<h1 id="shouji-ink">Shouji Ink</h1>Style LoRA for Krea 2 Manga / anime illustration × urban alt fashion × pop-art lightingBase model: Krea 2 (train on RAW, run on Turbo) Type: Style Suggested strength: 0.7–1.1 (start at 0.85)<hr /><h2 id="what-it-is">What it is</h2>Shouji Ink is a style LoRA that pulls images toward a manga / anime illustration look without flattening them into generic cel-shade. It is built around urban and alt fashion — harnesses, patent leather, buckles, chains, tactical cuts, tattoos, glossy materials — and a pop-art sense of contrast: hard sunlight, graphic shadows, poster-flat walls, ink-black blacks.It is prompt-sensitive. Weak prompts give a mild anime wash. Specific fashion, lighting, and material language is where it locks in.<h2 id="what-it-actually-does">What it actually does</h2><ul><li>Photo → anime: on photographic / semi-real bases it adds anime softness to faces (cleaner planes, slightly larger eyes, ink-line brows and lashes) while keeping skin and body grounded. Result is semi-real anime, not doll-plastic and not raw photo.</li><li>Anime → richer illustration: on already-illustrated images it adds cinematic lighting, more believable environments, and material weight (patent shine, fabric pleats, metal hardware) so the frame stops looking flat.</li><li>Fashion bias: urban, street, punk, goth-tactical, clubwear, harness-and-skirt silhouettes. Floral irezumi-style tattoos and black accessories show up easily when prompted.</li><li>Lighting bias: single hard key light, long cast shadows on plaster or concrete, high contrast, slight film-still / fashion-editorial framing.</li></ul>It will not invent a character for you. Describe the person. It styles them.<hr /><h2 id="recommended-settings-(krea-2)">Recommended settings (Krea 2)</h2>Setting Start hereCheckpoint Krea 2 Turbo (LoRA trained on RAW)LoRA strength 0.85Steps8 on Turbo (or your usual Krea 2 recipe)Guidance follow your Krea 2 / Turbo defaultResolution 1024+ on the short sideStrength notes<ul><li>0.55–0.75 — soft anime face + lighting, keep more of the base model’s realism</li><li>0.8–1.0 — full Shouji look (fashion, ink shadows, glossy blacks)</li><li>&gt;1.1 — can overcook contrast, over-smooth faces, or glue the “black harness + katana” silhouette onto unrelated prompts</li></ul><h2 id="no-lora:"> No Lora:</h2><img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/1865021b-41da-45de-8058-884bab986e8a/original=true/1865021b-41da-45de-8058-884bab986e8a.jpeg" /><h2 id="with-lora:"> With Lora:</h2><img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/fcf8b95d-e129-4f6b-a58e-e59abf5d78df/original=true/fcf8b95d-e129-4f6b-a58e-e59abf5d78df.jpeg" />
