Solving one of Manga Production’s biggest challenge
For many manga creators, backgrounds are both essential and exhausting. They shape the world, but they also take up a huge amount of time especially when you’re working alone or on a tight schedule.
Sekaitoon! helps by turning photos or rough sketches into manga-ready backgrounds in seconds. It takes care of perspective, depth, and structure, so creators can drop the results straight into their pages.
Instead of replacing creativity, Sekaitoon! removes friction freeing up time and energy for storytelling, character moments, and pacing.
Built specifically for Manga Creators
Unlike general-purpose image generation tools, Sekaitoon! is designed to fit naturally into manga workflows, supporting styles like shōnen, shōjo, and web manga, while keeping the look and feel consistent from panel to panel.
Key features include:
• Photo & Sketch-based Generation
Upload a snapshot or a simple sketch, and Sekaitoon! transforms it into a high-quality manga background in seconds. Choose from 10 styles, including B&W Manga Ink, Modern Webtoon, and Classic 90s, all designed to fit seamlessly into your story’s look and mood.
Smart Removal automatically removes distracting elements like people, cars, and sign text, dramatically reducing background cleanup time.
• Style Consistency AI
Sekaitoon! can learn a creator’s existing drawing style and apply it consistently across generated backgrounds, preventing visual mismatches between panels or chapters.
To address concerns around AI training and creator rights, ACTUAL Inc. emphasizes that:
- Style models are isolated per user
- User data is never reused for other creators
- Styles are not incorporated into general AI models without explicit permission
• 4K, Print-ready Output
Generated images support up to 4K resolution, making them suitable for commercial publishing, print media, and high-resolution digital distribution. Outputs are ready to be used right away in your manga.
Pre-order Incentives & Test User Program
Creators who join the waiting list receive launch benefits, including:
- 50% Discounted early-access pricing
- Priority access before public release
- 500 bonus generation credits
We’re also looking for test users to help shape Sekaitoon! before launch. By answering a quick 3-minute survey about your workflow, you’ll get 100 bonus credits plus an extra 10% off, in addition to the launch perks.

Development background & Technical Foundation
ACTUAL Inc. has previously developed solutions that focus on expressing spatial value, including Whereness, a 360° and 3D spatial technology platform, and ArchiX, an AI image and video generation tool for architecture and spatial design.
Sekaitoon! is not a product built from scratch. It is based on the advanced spatial understanding and generative AI control technologies developed through years of building and operating these existing products.
By applying technology originally refined for architectural visualization and digital twins, ACTUAL Inc. was able to develop Sekaitoon! at speed while still meeting the level of detail and spatial accuracy professional manga creators expect. The result is high-quality background generation that holds up to complex world-building and storytelling.
ACTUAL Inc. will continue to use technology to expand creative possibilities and support creators in new ways.
