Dojin Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 1-8-8 Nakakosaka, Higashiosaka City, Osaka Prefecture, CEO: Hideto Omae) will launch the beta version of "GreenHorn", a manga and illustration commission service, on April 4, 2026.
GreenHorn is a service that creates a one-of-a-kind "your story" by connecting the desire to have something drawn with the talent to draw in a secure environment. It provides a new system that changes the culture of manga production requests.
This service is a platform specialized in manga production that not only connects manga artists and illustrators with clients (companies and individuals), but also integrates "progress management," "clarification of contract terms," and "multifunctional portfolios that lead to jobs."
■ Background of Development
In recent years, while illustration requests have been increasing mainly through social media and commission services, issues such as the difficulty of communicating revision instructions, opacity of fees and processes, occurrence of troubles, and the difficulty of monetization for creators have become apparent, particularly in manga production.
GreenHorn was born after about a year of development against the backdrop of these changing times and challenges. It is designed as a system to securely establish "creative requests between individuals," which have been ambiguous until now. In addition, this service was featured on the business program "Reiwa no Tora" and received a huge response.

■ Test Marketing Results
In test operations prior to the official release, operations were conducted in a closed environment utilizing Discord, and numerous manga production projects were successfully established. As a result, posts with over 600,000 impressions were generated on X (formerly Twitter). This completes the verification of the service as a "product that will actually be used."
