First of all:
1. I have Hungarian PS, so I will sub the settings if I can. If I cant sub, please check the positions of the options or something..^^' Sorry.
2. I was in rush because the YT's 10 min. limit. Sorry about that.^^'
3. In this tutorial I didnt pay attention to the Trim, Bleed settings. If you want to publish your manga, make sure to check out your publisher's guide about Paper sizes, Trim, Bleed, and Resolution settings (1200 DPI is the best).

Update #1
--------------------------------------------------
CuzzaCurry pointed out that you can use other tools for making the panel lines. Thanx for her.
( I forgot to mention ^^' )
Yes, you can use any tool you want.
-shape tools
-pen tools
------
or make a selection and than stroke it
-----
or make a selction than transform it to path and then stroke...
Well, anything you want...
If you want individual shape I recommend :
Pen tools or Polygonal lasso tool.
If it easier for you to use selection rather than paths please do that...
(However I dont recommend to fill a layer and in the layer style stroke the panel layer to achive panel lines. The corners will be round and anti-aliased! )
