📗 Egaki-sho: Let’s Create! — The Creation Process
- Digital1,350 JPY




Price: ¥1,350 (about $8.99 USD, depending on exchange rates) This ZINE brings together the core ideas behind creating a long-form work with generative AI. It is the first volume in a creative process developed alongside AI, where human decisions and generative tools work together over time to build a complete work. 💡 “Not a picture book, not a manga, but a new form of expression.” That idea became the starting point for the format called Egaki-sho. 🗨️ Rather than presenting a single “correct” method, this ZINE documents an actual creative process.
✨ Recommended for
- People who want to start creating with generative AI - People interested in collaborative workflows between humans and AI - People who want to continue long-form projects without giving up halfway - People looking for ways to use Stable Diffusion in creative work - People who want to read a real record of trial and error rather than a technical handbook
🌱 What this book covers
Based on the workflow presented in the book, this volume explores the thinking behind each step of production.
🔍 Discovering the Egaki-sho format
By intentionally leaving room to adjust page count and structure, this approach creates a framework that helps long-form production continue without falling apart midway. 💡 By assuming from the beginning that page count and modes of expression could be adjusted during production, it became possible to keep moving forward without breaking the overall structure.
🤝 Defining roles between human and AI
This volume uses multiple AI tools—including ChatGPT, Copilot, and Stable Diffusion—to examine what should be entrusted to AI and what should remain in human hands.
📊 Visualizing the production flow
From early drafts to publication preparation, you can trace how decisions changed over time through actual production materials.
🗺️ Worldbuilding and background generation
Using memories from MMO spaces as clues, the structure of the world was designed and then developed through a background workflow of: image boards → concept art → watercolor-style refinement
🧩 The turning point: building reusable character assets
Rather than simply generating finished illustrations, the process was broken down into: pose material → base image → coloring → compositing This made it possible to achieve the consistency needed for long-form production.
📖 What you will gain from this volume
- A structural way of thinking for continuing long-form creative work - A production process designed around the natural instability of generative AI - Methods for unifying worldbuilding, backgrounds, and characters - A sequence of real decisions that can only be learned from actual production logs This is the first volume in the Egaki-sho: Let’s Create! ZINE series.
