Subsidy Guide

Japanese government subsidy
cuts your cost to 1/3.

Manga production qualifies as "PR expenses" or "outsourcing costs" under the Small Business Sustainability Subsidy. No special registration needed — just apply through your local Chamber of Commerce. Covers 2/3 of costs, up to ¥2.5 million.

Example: Story Starter ¥98,000 → effectively ¥33,000 / Brand Partner ¥198,000 → effectively ¥66,000
Brand Partner Pro ¥500K×3mo = ¥1.5M → with subsidy, effectively ¥500,000

FAQ

FAQ

Do I need any manga knowledge to get started?
Not at all. All you need is a story you want to tell. We handle everything — plot, characters, and world-building — through our consultation process.
What is the quality of AI-produced manga like?
We aim for a finish that doesn't look AI-generated. Our creative director personally refines every aspect — art style, panel layout, and dialogue. Samples are available upon request.
What if my vision changes during production?
We accommodate changes within the revision count included in your plan. Brand Partner and above includes up to 3 free revisions. For major direction changes, just reach out to discuss.
How much does manga production cost?
From ¥98,000 (Story Starter). Brand Partner with brand strategy is ¥198,000+. Brand Partner Pro for ongoing production is ¥500,000+/month (3-month min). Japanese government subsidies can reduce your effective cost to 1/3.
What's the difference between the plans?
Story Starter is a production service — ideal when you know what you want. Brand Partner is a strategic partnership where we co-design the messaging from scratch. Brand Partner Pro is a 3-month engagement with brand strategy, monthly production, and priority scheduling.
Can I use government subsidies for manga production?
Yes. Manga production qualifies as "PR expenses" or "outsourcing costs" under Japan's Small Business Sustainability Subsidy. We provide full application support, including tips to improve your approval rate.
How is international manga different from Japanese manga?
We adapt cultural context, reading direction (including RTL), and visual sensibilities for each market. It's not just translation — we redesign to resonate with local audiences.
Who owns the copyright of the finished manga?
Full copyright transfers to you upon delivery. You're free to use the manga commercially — websites, social media, print, exhibitions — at no additional cost.
What file formats are delivered?
Standard delivery includes high-resolution PNG/JPG (300dpi, print-ready) and PDF. Optional formats include EPUB (e-book), social media-optimized sizes, and vertical scroll format.
Is the quality of AI-made manga reliable?
AI is just one tool in our pipeline. Our creative director personally refines art style, composition, dialogue, and panel layout. Our hallmark is a finish that never looks AI-generated.
Can I just request an info packet first?
Absolutely. Start with a free info request — we'll send you sample manga, a pricing sheet, and a subsidy guide. No obligation. Follow up with a consultation anytime.
