Manga2Animate: An Agentic Framework for Faithful Manga Animation with Script and Storyboard Planning

Key points

• Adapting existing manga into coherent animation that stays faithful to the source is a valuable yet challenging task.1
• Existing methods either access the manga mainly through text, losing its characters and art style, or feed manga pages directly into video generation models, which misinterpret the manga's structure and produce incorrect storylines.1
• We tailor representation-specific selection and dual-level feedback to progressively refine both before synthesizing the final animation.1
• Extensive experiments and a user study demonstrate that Manga2Animate produces animations more faithful to the source manga and more consistent across shots than state-of-the-art approaches.1
