The app manga comic camera by Keylife, Inc. is a fun way to turn your ordinary photos into comics with sound effects, light effects, and more.

You get 32 different filters and 12 kinds of lettering and sound effects, which means an almost endless number of combinations and variations. Instead of going through a crazy process of how to learn to use Photoshop to make these changes, you can use this free app to do it quickly and easily.

When you launch the app, you will choose to either use a photo from your Camera Roll or to take one from within the app. Next, choose a filter. For step three, select your background effect. Next, you can adjust the lighting. The final editing step involves you choosing text and/or sound effects. When you’re happy with the end result, you can save it and share via email, Twitter, or Facebook.

You can turn any image into a manga comic. You could even take a series of photos and make your own manga comic book, if you have the inclination. This would be a great app for budding comic artists or just people who enjoy editing photos in unusual ways.

The app was released mid-November 2012 and is available in English and Japanese. It does not yet have enough customer ratings for iTunes to display an average. There are no feedback comments as yet.

I like this app because it gives you a fresh way to edit photos. I think that inanimate objects or pets work best with this, but this app has a lot of potential.
