# Manga Style

Value-first. Screentone feel. Panel staging. Distinct from full-color anime.

## Tenets
1. Design in grayscale values first
2. Screentone / hatch textures sparingly
3. Speed lines and emphasis FX
4. Expressive faces / eyes per demographic
5. Black-heavy compositions OK

## Vs anime-style
Anime = color cel; Manga = print value language (can still be 3D color with manga staging).
