Readers won't open chapter one
Post a comic of your best scene or a 30-second trailer, so people feel the story before they read a word. The promo kit makes the share images and post copy too.
For novelists & web fiction writers
Turn your story into a comic and a book trailer
Posting chapters on Royal Road or Wattpad isn't enough to get that first click. With BunCho you can turn your best scene into a comic for social media, build a storyboard from a chapter and make a 30-second book trailer, and keep writing with an AI that never edits your manuscript behind your back.

Writers: common problems and how BunCho solves them
Long series drift: voices and lore get inconsistent
Character sheets, world notes and writing rules for each work go into every AI request. For changes across many chapters, the agent proposes a plan and you accept it section by section.
Waiting for someone to adapt your book
Make your own comic or webtoon version and see how readers react first. The same character sheet carries their look into comics and video.
What writers make from their stories
Real samples made in the studio (our team made them in Japanese — you work in your own language). Start from the same template with one click.

Writers: why BunCho
The AI never rewrites behind your back
Tab completion, inline edit (⌘K / Ctrl+K) and the agent all show a diff first. Nothing changes until you accept, and a checkpoint is saved before each run.
Export for the sites you post on
Copy-ready formats for Royal Road, AO3 and Wattpad, plus EPUB, DOCX and TXT.
One story, every format
The look you set on a character sheet carries into comic panels and video cuts.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I turn my story into a comic if I can't draw?
- Yes. Pick a chapter or scene and the studio handles the panel plan, the art and the speech balloons. Redraw only the panels you don't like.
- Is there an AI to turn a novel into manga for free?
- New subscribers get a 7-day free trial with trial credits, so you can make your first comic without paying. After that, comics are part of the paid plans.
- Can I post the comic or trailer on Royal Road, Wattpad or social media?
- What you make from your own story is yours to use for promoting it. Each site has its own rules on AI-assisted work, and they change, so check the latest guidelines before posting.
- How many credits does a book trailer use?
- It depends on length and the quality you choose per cut. Widescreen video on our own GPUs uses 0 credits on Feast, Full Course and Team up to the fair-use limit (120 seconds a day). You always see an estimate first.
- Can I write the novel itself here too?
- Yes. Write in chapters and sections, brainstorm with the AI, rewrite a selection with ⌘K / Ctrl+K, and use the agent for changes across chapters.
