Dojin Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Higashiosaka City, Osaka; CEO: Hideto Omae) has launched 'GreenHorn' starting April 2026, a manga production platform that reduces costs by approximately 1/3 and allows businesses to commission Japanese manga artists directly.
In recent years, the demand for manga as 'content that conveys messages effectively' has surged for SNS ads and Landing Pages. However, many companies have hesitated to utilize it due to high production costs, unclear results, difficulty in finding the right artist, and potential troubles during progress or revisions.
GreenHorn aims to solve these issues and realize a world where 'anyone can use manga at low risk.'
Background:
The era of producing content at low cost has arrived with the spread of AI-generated content. However, challenges such as concerns over rights and scope of use for commercial purposes, brand damage risks, and difficulty in differentiating content have also become apparent.
Particularly in marketing, the value of 'content drawn with human sensibility' is being re-evaluated. Manga is rapidly gaining traction in advertising, recruitment, and branding due to its unique characteristics: simplifying difficult information, being approachable and emotionally resonant, and ensuring high completion rates among readers.
Service Features:
GreenHorn is a commission service specialized in manga and illustration production. It fundamentally solves issues in commissioning by restructuring the conventional production model.
1. Reduction of Production Costs by Approx. 1/3
By commissioning manga artists directly without an intermediary production company, middle costs are eliminated. This allows for an increased number of pages or improved quality within the same budget.
2. Centralized Management of Production Processes
From organizing conditions (page count, deadlines, rights) to storyboard (name) creation, final drawing, and revision instructions, everything is completed on the platform. Even first-time users can proceed smoothly.
3. Production by Japanese Manga Artists
GreenHorn is based on production by real Japanese manga artists. This allows for accurate reflection of brand or service intentions and fine-grained adjustments.
4. Flexible Ordering Styles
We offer both 'Direct Request' to specific artists you find and a 'Bulletin Board' function to solicit proposals for projects, allowing for flexible selection based on purpose and style.
Usage Scenarios:
GreenHorn is utilized for specific purposes such as:
- Marketing: Promoting service understanding and improving CVR in ads and SNS.
- Content Assets: Developing proprietary IP to gain fans continuously.
- Recruitment: Conveying corporate culture, philosophy, and working images.
- Education/Internal Training: Making manuals and training materials easy to understand.
- Sales/Presentation Materials: Intuitively conveying product features.
- Store Experience: Using manga for menus or posters to spark conversation.
Service Value:
GreenHorn is not just a matching service but provides a system to eliminate uncertainty in manga production through clarification of conditions, visualization of processes, and standardization of communication. Furthermore, optional direction support from professional editors is available to ensure quality, including composition and story design.
