LAST UPDATE: 2021.06.15 Research Coverage Report by Shared Research Inc. | https://sharedresearch.jp Executive summary Business overview ◤ A startup company with businesses in two areas, smartphone apps and IoT. In FY08/20, sales were JPY2.9bn (-24.8% YoY), and operating loss was JPY203mn (profit of JPY512mn in FY08/19). Earnings primarily come from manga apps in the Smartphone Apps business. The IoT business was severely impacted by delays and cancellations of in-house development projects due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as the previous target customer base for the &AND HOSTEL smart hostels were inbound tourists. ◤ In the Smartphone Apps business (FY08/20 sales of JPY2.5bn, +41.4% YoY; operating profit of JPY352mn, -41.4% YoY), the company primarily develops and offers manga apps. The company has developed free-to-use manga apps with Square Enix and large publishers such as Hakusensha, Shueisha, and Shogakukan. In manga apps, the company obtains revenue by charging e-comic download fees (rental fees). These apps also draw advertising revenue based on the number of clicks made on banner ads placed through ad networks. Monthly active users (MAUs) in Q2 FY08/21 numbered 10.54mn, mainly young people, ranking it first in the industry despite its late entry. Average revenue per user, or ARPU, after revenue sharing is approximately JPY20 for manga apps. ◤ In the IoT business (FY08/20 sales of JPY337mn, -83.6% YoY; operating loss of JPY187mn, versus profit of JPY194mn in FY08/19), the company plans, develops, and operates the &AND HOSTEL brand of smart hostels, where visitors can experience services made possible by IoT. In this segment, the company also provides IoT solutions for lodging facilities, including innto (a property management system), tabii (a tablet-based service), and totono (a tenant communication app). &AND HOSTEL (eight locations as of end-March 2021) breaks down into two business categories. The first category encompasses planning and developing &AND HOSTEL facilities on property owned by other parties. The company receives planning- and development-related compensation through consulting, real estate brokerage, and other means. The company manages the hostels and receives compensation from hostel owners in return. Outside of the hostel business, innto (installed at 292 locations on a contract basis as of end-February 2021) revenue comes from proceeds from sales and system maintenance and operation fees, which are shared with business partner Almex. tabii (5,181 tablets on a contract basis) also draws advertising revenue for the company. As for totono, the company launched the service in August 2020. Tenants will be charged a usage fee for the app as part of the property’s

  • How Women's Manga Has Performed the Image of Asias, Globally And
    CHAPTER 7 How Women’s Manga Has Performed the Image of ASIAs, Globally and Locally Fusami Ogi At the beginning of the twenty-first century, manga turned into a global phenomenon, accepted by different cultures beyond Japan and inspiring non-Japanese participants. This expanded the scope of women’s manga; since many cultures did not have a special market for female readers, one of the results of the globalization of women’s manga had been to high- light the absence of women readers and authors in the field of comics, and to contribute to the production of a space for female participants in world comics. At the same time, we should acknowledge another serious and fatal locus of absence, namely, Asia. More so than other genres of Japanese comics, women’s manga has seemingly erased Asia from its representa- tional universe. As is well known, feminized European appearance became one of the special features of the so-called shōjo manga style.1 Even when the narrative is set in Asia, it often betrays its setting by making every ideal character look Caucasian, with long legs, round eyes, and a blond curly hairstyle.
