comprehensive IT school in Niigata Prefecture, Niigata Computer College focuses on cutting-edge education through
industry-academia-government collaboration, including educational collaborations with advanced companies and special classes taught by active creators. The merchandise project was realized in collaboration with the Niigata City Anime and Manga Information Center. The museum serves as a base for disseminating information about Niigata, the city of manga and anime, and conveys the appeal of the works of manga artists and anime creators connected to Niigata. The Niigata City Anime and Manga Information Center’s philosophy of “nurturing young creators and promoting culture in Niigata” coincided with the Niigata Computer College’s educational policy of “nurturing the next generation of human resources through industry-academia-government collaboration.” This collaboration has been realized.

Department. For many of the students, this was their first time collaborating with a company, and they made many prototypes to create the goods.

The event focuses on Niigata Prefecture’s high value-added Cool Japan content, including entertainment, culture, food, alcohol, manga, anime, and traditional crafts, and creates innovation through collaboration between content, and spreads the word nationwide and around the world. The purpose is to send out. Students are also in charge of event sales. By selling the works ourselves, we were able to hear the voices of ordinary consumers and receive feedback on our productions.
