ohmsha
Ohmsha Manga Guide style - educational manga with visual metaphors
Core Philosophy
Educational manga where every concept becomes a visual metaphor or action. NO talking heads - characters must DO things, not just explain.
Visual Style
Type: Manga-style educational comic
Orientation: Portrait (vertical), optimized for scrolling
Colors: Full color, bright and clean anime/manga aesthetic
Lines: Clean manga lines (1.5-2px), smooth curves, expressive
Character Design (Manga Style)
Anime/manga proportions: slightly larger eyes, expressive faces
Student character: Confused expressions, question marks (？), sweat drops, represents reader
Mentor character: Confident poses, explanatory gestures, produces gadgets/tools
Clear emotional indicators using manga conventions (！, ？, sweat drops, sparkles)
Consistent character designs across all panels
Background Treatment
Simplified backgrounds during dialogue/explanation
Detailed "imagination spaces" for concept visualization
Technical diagrams styled as holographic displays or magical blueprints
Screen tone effects for atmosphere
Visual Metaphor Requirements (CRITICAL)
Every technical concept MUST be visualized as:
Algorithm
Gadget/machine that demonstrates the process
Data structure
Physical space characters can enter/explore
Mathematical formula
Transformation visible in environment
Abstract process
Tangible flow of particles/objects
Wrong approach: Character points at blackboard explaining Right approach: Character uses "Concept Visualizer" gadget, steps into metaphorical space
Visual Metaphor Examples
Attention mechanism
Character points at formula on blackboard
"Attention Flashlight" gadget illuminates key words in dark room
Gradient descent
"The algorithm minimizes loss"
Character rides ball rolling down mountain valley
Neural network
Diagram with arrows
Living network of glowing creatures passing messages
Overfitting
"The model memorized the data"
Character wearing clothes that fit only one specific pose
Panel Layout for Ohmsha
Vertical scroll optimized (webtoon style)
Single column, panels stack vertically
Generous whitespace between major beats
Panels can bleed to edges for impact
"Float" elements between panels for emphasis
Special Visual Elements
Gadget reveals: Dramatic unveiling with sparkle effects
Concept spaces: Rounded borders, glowing edges for "imagination mode"
Information displays: Holographic UI style for technical details
Aha moments: Radial lines, light burst effects
Confusion: Spiral eyes, question marks floating above head
Text Elements (Ohmsha)
Hand-lettered manga style
Sound effects integrated visually (ドキドキ, ピカーン, etc.)
Speech bubbles: rounded for normal, spiky for excitement/shock
Thought bubbles for internal process visualization
Technical terms in bold with furigana-style annotations if needed
Color Palette
Primary: Bright blue (#4299E1), warm orange (#ED8936), soft green (#68D391)
Skin: Anime-style warm (#FEEBC8)
Background: Clean white, soft gradients
Gadgets: Metallic accents (#FFD700, #C0C0C0), vibrant highlights
Concept spaces: Pastel backgrounds, glowing accents

Character Setup (Required)
Define characters before generating:
Student (Role A)
大雄
Confused, asks basic but crucial questions, represents reader
Mentor (Role B)
哆啦A梦
Knowledgeable, patient, uses gadgets as technical metaphors
Antagonist (Role C, optional)
胖虎
Represents misunderstanding, or "noise" in the data
Best For
Technical tutorials, complex concepts (ML, physics, math), self-study material
