Where is the entry for MangaStudio 5?
At rev 5, this gets to be a serious application that can be recommended. I’m not going to rate 5 in the 4x entry.
I came into 4 with high hopes, but cynicism.
I couldn’t recommend version 4, though I bought it. Unless you score it at a hefty discount, it just isn’t cutting edge in 2013: At the right discount price point, its still worth a buy.
However, version 5 is a PLAYER. What you get at the entry level is very good. 5 EX I have not tried, but the increased feature set there sounds like its a true professional tool.
You can do much of this in Photoshop, but MangaStudio is now becoming a benchmark application at a better price.
In 5, they changed muddled menu names - into a better translated function names, revamped the structure a little & in 5.03 the vector conversions make this quite nice.
I have to correct my comment about not being qualified for updates. At current writing, MS 5 is at 5.03 & the upgrades from 5.0 have been free.

Manga Studio is by far the best application for digital inking, far superior to Photoshop or Corel Painter. It is most suitable for drawing with a Wacom and the closest thing to draw on a sheet of paper. It's almost perfect.
Worth its price.
