KADOKAWA Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President, CEO: Takeshi Natsuno) will release "Experience Through Manga! Trust Coaching: Moving People with Harmony" (Authored by Keisuke Baba / Manga by MARUMI) on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. This book allows readers to learn communication techniques for nurturing people through "trust," neither by scolding nor by laissez-faire, in a manga format.
"If I speak strongly to my subordinates, I might be accused of harassment."
"But, I still have to deliver results."
"I want to entrust them, but they don't take initiative easily."
In modern workplaces, supervisors and leaders increasingly face challenges in human resource development. Small communication misunderstandings can easily lead to misinterpretations, making both those who guide and those who are guided cautious. This book, "Experience Through Manga! Trust Coaching: Moving People with Harmony," is a volume that allows readers to experientially learn the communication needed in such times to "move people with trust" through manga.
The core of the story is not a conversation that tries to change the other person, but a dialogue that enables the other person to start acting on their own. Instead of unilaterally giving instructions or advice, it focuses on finding and believing in the thoughts, sources of action, and potential within the other person. Practical themes such as "four-dimensional and five-dimensional perspectives," "core drive," "inside feedback," and "true feedback" are developed alongside the story. The content is applicable not only to challenges in subordinate development and team building in business settings but also to family, parenting, education, and human relationships. Because it can be read in manga format, it is easy for those new to coaching to get into, and its structure makes it widely useful for leaders, managers, educators, and parents.
People don't change just by "scolding," "praising," or "teaching." So, what kind of involvement makes people change their actions voluntarily? This book presents the answer from the perspective of "trust."
