https://github.com/OValery16/Manga-colorization---cycle-gan?tab=readme-ov-file Very interesting, but I could not find weights in this repository.
The generic ones won't be good for manga. As for style reference ones or the hint based ones, I did try them when I initially made the project, but these are generally for manga artists, who can quickly colorize using a reference style or color hints and then add details to it after. Doing all this is too much of a hassle and most readers (incl me) would simply want a single click, easy to use colorize button, no extra work. As long as the colorizer doesn't change the colors of the character in each panel, it's satisfactory. And qweassd's MC-v2 does it unexpectedly well. Nonetheless, those are very interesting indeed!
Although, https://github.com/OValery16/Manga-colorization---cycle-gan?tab=readme-ov-file is pretty much the same as MC-v2, but I don't know where the models went.
