A $9.5M Series D for an AI animation tool suggests the manga/drama export market is consolidating around tooling rather than content—Chinese studios are betting on efficiency gains to compete globally. If you're building for creators (video, games, design), watch how Laihua monetizes: per-project licensing, subscription tiers, or API access will signal which creator workflows are actually bottlenecked enough to pay.
