Shōjo Manga Maker
In short
Shōjo manga is manga aimed at teenage girls, read by everyone: delicate fine lines, large sparkling eyes, flowers and soft screentone, and stories about feelings, friendship and first love. Panelo writes the script from your idea, keeps characters consistent, draws each panel in this style, and letters right-to-left black and white pages.

Real comics from the gallery, drawn in this style from a one-line idea. Open one to read it or remix the idea.
What makes it shōjo
- Big expressive eyes
- Large, shining eyes that show every feeling.
- Fine, light lines
- Delicate linework, long hair, flowing clothes.
- Flowers and sparkles
- Backgrounds become flowers, bubbles or light at emotional moments.
- Inner voice
- Thought lines and captions float outside the balloons.
How to write one
- The story is a feeling: what does the lead want but can't say?
- Use thought lines often; shōjo lives inside the character's head.
- Give a close-up to every important reaction.
- Keep romance sweet and age-appropriate; the gallery is for families too.

Shōjo Manga FAQ
What does shōjo mean?
"Girl" in Japanese. Like shōnen, it names a magazine category; the stories are read by everyone.
Can I make a romance manga?
Yes. Sweet romance between adults or a crush between teens without anything suggestive is fine to share in the gallery.
How long is one comic?
6 to 24 panels, about one to five manga pages. The first 4 panels are free to try.
