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 while it is effective for basic projects, it lacks the depth and intuitiveness needed for more complex game development, with some minor issues like loading glitches and less intuitive custom posing. Overall, it serves well for basic artwork but may not meet the needs of those seeking to create more intricate designs or fully developed games.
“Fun art style”
“Character graphics are great”
“For now, the software is perfect for creating artworks, but I think it's not yet competent to make a fully blown simple doujin.”
“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 flexibility, allowing users to create and layout narratives quickly, particularly for manga and storyboarding. Reviewers appreciate the ease of use and the ability to focus on storytelling rather than intricate character design, although some note minor issues with asset management and posing. Overall, it is recommended for those looking to streamline their creative process in visual storytelling.
“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.”
“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 for artists like myself to have tools to create our stories in a faster way. Making drawings is fun, but using this program allows you to focus on the story and make your mangas faster. It's really easy to use; I skipped the tutorial and it just works. This has everything you need to make a manga, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.”
“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 for 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.”
“It has some basic functionality that if you intend to make a simple manga or story, this can do that.”

“Ok, I am working on a manga in Unreal Engine, but I tried this app for concept art. This is amazing; a lot of things to do, poses are keen. It is the best software for anyone who has a strong story or who wants to make their own manga. The only thing lacking in this software is the low amount of assets.”

Users report significant stability issues, including frequent glitches, freezing panels, and loading problems that hinder usability. While some appreciate the software's potential and express hope for future improvements, the overall experience is marred by these persistent bugs, particularly when working with multiple objects or characters. Despite these challenges, a few users find it suitable for simple visual tasks, indicating a mixed reception regarding stability.
“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.”
“The stability of the game is impressive; I haven't encountered any crashes or major bugs during my playtime. It really enhances the overall experience.”
“I appreciate how stable the game runs. It allows me to fully immerse myself without worrying about technical issues.”
“All I get is a white blank page, and I have also done everything that troubleshooting suggested, but it's not going to get better from that blank white window.”
“There's a very frustrating glitch happening. Whenever I use scenes with two objects (or characters) together, like a warrior holding a sword, when I switch to another panel and return, they lose their pose. I have to pose them 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; loading often freezes the computer.”
