​ indent has been operating the novel posting site “Nola Novel” for writers, where they can directly post works written on the creative platform “Nola”. Within “Nola Novel,” we operate an “Editorial Department Bulletin Board” where the editorial department of each company posts the themes and elements of their works that are desired by the editorial department, supporting more writers to make their commercial debut. On the other hand, the editorial department of Tatesuku Comics said, “We want to create mega-hit works from Japan and reach the world with Tatesque!” ” was born in 2021. In vivid full color and in a vertical scrolling format that is easy to read on smartphones, the original popular works “A Villain’s Daughter is Poisoned, But It Looks Like She’s Been Into a Doting Route” and “Amir in the Shade: The Strongest Bow Who Has Been Exiled and Unrivaled” In addition to “Usage”, popular horizontal comic works such as “Bungo Stray Dogs”, “Soon To Be You”, and “Disappeared Mama Friend” are also available under the full-color Tatesuku Comic label. In this initiative, we will utilize the membership base of “Nola” operated by indent, which has over 500,000 authors and total production volume of over 1.8 million, as well as the “editorial department bulletin board” function of Nola Novel, to create Tatesuku Comics. We will promote the discovery of works desired by the editorial department. This is the second initiative between indent and KADOKAWA to discover original works to create new IP, following the KADOKAWA Global Comic Editorial Department, which started in July of this year. We aim to create a global IP that will gain worldwide popularity by combining the strengths of the Tatesuque Comic Editorial Department, which has a wealth of know-how in producing manga that are loved around the world. Through this initiative, indent and KADOKAWA will strengthen collaboration in the supply of original works and contribute to the further development and revitalization of the creative market, including vertical comics, both domestically and internationally. ■Comment from the Tatesuku Comic Editorial Department “Nola” is a creative platform that is not limited to novels. By meeting more creators such as novelists, scenario writers, and scriptwriters who use this technology, we hope to be able to bring out the range of work and originality that only vertical comics can offer. All of us at the editorial department are looking forward to helping creators create new works. ■Editorial department bulletin board Details of scouting requirements ●Recruitment label 1.Tatesuku Comic Editorial Department (Boys/Youth) “Editorial Department Bulletin Board” page : https://story.nola-novel.com/company/tatesc-men We are also paying attention to drama-type works set in the modern world, including traditional stories in which a weak protagonist develops his abilities and becomes stronger, whether in the present day or in another world. Please be aware of your unique “originality” and the “good tempo” of vertical comics. 2.Tatesuku Comic Editorial Department (Girls/Women) “Editorial Department Bulletin Board” page :
https://story.nola-novel.com/company/tatesc-women We are looking for exciting themes such as adultery, revenge, and troubles with neighbors set in the present day. “Another World/Romance Fantasy” not only welcomes classic romances, but also original works. “Draw the reader in in the first episode” Why read this work out of all the others? In the first episode, be sure to clearly state what kind of story this story is and who it is aimed at, and try to develop it in a way that is interesting. “There’s a trick to read the next story”
Vertical-scrolling comics generally have a “story-selling” format, with each story being one story at a time. I can’t help but buy it because I’m curious about the continuation… Please be aware of the twist at the end of the story every time. “Be conscious of character development” Be sure to be aware of the interestingness and hook of the character itself, and make it easy for readers to empathize with and admire the character. Dark heroes/heroines are also OK, but be sure to think about the elements that will make your readers like them. ●How to submit your work 1. Please check the scouting guidelines posted on the “Editorial Department Bulletin Board” page and write your original novel in accordance with the guidelines. 2. Please post your work on “Nola Novel” with the tags “#Tatesuque Comic Editorial Department (Boys/Young Men)” and “#Tatesuque Comic Editorial Department (Girls/Women)).” *Submitted works are constantly checked. Works that match the recruitment requirements will be scouted at regular editorial meetings. *1) What is “Nola”? “Nola” is a creative platform operated by indent for writers.
