Start with a story they will recognize

For a true story, choose a Memory Book and share the moments you want to keep: how you met, a favorite trip, or an ordinary day that meant a lot. For an invented adventure, choose a Fiction Book and describe the mission, the people, and the world.

Choose Comic or Manga for panels and speech bubbles, then pick the drawing style separately. Tell us whether the story should feel funny, tender, or adventurous, and add a dedication in your own words.

  • A photo for each main person
  • Real memories or an imagined adventure
  • A personal message with the gift
