About ignition ignition was established as a 100% subsidiary of IGNIS LTD. in August 2013. It is a company that maximizes both the number of readers and the revenue from them, using the power of digital. ignition provides smartphone apps which has made popular comic titles (the complete series) into freemiums. The apps gained popularity by allowing people to read popular titles such as “Salaryman Kintaro” and “” for free, for 30 minutes each day, and downloads have reached a cumulative 4 million in 9 months from the start of the service. This is an innovative freemium model in that, while there will be a fee charge after the initial 30 minutes, it has succeeded in collecting fees from the enormous amount of users who were initially attracted by the first “free” 30 minutes. We will continue to provide many comic titles that were enthusiastically produced by authors and publishers to as many readers as possible, and strive to create new revenue models.
