With a Help of AI This Artist Creates Mindblowing Vintage Manga-Style Artworks
Manga and AI-generated content go along like chalk and cheese. Mangaka fans’ dislike of AI makes the two worlds seem so different. This new technology is sometimes criticized for stealing from legends like Katsuhiro Otomo and Masamune Shirow. Bepop Genesis proves this is not true for most.

Bepop Genesis is an AI creator who creates compelling set pieces triggered by him, created by Niji/Midjourney and DALLE, and enhanced in post-edit. Various genres and specialties are on display. Fantasy favorites collide with dystopian world-building and cute beach girls. While there are apparent references to big names, this illustration stays true to its source.
This doesn’t mean these great IPs inspire. These new AI designers are inspired by anime like Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and Berserk. However, new age artists blend flavors to create new ones rather than copying and pasting.
Bepop Genesis playsfully fuses fan fusions with legendary characters like Sailor Moon to give us full fan-service dream. These resemble a multiverse while respecting the original.
Other content showcases AI’s potential with vibrant and detailed creations. Beautiful coloring and adaptable character design are much better when the world seaming is integrated into manga. Bepop Genesis is a pro, and we want more.
