While the U.S. bookstore scene may seem stagnant, that view reflects only the domestic market. Across the English-speaking world and beyond, there remains strong demand for reliable, well-structured, and hands-on AI learning resources. What makes this even more compelling is that leading VCs like **a16z’s Justine Moore** are directly experiencing how Japanese bookstores are filled with visually appealing and educational AI books—something that’s notably lacking in Western markets. In 2025, creative AI is no longer a niche field—it is a movement shaping how we teach, learn, and create globally. One of the most impactful platforms in this space is **ComfyUI**, a powerful node-based workflow system for image generation and AI art. To help both beginners and intermediate users navigate this open-source ecosystem, we authored the **ComfyUI Master Guide**, a structured and practical reference designed to empower the next generation of creators. [https://comfy.aicu.ai/](https://comfy.aicu.ai/) We are now seeking **publishers and translation partners** to bring this guide to readers around the world. ## **Proven Demand in Asia** Our previous publication, the **“[Stable Diffusion Start Guide](https://j.aicu.ai/SBXL)”**, sold over **16,000 copies in Japan alone**, and has since been translated and released in [Korean](http://j.aicu.ai/SBXLkr). The response from both individual creators and educational institutions has been overwhelmingly positive. ## **About the Book** The [*ComfyUI Master Guide*](https://j.aicu.ai/comfysb) is written by [Akihiko SHIRAI Ph.D.](https://akihiko.shirai.as/) and writers with deep experience in generative AI, open-source ecosystems, and creative technology education. The guide includes: - **Chapter 1: Fundamentals of Image Generation AI** - **Chapter 2: Understanding Stable Diffusion** - **Chapter 3: Setting Up ComfyUI and Your Environment** - **Chapter 4: Basic Operations and Image Generation with ComfyUI** - **Chapter 5: Using Custom Nodes and Installing Extensions** - **Chapter 6: Practical Techniques for img2img, Inpainting, and Outpainting** - **Chapter 7: Image Control with ControlNet and IPAdapter** - **Chapter 8: Applying Styles and Expanding Models with LoRA** - **Chapter 9: Generating Video with AnimateDiff** - **Chapter 10: Futuristic Applications of Image Generation AI** - **Ethics and Updates for 3D, Games and Video generation** - **Latest updates will be provided by [note.com/aicu](https://note.com/aicu) and [aicu.jp](https://aicu.jp).** Whether used in classrooms, hackathons, art schools, or self-study, this book provides a solid foundation for understanding and applying AI creatively. As highlighted by the cover tagline “No GPU Required,” the guide also introduces accessible solutions such as shared ComfyUI environments , Google Colab and GitHub code maintain, making it easy for anyone to get started. This approach has even caught the attention of the official ComfyUI team, who expressed surprise and interest in the accessibility of these offerings. > ComfyUI Master Guide > 「ComfyUI マスターガイド」 > > No GPU required...Nani?!
