Starting at 3:00 PM on Saturday, October 18, 2025, Neopage Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takeko Ogawa), operator of the online novel submission site “Neopage” https://www.neopage.com/, has exclusively released “Hikaru Nekotsume,” a new novel written by voice actress Yuki Kaneko. “Glowing Cat Claw” work page: https://www.neopage.com/book/34065522811854800 This work marks the debut of voice actress Yuki Kaneko as a novelist, and marks her attempt to transcend the realm of voice acting and take a new step as an artist who weaves her own stories. ■Work introduction: Novel “Glowing Cat Claws” A world where every human being possesses a special power: “talent (nail).” The protagonist, Suzune Ogura, works as a “jack-of-all-trades cat,” accepting various requests while interacting with her childhood friend, her former boss, and eccentric clients. What is Suzune’s “other purpose” that glimpses into her strange yet gentle daily life? A slightly mysterious, somewhat sad story that holds something “special” in everyone’s heart. This work opens up a new world of expression by depicting in words the emotions that Yuki Kaneko has conveyed through her voice as a voice actor.

It has garnered attention as a “co-created IP” brought to life through the power of fans, including a drama CD featuring a star-studded cast and music production. Reference: Makuake project page https://www.makuake.com/project/hikarunekotsume/ This Neo Page serialization is a new challenge: “Deepening the world born from voices with words.” For Yuki Kaneko herself, it marks the “starting point as a novelist.” By supporting creative work as a place to create new creative encounters, NeoPage aims to be a co-creation platform where works can develop into the next form, such as a media mix (IP) such as a book, voice drama, or anime. ■The next stage of creative activity depicted on Neo Page The online novel site “Neopage” is a creative platform where all creators, professional and amateur alike, can share their stories. As a “place to create new creative
encounters,” it creates opportunities for works to meet new readers and expand their world. Through this initiative, we hope to support a culture that helps voice actors, actors, artists, and other creators from various industries to give shape to their creative passion and foster it together with their fans. In the future, based on the response to the work, we will support further development of Yuki Kaneko’s IP, including media expansion and corporate collaborations. ■Further expanding the “support experience” that connects fans and creators NeoPage is currently developing systems that allow readers to directly support authors, such as a gifting feature for works and paid individual chapter sales. In the future, we plan to further expand these systems and create a space where fans can become co-creators of the story and help develop the world of the work together. As an ecosystem that supports creative activity, NeoPage aims to be a new hub for creative culture that connects authors, fans, and companies. ■Yuki Kaneko Profile Voice actress.
