What makes manhwa read like manhwa
Down the page, left to right
Set a series to vertical scroll and that is what every reader gets, on a phone and on a desktop — one continuous column instead of pages that turn, and reading order left to right rather than the right-to-left a manga would use.
Episode by episode
Publish one episode at a time rather than waiting on a volume. Each goes through review once and then appears for readers by itself, and the people following your series are told about it.
Full colour from the first panel
Manhwa is read in colour, so start from the Webtoon or Anime colour look, or describe your own palette. Black-and-white pages you already have can become a colour edition: each page coloured with the linework left alone, in a separate series you review before it goes live.
Korean lettering, readers everywhere
The lettering editor has a Korean face for dialogue and sound effects. When the series is ready to travel, a translated edition rewrites only the text on each page into the language you choose and leaves the art untouched.
What it looks like, step by step
Screenshots of the actual screens, in the order you meet them.
-
1
Choose the manhwa shape
Vertical scrolling on the series form is the difference between a manhwa and a page-turning comic. Pick it once and every episode follows.
-
2
Write the episode as beats
A beat is one panel of the scroll. Write them in order and the episode is built in the order a reader will meet it.
-
3
Look at the art before anyone else
Panels arrive on a review screen. Approve what fits the episode; regenerate the rest for the cost of that beat alone.

4
Publish the scroll
Readers get one continuous column and a follow button. Free to read, on any browser.

The lettering editor got eleven fonts, forty-seven sounds and ten bubble shapes, and what you letter stays editable. Covers and banners can carry text at last. Inky shows you the art it makes, and the promo kit comes cut for every platform.
Read the walkthrough →Questions people ask
What is the difference between manhwa and manga here?
The reading mode. A manhwa series is set to vertical scrolling and reads left to right; a manga series turns pages right to left. Both are settings on the series, and the reader honours whichever you chose.
Is it free to publish manhwa here?
Yes. Accounts, series and publishing are free. Credits are only spent if you ask the AI to draw a panel for you.
Can I colour the panels myself?
Yes. Any page can be replaced with your own file, and a whole episode can be uploaded rather than generated. Colour work you do elsewhere comes across unaltered.
Do readers need an app?
No. Every episode reads in a browser, and readers do not need an account to start reading a free chapter.
What does a chapter cost in dollars?
One AI-drawn page costs 10 credits (about $0.30), so a 20-page chapter comes to 200 credits (about $5.99). Uploading art you drew yourself costs nothing. Credit packs start at $5.99.
