How to read a black-and-white manga in colour

When there is no colour edition

Plenty of series were only ever drawn in black and white, and a fan colouring, when one exists, may stop long before the chapter you are on. If you would rather read in colour than wait, Comic Fusion can colourise the chapter you have open, in the app, on the site you already read on.

Colourising is one of the AI tools, which run on credits. It works on the chapter page you have open, and if it finds nothing on the page it says so. It costs 2 credits per page. Credits are bought in the app in packs, there is no subscription, they never expire, and a page that fails is not charged. Reading itself is free.

Step by step

1. 1 Open the chapterRead it in Comic Fusion's browser on the site you normally use. The tool works on the chapter page you have open.
2. 2 Tap the sparkle buttonIt sits in the browser's bottom bar and opens the AI tools. The "AI TOOLS" drawer opens with its tools grouped under COMIC and AUDIO. Choose Colorise B&W.
3. 3 Pick the pagesThe tool tells you how many pages it found, then shows them as a grid. Tap ALL to take every page it found, NONE to clear, or tap pages one by one. If the count looks short, follow the note in the grid: "Missing pages? Scroll the chapter to the bottom to load them all".
4. 4 Check the count and runThe button reads "COLOURISE N PAGES", where N is the number you ticked. At 2 credits a page, 20 ticked pages cost about 40 credits.
5. 5 Read it in colourThe result lands in Library › Made, the tab for what the AI tools make for you.

What it costs, with numbers

Credit packs are 50 for $2.99, 110 for $4.99, 300 for $9.99, 600 for $19.99 and 1,900 for $49.99 in USD; the store shows your local price.

At 2 credits a page, a 40-page chapter costs about 80 credits. A very tall strip page is sent in parts and each part is priced as a page, so these figures are estimates. The 110 pack covers that chapter and leaves 30 credits, enough for 15 more pages. The 300 pack is 150 pages. Because credits never expire, a bigger pack bought once is fine to spend slowly over months.

If you also want the same chapter translated, that is a separate tool and a separate run at 0.25 credits per page: 10 credits for 40 pages, so about 90 credits across the two runs.

What to expect afterwards

The colour version lives in Library › Made. Made isn't a permanent archive.

Colourising is priced and run on its own; translating the speech bubbles is a separate tool at 0.25 credits per page.
