■ New Plan Added - Monthly and Six-Month Contract Plans Now Available

Previously, 'Kakikomi' offered a three-month contract plan and an annual contract plan. In response to students' voices such as 'I want to try it out for a short period first', 'I want to learn at my own pace', and 'The annual contract payment is too large and makes it difficult to join', we have added new monthly and six-month contract plans. Note that the previous three-month contract plan is no longer available for new sign-ups. (The annual contract plan will continue to be offered.)

The new plan lineup is as follows.

*Note: In addition to the above plans, a joining fee of 10,000 yen (tax-excluded) will be charged at the time of joining (the same applies for re-joining).

*Note: Those currently on the three-month plan can continue to use the service until the end of their contract period.

New Lecturer Added - Naoto Marshy, Author of 'Ama-Kami-sanchi no Enmusubi'

Starting today, we have added a lecture by Naoto Marshy, a manga artist who serialized 'Ama-Kami-sanchi no Enmusubi' in Weekly Shonen Magazine. We plan to add lectures by new professional manga artists every month.

[Lecture Content]

Overwhelming basic skills of adding 'color and light' to black and white
'Naming and performance' that captures and doesn't let go of the reader's heart
'Subtractive' screen creation that controls the reader's gaze
Creating a character design that is loved at first sight
and more

Naoto Marshy Profile

After graduating from the Character Design Department of Kyoto University of the Arts, he worked as an illustrator at a game company.
In 2017, he won the Weekly Shonen Magazine New Manga Award for Excellence with 'Geijutsu Sensei-shon!' and made his manga debut.
In 2020, his one-shot work 'Ama-Kami-sanchi no Enmusubi' published in 'Weekly Shonen Magazine' became popular, and it was serialized in the same magazine from 2021 to 2025. This work was also animated in 2024.
He captivates many readers with his beautiful screen descriptions and high naming performance.

Comment from Naoto Marshy

I've always thought that 'how to make manga' is different for everyone and there is no correct answer,
so I had some resistance to manga lectures. However, at Kakikomi, you can learn the way of thinking and making of various active authors.
Just knowing this can be a great asset for newcomers, and you can also find your own 'way of making manga' from here. I think this is a service.
I would be happy if I could be part of someone's asset.
