Manga Speech Bubble

This door adds a manga oval balloon to a panel you upload. The balloon style starts as manga oval, and the text starts as “Wait—” so you can see the tail and the size before you paste the real line. The picture underneath should stay the picture. This is lettering, not a redraw.

Replace the sample as soon as you know the line. Short lines fit an oval. A speech of three sentences belongs in two balloons or the oval grows over the face. The tail points at the speaker’s mouth, not at the center of the chest, and not off the panel. If two people talk, add a second balloon. Do not stack both lines in one oval with a slash. Manga reading order in a single panel is generally right to left and top to bottom. Place the first speaker higher and toward the right if that is the order you inked.

Do not ask the balloon to explain a plot the picture does not show. Do not leave the sample word in the export. “Wait—” is a placeholder, and readers will treat it as dialogue. Captions and shouts are other styles. This door is the spoken oval. Sound effects are the SFX door, which does not draw an oval at all. Webtoon round is the smoother vertical-scroll balloon.

Upload a panel with empty sky or wall where a balloon can sit. A balloon forced over a detailed face fails twice: you cannot read the face, and you cannot read the type. If the model redraws the character while painting the balloon, run again. The job is type on top of art. A clean pass keeps the same eyes and only adds the oval, the tail, and your words. Read the line out loud once. If it needs a second sentence, start a second oval instead of stretching this one over the eyes.
