify emotions: Facial expressions, body language
Professional manga script format:
PAGE 1
PANEL 1 - Exterior wide shot, day
Modern high school, students entering. Calm atmosphere.
NARRATION: "Tokyo, Shibuya High, 8 AM."
PANEL 2 - Interior medium shot
KAITO (16, protagonist) enters class, looking tired.
KAITO: "Late again... The teacher's gonna kill me."
💡 Tip: The more precise your script, the better the visual result.
Create Your Characters
As a screenwriter, define your characters in textual detail:
📋 Physical Description
- Age, height, build
- Hair (color, style, length)
- Eyes (color, shape)
- Distinguishing features (scars, tattoos)
- Usual clothing
🎭 Personality
- Dominant character traits
- Speech patterns
- Recurring expressions
- Tics, habits
- General posture
Bulle.ai generates the visuals from your textual description. The character will be consistent across all pages.
💡 Tip: Write a "character bible" with all descriptions before you start.
Technical Breakdown
The breakdown transforms your script into visual panels:
- Read your scene and identify key actions
- Determine the number of panels: 1 action = 1 panel minimum
- Choose camera angles for each panel:
- Wide shot: Establish the scene, show the environment
- Medium shot: Character from head to thighs
- Close-up: Face, strong emotion
- Extreme close-up: Eyes, important detail
- Vary the angles: Front, profile, high-angle, low-angle
- Add dialogues in each panel
With Bulle.ai: Enter your panel-by-panel breakdown, the AI generates the visuals in 30 seconds/panel.
💡 Tip: Alternate wide shots (breathing room) and close-ups (tension) for pacing.
Test Your Stories Quickly
The screenwriter's advantage with AI: test 10x faster than with an artist:
⚡ Production Speed
| With an artist | With Bulle.ai |
| 1 chapter = 2-4 weeks | 1 chapter = 2-3 hours |
| Revisions = days | Revisions = minutes |
| Cost = €500-2000/chapter | Cost = credits (€10-20) |
Use cases for screenwriters:
- Test a concept: Create 3-5 pages to see if the story works visually
- Pitch to publishers: Present a full chapter instead of just a script
- Portfolio: Showcase your narrative skills visually
- Independent series: Publish without needing an artist
💡 Tip: Create multiple versions of the same scene to test different narrative angles.
Screenwriter-AI Collaboration
