4 prompts that work
A cover is one character, one pose, one color idea, and space for a title. Tell the model where the empty area goes.
Cost: 1 token per panel
- PROMPT 01
Manga cover: a girl with a katana stands on a rooftop against a huge red moon, wind in her hair, looking down at the viewer; leave the top third empty for the title.
→ A portrait-orientation cover with the character framed low and clean sky above for lettering.
- PROMPT 02
Manga cover: two rival boys back to back, one in white, one in black, split lighting, dramatic, simple gradient background, empty space at the bottom.
→ A dual-lead cover with a strong symmetry and room at the bottom for volume number and author.
- PROMPT 03
Manga cover: chibi cast of four characters piled on a giant onigiri, bright pastel colors, playful, title area at the top.
→ A comedy-series cover with a busy but readable composition and a clear title zone.
- PROMPT 04
Manga cover: a lone astronaut girl floating above Earth, helmet visor reflecting stars, deep blue palette, minimal, lots of negative space.
→ A minimalist sci-fi cover where the empty space is the design — easy to letter.

FAQ.
What styles can I use for a cover?+
Everything Gootaku's Manga and Comic Makers support: classic B&W manga, shōnen, shōjo, seinen, chibi manga, anime, webtoon, noir, and retro comic — 10 styles in total.
What size should a Wattpad or ebook cover be?+
Wattpad covers are around 512×800 px, and Kindle Direct Publishing recommends roughly 1600×2560 px — both a 2:3 portrait ratio, which most reading platforms share. Generate the cover in Gootaku, download the image, and crop or upscale it to fit — double-check the platform's current spec page, since exact pixel limits do change.
Can I use the same character on my cover and inside my chapters?+
Yes — design your character once in Character Maker and reuse the same face on your cover and in every panel of your story, so nothing looks mismatched.
Can I generate several cover variations to compare?+
Yes. Each generation is 1 token, so you can try a few compositions — close-up, full-body, moody wide shot — and keep the strongest one. Generations that fail are refunded automatically.
Where should the title text go on the cover?+
Gootaku generates the artwork; add the title and author name afterwards in any image editor. Leave headroom in the prompt ("empty sky above the character") so there is clean space for the typography.
