Manga Text Overlay

### Manga Text & Sound Effect Overlay LoRA (Pony V6) - Beta / Experimental Version

This LoRA is designed to overlay manga text, speech bubbles, and sound effects (onomatopoeia) directly onto generated images.

> ⚠️ Important Notice (Work in Progress / Beta Version)

> Sorry in advance! This model is still experimental and under active development.

> Due to the inherent difficulty of rendering exact Japanese characters and clean glyphs in Diffusion models, the text may sometimes appear distorted, scrambled, or incomplete.

> We appreciate your understanding and feedback as we continue to refine this concept!

### Tips for Best Results & Workarounds

* Character Scrambling: AI models struggle with rendering perfect character glyphs. If the generated text is too distorted, try lowering the LoRA weight 0.4 ~ 0.5).

* i2i Touch-up: For clean results, it is recommended to pass the generated image through img2img with a low Denoising Strength 0.25 ~ 0.35), or manually paste clean text using external software and run a light i2i pass.
