KOMA Studio Features

The KOMA Studio Feature Stack, Mapped for Production Teams

AI translation, cleanup, lettering, redraw, chapter organization, and QA all sit inside one desktop-native workflow instead of being spread across five different products.

Here is the full KOMA feature set in one place: translation, cleanup, lettering, redraw, raw management, and QA. It is written for teams comparing real workflow depth, not one isolated feature.

In Short

What are the core KOMA Studio features?

KOMA combines translation, cleanup, lettering, redraw support, raw organization, and QA in one desktop workspace for manga, manhwa, and comic production.

  • Translation stays connected to the page
  • Cleanup and redraw are part of the same flow
  • Raw management and QA live in the same app

Translation and context retention

KOMA is designed for manga and comic page structure, so translation happens with balloon and panel context still visible. That makes editorial review faster and reduces downstream revisions.

  • Context-aware translation workflows
  • Glossary and terminology continuity
  • Batch translation support for chapter throughput

Cleanup, redraw, and lettering in the same workspace

Page cleanup is not treated as an isolated action. Redraw and lettering decisions stay in the same environment, so teams do not need to recreate visual context every time the chapter moves to a new stage.

  • Smart cleaning and text removal
  • Redraw support tied to the real page state
  • Lettering decisions that stay adjacent to QA

Raw management and release control

Beyond page edits, KOMA supports the operational side of scanlation: keeping raw pages organized, moving teams through QA, and preparing for release without building a custom process around general-purpose tools.
