Precisely because we live in a convenient society where information can be easily accessed digitally, I would like people to go to the actual site and experience primary
information that is different from what they had imagined in their heads or what they had searched for. There are many families who read CoroCoro Comics for two generations, both parents and children, so using CoroCoro Comics as a travel companion (it’s heavy, but…) is a wonderful and unforgettable experience for children and parents alike. I want them to have a travel experience. Based on this feedback, we are planning a project for next year in which parents and children will “encounter different scenery than usual.” Please stay tuned. What is “CoroCoro Comic Research Institute”?
