お客さまの声 VOICE

金沢さま

"Just by opening the manga and staying silent for three minutes, we closed the deal. Since I only had to answer questions about the parts that interested me—rather than being subjected to a one-sided sales pitch—the negotiation went very smoothly. I truly realized that the potential of manga is limitless."

Mr. Hiroaki Kanazawa, Representative, Voice Social Insurance and Labor Consultant Corporation

沢田さま

"The 'AI × Manga' training transformed my work. What used to take hours—like writing instructions or apology emails—now takes just a few minutes. I was surprised to find that some of the job seekers were actually my followers. After the training, I felt my horizons had broadened and that I was truly connected to the world."

Mr. Takahisa Sawada, Representative Director of Seiko Transport & Warehousing

02 Trust Levels
Becoming a Company People Choose
Stories leave a lasting impression. And they are deeply understood. That is why they are chosen.
03 Fan Formation Stage
Fans grow, and the business thrives
It doesn't end with a single interaction. The series keeps readers coming back for the next installment, leading to repeat reads, referrals, and new subscribers.
Before...to gather people、Duringand form a relationship、Afterand build a fan base。
This will become an asset of empathy built through the project.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Q1. What does the "Persona Experience" involve?

A. 30分のオンライン(ZOOM)で、Recruitment・Trade Show・海外展開のうち「御社の魅力がどこで伝わっていないか」を一緒に整理します。診断後はその場でImprovementの方向性をお伝えします。売り込みはしません。ワクワクできるProjectだけを、一緒にやっています。

Q2. Can this be used even in industries that have no connection to manga or anime?

A. はい。鉄工所・物流・食品など、マンガと縁の薄い業種でのTrack Recordがあります。現場の様子や仕事へのこだわりを物語にすると、文章や数字だけでは伝わりにくい魅力が届きやすくなります。

Q3. I’m not able to follow up on all the leads I get at trade shows. Can you help me solve this problem?

A. Yes. It’s often said that 90 percent of the leads gathered at trade shows don’t result in business deals. The main reason is that “the story doesn’t continue.” At Manga Culture, we design trade shows around three phases: “before,” “during,” and “after.”

Before the Exhibition (2 months): Build anticipation through serialized manga, social media, and email newsletters to secure advance appointments. Create a sense of “I want to meet them” even before visitors arrive.
The Day of the Exhibition: We display standing signs, POP displays, and short animated videos featuring our mascot character on monitors. Going beyond simply handing out promotional items, we implement strategies designed to draw visitors to our booth and enhance the quality of business discussions.
After the exhibition (for 3 months): By maintaining engagement through a monthly manga series, we nurture prospects from “I want to see them again” to “I want to partner with this company.”

A trade show is the “starting line.” By preparing in advance and weaving a narrative that extends beyond the event, we can significantly increase the number of business opportunities.

Q4. How much will it cost, and how long will it take?

A. MonthlyStarting at 180,000 yen(Contract of 6 months or longer)です。月額18万円〜(契約6ヶ月以上)です。御社の課題・規模・ご希望に合わせて最適なプランをご提案します。マスコットキャラクター制作から始めるケース、連載マンガで半年間の支援を行うケース、Trade Showに合わせた展開など、Projectの形はさまざまです。まずは無料のPersona Experienceで御社の課題を整理するところから始めましょう。

Q5. What is the difference between you and an advertising agency or a social media management service?

A. The job of an agency or management service provider is to “handle communications on your behalf.” Manga Culture’s job is to “turn your company’s appeal into a story and manage projects to build a fan base.” We are directly contracted to handle everything—production, management, proposals, and post-launch support—in an integrated manner. Weaving together trade shows, recruitment, and international expansion into a single narrative is something neither AI nor advertising agencies can replicate.

Q6. Do you support international expansion?

A. はい。私たち自身がフランス・ジャパンエキスポ等に累計11回出展Track Recordがあります。またタイの83万人規模のイベントでマンガ・キャラクターをご活用いただき、5回のリピートにつながったTrack Recordがあります。マンガ・アニメは言語・文化・宗教の壁を越えます。国内での魅力発信の流れが整ったら、次のステップとして海外市場への展開を支援します。
