The graphics in this software are praised for their fun art style and quality character designs, making it suitable for creating simple visuals and artwork. However, users note that it has limitations for more complex projects, with minor issues like loading glitches and unintuitive custom posing. Overall, it serves well for basic artwork and as a base for further editing, but may not meet the needs of those seeking advanced customization.
- “Fun art style”
- “Character graphics are great”
- “For now, the software is perfect for creating artworks.”
- “I don't recommend this to anyone right now unless they suddenly start working on this again.”
- “If you are someone like me, who wanted to be able to customize the scene and, more importantly, a character to your liking and want to use this program as a standalone program for those, it can be but not with more complex ideas and visuals.”
- “There are a lot more minor issues I have, (some loading glitches, the custom posing could be a little bit more intuitive) but if you just need something to make simple visuals to your story or wish to use this program as a base and do edits in another program, this is good and even great for that.”

The story aspect of the software is praised for its ease of use, allowing users to quickly create and layout their narratives, particularly for manga. Reviewers appreciate the ability to focus on storytelling rather than intricate character design, although some note limitations in available assets and minor functionality issues. Overall, it is recommended for those looking to develop simple stories or storyboards efficiently.
- “In my testing, I finished an original page in about 10-15 minutes, and even used the graphic elements to suggest parts of the story (there's an indoor scene with a mirror, so I added an effect and made it a magic mirror).”
- “Kumakuma Manga Editor is a manga creation tool. I highly recommend this amazing program for creating your cell shading 3D tech mangas. It's always nice, even for artists like myself, to have tools to create our stories in a faster way. Making drawings is fun and all, but using this program you can focus on the story and make your mangas faster. It's really easy to use the program; I for example skipped the tutorial and it just works. Click here, click there, your character is done. This has everything you need to make a manga; I couldn't be happier with the purchase.”
- “It has some basic functionality that if you intend to make a simple manga or story, this can do that.”
- “There are a lot more minor issues I have, (some loading glitches, the custom posing could be a little bit more intuitive) but if you just need something to make simple visuals to your story or wish to use this program as a base and do edits in another programs, this is good and even great for that.”
- “If you don't want to bother with characters and the art and all that, and just want to create or lay out a story, you can definitely do that with this.”

Users report significant stability issues, including frequent freezing, glitches when using multiple objects, and persistent blank screens despite troubleshooting efforts. While some appreciate the software's potential for simple visuals, the overall experience is marred by these bugs, leading to frustration and accessibility problems. Despite these challenges, some users remain hopeful for future improvements and features from the developers.
- “Overall, I can say the software is bug-free, which is the main reason I like it a lot. The developers are not making excuses for bugs (early access thing). I hope to see a lot of new features. Of course, the developers can also increase the price of the software if they add any features I mentioned above, and I would love to purchase it at a higher cost if I get all the desired features. I believe everyone wants the same. Thank you.”
- “All I get is a white blank page, and I have also done everything that troubleshooting said to do. It's not going to get better from that blank white window.”
- “There's a very frustrating glitch happening. Always when I use scenes with two objects (or characters) together, like a warrior holding a sword, when I switch to another panel and return to this panel, they lose the pose. I have to pose again, and sometimes the panel freezes forever. When I click on the panel, a loading bar appears and freezes the software, making the panel inaccessible forever (even when I close and return).”
- “Extremely buggy though; loading often freezes the computer.”
