The story of how it started with "Please support Tarao-san" and somehow grew into a system for making manga | AI Utilization | Generative AI | Image Generation AI | #331

1. This is a project participation article.
2. This article is a promotional piece.
3. I may receive a tip upon meeting the conditions.

A creator I respect asked me for a favor.

"Please support Tarao-san" they said.

And when I heard that, I thought.

Well, I could just write it in an article.
I could also just summarize it like an announcement.

But if I did that, it probably wouldn't be very interesting.

Since I had the chance, I wanted to make it into a form that
conveys the momentum and the vibe.

And before I knew it, I had turned it into a manga.

And honestly, even if you look at this, I'm sure you'll
never be able to tell who asked me.

You can rest easy on that front.

I guarantee it.
Trying to find the culprit is probably impossible.

But what was interesting this time is that,
more than the act of making the manga itself,
in the process of doing so,

"an HTML tool that connects composition and AI generation"

I even ended up making that.

First, take a look at that manga.

And I also made the tool to create this.

I didn't just make a manga this time.
This was something I created based on a post from another creator.

What I was using behind the scenes was
an HTML tool that allows you to organize and place dialogue, prompts, and sketches within a paneled screen
.

In short, it's a tool that connects
"how I want it to look" and
"how I want to shape it with AI"
.

Even if you can see it in your head, things get messy when you actually start making it, right?

• What to have them say here

• Which panel to emphasize

• What kind of expression to use

• What to use as a prompt if sending it to AI

I made the request to be able to put all these things in one place a reality.
I embodied that request.

First, the local version

This one is the version for thinking by hand.

It's something where you can create a storyboard with a mouse or pen,
and send it directly to the AI.

If you want to build the flow yourself first, this one is more suitable.
Because you can place those 'strange human obsessions' like the spacing between panels or the tone of the dialogue first.

Next, the AI automated version

This one is the super lazy version.

You send the text you want to turn into manga to the AI,
and have the AI create a rough draft of the panel layout.

'I want a starting point first'
'I want to get it into shape before thinking about the details'

For times like that, this one is faster.

Both are still in beta

Both of them are still in beta.

But this time, I actually tried using them.

And, I thought.

It turned out pretty well, didn't it?

Doesn't a tool like this make you a little excited?

You thought, 'Actually, I might want to try it out,' didn't you?

...Huh?
You're saying, 'I don't need a tool like that!!'?

No, please don't say that.
I'll cry a little.

I'm planning to release it somewhere, after all...

Summary

I was asked by a creator I respect.

'Please support Tarao-san,' they said.

And instead of just introducing that in an article, I somehow turned it into a manga.
And somehow, in that process,

I even built an HTML tool for assembling manga.

I think the order of events is pretty strange.

But sometimes, in creative work, proper tools sprout from these kinds of detours.

This time, I wanted you to see it as a manga first.

On top of that,
'Actually, I built this using this kind of tool,'
is something I wanted to leave behind as well.

Tools aren't finished just because you've made them.

They only really come into their own once they're used and nurtured.

Perhaps the most interesting part this time was that while I was supposed to be making a manga to support Tarao-san, I realized I was also

supporting the 'system for making manga'
as well.

*This time, it also serves as a prototype to clearly convey the flow of a certain project.
*Also, you probably won't be able to tell who asked me to do this just from this article. That's by design.

▼Tarao-san's page

▼ Page for all the Tarawo Girls

▼ Official Tarawo Girls of Hitotarawo-san

There are seven conditions, so make sure to read them carefully.
*By the way, I don't meet the conditions. I don't know who the girls are lol. Tell me who I should include.

Thanks to your kindness, I'm sure, probably, I've met them.

And, Tarawo-san was easy to summon.

Is this okay as a summoning project!? lol

Postscript

The girls are super kind, but... lol
Thank you for pointing out various shortcomings.
I have to thank them...

Well then, see you later.
