CATACI Services · Manga Production
Manga production for one-shots, books and ongoing series.
CATACI develops and produces custom manga for publishers, brands, agencies and organizations worldwide—from early concepts and scripts through visual development, production management and finished files.
A Studio-Led Approach
One point of contact from story development to final delivery.
Longer manga projects need more than strong drawing. They need story structure, consistent visual direction, reliable scheduling and a production system that can continue across many pages, episodes or releases.
CATACI builds that structure around each brief. We assemble and coordinate the right Japanese creators and specialists, direct the work, manage reviews and remain responsible for the project as a complete studio production.
Development
Concepts, treatments, scripts, characters, worlds and format planning.
Creative Direction
Artist selection, visual development, storyboards and art direction shaped around the brief.
Production
Artwork, lettering, page layout, revisions, quality control and final file preparation.
Visual Direction
Different genres and styles, shaped around each story.
The right visual direction depends on the audience, tone, format and publishing context. CATACI can propose suitable creators and build a production team around the selected approach.
