When you first start creating comics or manga in Toocheke, you might notice there are two main types of post options: Comic Posts and Manga Posts.
If you’re unsure which one to use, don’t worry — this guide will help you understand the differences and choose the best option for your project.
🎨 1. Comic Posts
Comic Posts are perfect if you publish:
- A traditional webcomic or comic strip (like newspaper-style comics)
- A long-form comic that you update one page at a time
Each comic post represents a single page or update, which makes it easy for readers to follow your story chronologically.
📁 Main Menu Options
You can manage all your comic posts from the WordPress dashboard under the Toocheke menu:
- Toocheke → All Comics / Add New Comic – view or create comic posts
- Toocheke → Comics Hub – access additional tools for organizing your comic world:
- Comic Collections – group comics by storyline or theme
- Comic Chapters – organize long stories into separate chapters
- Comic Tags – tag related comics for easier discovery
- Comic Locations – tag scenes by their setting or location
- Comic Characters – tag posts by the characters appearing in them
These features make it easy to structure your story universe and help readers explore related content.
📚 Managing Comic Series
If you’re hosting multiple comic series on your site, Toocheke also includes Series management options:
- Toocheke → All Series / Add New Series – create and manage different comic series
- Series Hub – includes:
- Series Genres – categorize your series by genre (e.g., Fantasy, Drama)
- Series Tags – group similar series under shared themes
Each series automatically gets its own landing page and navigation system, so readers can browse pages within that series.

📖 2. Manga Posts
Manga Posts are best for creators who publish comics in a serialized format — similar to how manga or comic books are released.
Use Manga Posts if your work is organized like this:
- Series → Volume → Chapter
This format works perfectly for:
- Manga
- American-style comic books
- Graphic novel series
Each post typically includes multiple pages in a print-style reader layout, letting your audience swipe or click through full chapters or issues.
📁 Main Menu Options
You can manage your manga structure from the WordPress dashboard under Toocheke → Manga Hub:
- All / Add New Manga Series – manage manga series titles
- All / Add New Manga Volume – organize volumes within a series
- All / Add New Manga Chapter – publish chapters under each volume
- Manga Hub – also includes:
- Publisher and Genre options to help categorize your manga series.

💡 Choosing the Right Option
The best choice depends on your comic’s style, update frequency, and reader experience goals:
| Your Publishing Style | Best Post Type |
|---|---|
| One page per update (webcomic-style) | Comic Posts |
| Multiple pages per update (manga/book-style) | Manga Posts |
If your updates include full chapters or multiple pages, Manga Posts will likely be the better fit — they provide a smoother, book-like reading experience.
🚀 Final Thoughts
Toocheke gives you the flexibility to structure your comics however you like — whether it’s one page per update or full chapters per release.
Start by experimenting with both post types to see which workflow feels best for you and your readers.
