CLIP STUDIO PAINT is being positioned by Celsys for both professional studio pipelines and experimental space-based drawing. It now integrates with the CIERTO production management system, and Celsys provided technical support for a manga drawing demonstration aboard the ISS.
Celsys has been pushing CLIP STUDIO PAINT further into professional and experimental territory. In July 2026, the company announced that the illustration and manga creation app now integrates with CIERTO, a content production management system used by TMS Entertainment and other studios. The integration is meant to expand CLIP STUDIO PAINT's use in commercial manga and anime production workflows, and to promote both products among animation studios and publishers.
A month later, Celsys released footage of manga being drawn in space as part of Kodansha's Mission: SPACE COMIC project. The demonstration used the Kibo module's robotic arm on the International Space Station. Celsys provided technical support through CLIP STUDIO PAINT, which served as the drawing tool in the demonstration.
Together, the two announcements show CLIP STUDIO PAINT being positioned both as a backend-compatible tool for established studios and as a tool capable of operating in extreme conditions. The space footage is the first visual proof of Kodansha's project, and it directly ties CLIP STUDIO PAINT to that effort.
