Check names, essential dialogue and omitted details before approving the plan.
What you get
Adapt instead of transcribing
Turn visible actions into panels and reserve captions for information readers cannot see. Review what gets shortened.
Introduce the cast clearly
Approve character references before the first scene. Check that names, roles and appearances remain consistent.
Plan right-to-left reading
Review panel order and bubble placement together. Leave room for dialogue so the page reads without hesitation.
Finish one chapter
Read the full adaptation, correct omissions and export the pages. Use the sample to refine the approach for later chapters.
