On the 19th, Nex Group (6634) announced that its subsidiary, Jitsugyo no Nippon Digital, in collaboration with the rights business development department of Jitsugyo no Nippon, which is a shareholder of Nex Group, and Kaika Financial Holdings, will implement the second phase of the "NFT Manga Project" to support manga publishing through NFTs.
The second phase will feature new manga artist shino, who has spent over 20 years in the Kansai region and is now taking on new challenges in Tokyo.
The NFT manga project is a new style of manga publishing where the support of readers is directly connected to publishing. It provides a mechanism for readers to support their favorite works and contribute to their success.
NFTs can be purchased in Japanese yen, and they offer NFT buyers an opportunity to receive royalties by contributing to the editing of the manga, allowing them to earn rewards while participating in the creation of the works.
In this project, Jitsugyo no Nippon and Zaif INO cooperate to fully support the creative activities of manga artists. Zaif INO will handle promotions, fund distribution, and communication with NFT buyers, creating an environment where manga artists can focus entirely on their work and supporting the overall success of the project.
The publishing styles include NFT publishing, e-publishing, and paper book publishing, which are the three styles aimed at readers and manga artists.
Additionally, there are supportive manga NFTs where buyers can not only read the manga but also have their names included in the end credits or appear in the story as characters, as well as investment-type manga NFTs where buyers can engage in manga publishing as editorial collaborators and earn royalties from the works.
