Cheap paint software~!

Clip Studio Paint is a standard paint program for manga creation and illustration in Japan. They are currently having a sale at their site where you can buy the Paint Pro version for only US$15.00 until the 14th July. It probably sounds like an advertisement so far but the actual reason I’m making this post is because I got all excitable when I saw the cheap price tag and immediately purchased it, only to open it and realize it’s Manga Studio with a different name. I don’t mean it’s ‘like’ Manga Studio… If I have Manga studio open and try to open clip studio, it just directs me to my manga studio window. It seems the only difference is subtle layout and menu configurations. There may be some differences but I haven’t spotted any so far. I’ve been asked numerous times what software I use and I answer Manga Studio 5, which is US$47.99. So if you wanted to get Manga Studio but don’t want to pay that much, I think you should get Clip Studio for $15 while you can because it’s the same program. Anyway I thought you should know! and hope this is helpful.
