◆About 'Mochikomi online'
'Mochikomi online' is a matching service for 'aspiring manga artists' and 'manga editors.' Since it provides matching opportunities online, it is utilized by those who have difficulty visiting editorial departments, such as people living in rural areas, company employees/part-timers who find it hard to make time on weekdays, and those who want to efficiently get advice from many editors. This has led to commercial serializations and one-shot publications. It is also used by editors active in manga magazines, web comic sites, and editorial production companies as a valuable matching opportunity to meet people they would not normally encounter at traveling editorial departments or their own submission windows. https://mochicomi.mannavi.net/
