2.0 out of 5 stars Consider Carefully: Do you want a toy or a powerful tool?, September 27, 2009

By	Fujiarmu - See all my reviews

If you want a toy, then get this version, but if you'd like a really great tool for drawing manga, then get the EX version. The EX version may be much more expensive, but if you're a serious artist, then you might as well throw away your money if you're going to buy this version. To give you an example of how many features that this version is missing: it doesn't have vectoring, an eyedropper tool, or even a gradiation tool! Check the website's manual for a list of features it doesn't have.

Skip this version, buy the EX version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Little Tool, March 28, 2009

By	A. Elliott - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I have been working on my own story for the past five years, and until now, I haven't done much of it on the computer. After receiving this program, that has all changed.

Manga Studio 4 has so many features. It has tons of tones to make your background either look like a starry sky, a crowd of people or a building. The program is very powerful. It makes working on your own story so much easier. I'm really glad that I got this program!
