indent has provided total support, from sourcing to discovery and production of original works, for companies aiming to create media-mixable IP starting from manga and webtoons. In 2024, we launched the "Nola Agent Function," which connects works seeking commercialization to companies, regardless of whether they have been published on novel submission sites. The "Nola Agent Team" reviews works linked through this function from a pool of over 2.5 million original works created on "Nola" by more than 650,000 authors, and proposes originals tailored to each label's investment strategy.

The newly serialized work, 'I Was Supposed to Be the Old, Lewd Frontier Lord's Next Wife, but I Never Heard He'd Be a Beautiful Margrave Who Dotes on Me!', is a comic adaptation of an original story discovered by indent's agent team through these initiatives.
