FAQ.
What does the shōjo style actually look like?+
Delicate fine linework, soft screen tones, large shimmering eyes, flower and sparkle overlays on emotional beats, and gentle cross-hatched backgrounds — the shōjo house style. Our shōjo manga style guide breaks down every element.
How do I get sparkle and flower screentone effects?+
Choose the Shōjo style and call the effect out in the prompt — "sparkle overlay, rose petals drifting, soft flower-pattern tone behind her". Those overlays are part of the style's vocabulary, so naming the emotion of the beat is usually enough to trigger them.
Is shōjo only romance?+
No — shōjo is a demographic (manga aimed at young women), not a single genre. Our what is shōjo primer covers how much wider the category actually is.
Can both leads stay consistent through a whole chapter?+
Yes. Save each lead in Character Maker (or upload a reference image for each) and every panel of the confession arc is generated around the same two faces and outfits.
Can I mix shōjo panels with chibi reaction panels?+
Yes. Styles can be switched between panels in the same project without losing your characters, so the classic shōjo move — a tender close-up followed by a chibi face-fault — works out of the box.
