DGM again! But in B&W this time :D I finally got around to playing with MangaStudio, and have come to the conclusion that I am going to marry the brush and G-pen tools and we are going to have lovely, smoothly rendered babies.

MS saves your work as 'projects' meaning that if you're doing a multipage work, you can keep adding pages to the one document, rather than having to create a new document for each page. You can also do side-by-side comparisons of your pages to check for overall flow, etc. When you're working, you can either open a blank document and start from scratch, or you can import a scan of a rough sketch and establish it as a 'sketch layer' to trace over. There are some really great ruler tools as well, some for just regular straight line/parallel line work, some for doing panels, some for doing perspective work. Also, all your work in MS is resizeable without loss of resolution, which is awesome if you realize that you need to change your page dimensions.
I went with MangaStudio EX, since that's the full package with more tones than the first version of MS. If you decide to go for it, I recommend buying from The Academic Superstore, since you can get it cheaper there than from the official company website or the more popular commercial sites. The EX version is still around $100, while the Debut version is only around $30, but you do get more bells and whistles to play with.
Hope this helps!
Oh, btw, I linked you to the Windows version of MangaStudio EX, but you can also get the Mac version as well as MangaStudio Debut from that site :3
