The TAB Manga is a new software in the TAB family designed to create mangas and animations from start to finish.
It is possible to draw characters and backgrounds, and use them in mangas and animations. Manga pages can be composed by defining panels containing drawings and text balloons, and arranging them the way you prefer. Animations can be done by creating drawing sequences and setting key positions to move automatically elements around.

In the Manga Room you can create manga pages by adding panels where your drawings can be placed, and balloons where you can type text in your preferred font and format. Panels and balloons can be moved and resized; manga pages can be added and reordered.
