Goal and target of “Manga Meets”
We hear voices from the authors that they “have no clue which magazine fits best for their style”.

In the manga industry, where a way of consuming manga varied and gains several forms of media to appeal their work, the authors, who want to be a manga author, are having a hard time finding their best manga platform to work on.

We created this website because we need to take away barriers created by forms of media, in order to create a place where the editors easily can contact the authors with outstanding abilities and ideas, regarding that Shueisha has been supporting multiple manga titles for girls over the years.

Any genre is welcomed if the manga targets girls and ladies. The genre is not limited to “romance”.
