Komiko - Canva, but for Anime & Comics Storytelling

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋

I’m Sophia, maker of Komiko — and today I’m super excited (and a little nervous!) to finally share something I’ve been pouring my heart into: Komiko, a platform I started to make anime and comic storytelling accessible to everyone.

🖌️ Why Komiko?

I grew up obsessing over anime and webtoons, dreaming up stories I never had the skills to draw. Even later, after working in AI research and building tech products, I still couldn’t quite let go of that dream. That’s what led me to build Komiko — canva for anime & comics storytelling.

Komiko is made for people like me — who have stories in their heads, but maybe not the time, tools, or art skills to bring them to life. With Komiko, you can go from idea to anime art, comics, and even animations in just minutes.

✨ What you can do on Komiko

• Design Original Characters – Make your own OCs from scratch, no drawing needed

• Generate AI Art – Create stunning, consistent images of your characters

• Make Anime Videos – Turn your storyboards into short animations

• Create Comics, Webtoons & Manga – Lay out entire stories with drag-and-drop tools

🧠 What drives us

Making stories used to be something only trained artists could do. But with generative AI, we saw a chance to lower the barrier—to help more voices and visions come to life.

Whether you’re an artist who wants to speed up your workflow, or someone who’s never touched a pen but has a story to tell, Komiko gives you the tools to express yourself.

💬 We’d love your thoughts

This is just the beginning for Komiko, and we’re learning fast from our community. If you give it a try, I’d love to hear what you think—what works, what’s broken, what you’d love to see next.

Thanks so much for reading — and I can’t wait to see what you create 💫

I've always had a bunch of storylines and plots in mind that I wished could come to life. The ability to turn them into comics or animations without needing advanced drawing skills is truly empowering. One question though — how do you ensure consistency in character design across different scenes or comic panels? That’s something I’ve seen many AI tools struggle with.

@sophia_h Komiko sounds like a dream tool for anime and comic creators! Love how it puts powerful visual storytelling tools in the hands of fans and artists alike — from characters to full animations, all in one place. Super excited to see what people create with it!

Perfect for anime fans who’ve always had stories in their head but no way to draw them. Congrats on the launch!

Curious: does Komiko support ongoing series or episode formats?

Super proud to be part of the team behind Komiko! As someone who’s passionate about anime and storytelling, it’s amazing to see this dream come to life. Can’t wait to hear what the community thinks and see what you all create!

#1 I love canva...and #2 I love anime! The hardest part when I'd try to us AI to create characters is to retain that consistency. This looks great!

I absolutely love Komiko! I feel like I can easily create comics with Komiko, which is something I’ve always wanted to try

This looks like a game-changer for anime and comic creators! Love how Komiko streamlines everything from character design to animation in one platform. Excited to see how artists and storytellers use it to bring their ideas to life.

I love how easy it is to generate visually compelling manga with just a few prompts. The character designs, story progression, and panel layout feel surprisingly professional for an automated tool. It's perfect for storytellers who want to bring their ideas to life without needing to draw. Excited to see how this evolves—definitely a game-changer for indie creators and manga lovers alike!
