About

Serialized fiction, made by machines, and said so.

Every chapter here — the words, the panels, the voice, the video — is generated by AI models. That is the most important thing to know about what you are reading, so it is the first thing on this page.

Two editions of the same chapter

A chapter is written once and published twice. Manga is the drawn edition: panels with the narration and dialogue lettered into the art. Novel is the same chapter as prose, with the scene direction kept in as staging, so the setting moves between the lines. You can switch mid-chapter, and the choice is remembered.

Chapters are drawn some time after they are written, so a chapter you reach may not have art yet. When that happens the reader gives you the prose and tells you why, instead of showing you an empty page.

Some chapters are narrated

Where a chapter has been through the whole pipeline there is a narrated video built from its own panels — vertical, watchable in one sitting, in the Watch tab on the story. It is not a separate audiobook. It is the chapter, read aloud over the art it already has.

Shared worlds

Many series stand in the same universe and refer to each other's events. The catalogue surfaces those groups, so finishing one story leads into the next rather than into a dead end.

What Sagapic is not

You can rate and comment on a story, or on a single chapter once you have finished it, and you can like a story. That is the whole of it: there are no followers and no feed, comments carry a handle rather than your name, and nothing you read is announced to anyone. There is no chatbot, and nothing is generated in response to what you type — the catalogue is produced in advance and published as fixed chapters.

Ratings

Every story carries a rating, and the catalogue stays at Teen until you raise it in the control at the top of the page. Mature and adult stories are hidden until you ask for them.

What we do

How a chapter gets made.

Six steps, in plain language. Artwork, narration and video are AI-generated at every one of them, and we disclose it rather than let you find out.

1. The outline

   A person writes the premise, the world, the cast and the arc — where the story starts, what it is about, and how it ends.

2. The chapter

   A language model writes the chapter from that outline: narration, dialogue, and the scene direction describing what each panel shows. The scene direction is not thrown away — it becomes the staging you read in the novel edition.

3. The panels

   An image model, Stable Diffusion XL, draws each panel from its scene direction. A small model is trained per story for the recurring characters, which is what keeps a face the same face from chapter to chapter.

4. The lettering

   Narration and dialogue are drawn into the panel, so the drawn edition reads as a page rather than as a picture with a caption underneath it.

5. The narration and the motion

   A text-to-speech model, Kokoro, reads the chapter aloud. The panels are given camera movement and cut against that narration into a vertical video.

6. The check

   Panels are scored automatically for what generators get wrong — the wrong face, mangled hands, lettering that came out as nonsense — and a person reviews the chapter before it is published.

Chapters change

The pipeline keeps improving, and chapters are re-rendered when it does. Artwork you saw last month may have been redrawn since. The words stay; the pictures get better.

The disclosure

The same statement is published in machine-readable form at /api/ai-disclosure, so a store reviewer, a regulator or a model can read it without taking our word for it from a page like this one. No real person is depicted, voiced or impersonated in anything we publish.

Pricing

Read fifteen chapters of anything. Subscribe for the rest.

Free

The first fifteen chapters of every story, in both editions, with no account and no card. They do not expire.

Subscription

Every chapter of every story, both editions, and the narrated video where a chapter has one. Your place in each story follows you to any device you sign in on.

Price not set yet. Owner: put the amount, the currency and the billing period here before launch. This page names no figure on purpose.

Cancelling

You can cancel at any time, through whichever store or payment provider you paid with. Cancelling ends the subscription. The free chapters stay free, and they stay free without an account.

Owning one story

Paying once for a single series is built into the account system and is not on sale yet. When it is, a story you own outright stays yours through a lapsed subscription — a purchase is not a rental. We would rather say that plainly now than sell you something and take it back later.

Refunds

Payment is taken by the app store or payment provider you checked out with, and refunds are theirs to issue. Write to us first if something went wrong; we will find out what happened and point you at the right place.

Contact

Write to a person.

There is no ticket system and no bot on the other end. Mail reaches the people who build this.

What to write about

• A chapter that will not load, art that is missing, a video that will not play.
• A billing question, or a charge you do not recognise.
• Deleting your account and everything attached to it.
• Content you believe should not be published, or that infringes your rights.
• A story you want to see, or one you think is going wrong.

When something is broken, name the story and the chapter number. It is the fastest way for us to see what you saw.

Privacy

What Sagapic stores, and what it does not.

Draft, for review. This page was written from what the software actually does, not from a template. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer and it is not legal advice.

If you never sign in

You can read the free chapters without an account. We set no cookies. Our access log records the method, path, status, duration and a trace id for each request — not your IP address and not your browser's user agent.

Your own browser keeps four values and nothing else: your sign-in token, your chosen edition, your content rating, and whether videos play continuously. Clearing this site's data removes all four and signs you out.

If you make an account

An account is an email address and a password. The password itself is never stored — what is stored is an argon2id hash of it, salted per account. We ask for nothing else: no name, no phone number, no date of birth.

What is stored as you read

Reading progress

The highest chapter you have reached in each story, so you can continue on another device. It only ever moves forward.

Subscription state

Whether a subscription is active, which plan, and when the paid period ends. Card details never reach us; the payment provider holds those.

Purchases

Which stories you own outright, with the provider and its order id, so a refund can be traced and a repeated webhook cannot charge you twice.

Credits

A balance and an append-only ledger of every movement, if you ever hold credits.

Your shelf

The stories you follow, and which chapters you have downloaded to a device. The download record is what lets offline access be withdrawn when a subscription lapses.

Preferences

An opaque blob of client settings — edition, text size, autoplay, language. Nothing on the server reads it.

If you report content or block someone

A report stores who filed it, what it points at, the reason you chose, your note if you wrote one, and how it was resolved. A block stores who blocked whom. A report disclosing self-harm is escalated ahead of the queue, and the note itself is never copied into our analytics.

What we measure

Product events, from a fixed list declared in the code — a name that is not on that list is rejected rather than stored. They carry your account id when you are signed in, and no id when you are not. What they record:

• the app opening, the catalogue being viewed, a story being opened;
• a chapter opened, completed or abandoned, and which edition you were shown;
• your search terms, and how many results came back;
• the paywall shown and dismissed; checkout started, completed or failed;
• an account created, signed in or deleted; content reported; a user blocked.

Each event is timestamped and carries the trace id of the request that produced it, which is how a number in a chart can be traced back to a real request. Events are not sold, and no advertising script runs on this site — the content-security policy does not permit one to load.

Google Analytics runs on this site. The page loads gtag.js from Google and sends it the same product events described above — pages viewed, a story opened, a chapter opened and how far through it you read. Google therefore sees your IP address and sets its own identifiers. It is the only third-party script the content-security policy permits, and it receives no email address, no payment detail and nothing you write in a report.

Who else sees anything

• Google Analytics, as described above.
• Typefaces: nobody. The fonts used to be loaded from Google, which meant your browser contacted Google on every page and Google saw your IP address. They are now served from this site, so that request no longer happens and the font hosts are not permitted by the content-security policy at all.
• Payment providers. Whoever takes your money sees what they need to take it, under their own privacy policy.

Deleting everything

Deleting an account erases the record and cascades to every subsystem holding data against it. It is not a flag left on a row. It requires your password even though you are already signed in, so a borrowed phone cannot end an account. The web reader does not yet have a button for it — write to us and we will run it.

Children

The catalogue stays at Teen until you raise the rating yourself, and adult-rated stories are left out of the sitemap entirely. Sagapic is not directed at children, and accounts are not intended for anyone under 13.

Changes and questions

A material change will be dated at the top of this page. Questions go to the address on the contact page.

Terms

The terms of using Sagapic.

Draft, for review. Written from what the product actually does. Not reviewed by a lawyer, and not legal advice.

What you are reading

Everything published on Sagapic is fiction, and every part of it — text, artwork, voice and video — is generated by AI models. No real person is depicted, voiced or impersonated. Resemblance to any real person, place or event is neither intended nor to be inferred.

Chapters are re-rendered as the pipeline improves. Artwork you saw last month may have been redrawn, and a chapter may be corrected or withdrawn.

Your account

An account is for one person. Keep the password to yourself; anything done through your account is treated as done by you. Tell us if you think someone else has it.

What you may do

Read, on any device you sign in on. Quote a short passage with attribution to Sagapic and a link to the story.

What you may not do

• Copy, republish, sell or distribute chapters, panels, covers, narration or video.
• Download the catalogue in bulk, scrape it, or use it as training data for a model.
• Work around the paywall, share paid access, or use an account you did not create.
• Use the service to harass anyone, or to break the law where you are.

Money

The first fifteen chapters of every story are free and stay free. A subscription unlocks the rest for as long as it is active. Payment is taken by an app store or a payment provider under their own terms, and refunds are issued by them.

Ratings are guidance

Story ratings are ours. They are not a classification issued by any board. Set the ceiling you want in the top bar; mature and adult stories stay hidden until you raise it.

Ending it

You can delete your account at any time, and everything attached to it goes with it. We may suspend an account being used to attack the service or to break these terms.

No warranty

Sagapic is provided as it is. We do not promise uninterrupted service, and we do not promise that every chapter is available in every edition — a chapter with no drawn panels is served as prose.

Governing law

Not set. Owner: name the jurisdiction whose law governs these terms and where a dispute would be heard.

Changes

A change will be dated at the top of this page. Continuing to read after one means you accept it. Questions go to the address on the contact page.
