Advantages of Forming a Partnership
In addition to our own brand, we also offer authors to write manga upon request from electronic bookstores and publishers.
As a business partner, we will act in place of a manager for authors.
1.An Environment Where You Can Demonstrate Your Potential as a Manga Author
Our company handles a wide variety of production projects, and especially our manga titles are distributed to almost all existing e-book sites within Japan.
In addition, we often make offers to manga authors who do not have any experience being published.
Many authors are worried when it comes to their first published work, but at our company, we have a production system in place to support them. Therefore, we are able to provide an environment where authors can work within a reasonable range without overwhelming themselves.
2.Collaboration With Major Manga Sites
There are a wide variety of manga sites where titles can be distributed to, but we can promote authors’ work on a large scale through our affiliated manga sites.
