Our Operations NTTsolmare

Our Operations

The fundamental principle of our business is to provide new value to
our customers. What this means is that our operations originate from
the "voices of our customers," we pursue originality in a relatively
"new field" and we place significant value on our own "continuous
transformation".

The No.1 Mobile Comic site as a result
of the huge support of many of our customers.

As a result of immense support from our customers, NTT Solmare's Manga content distribution service is privileged to be ranked as No. 1 in the mobile carrier site ranking in Japan where Manga distribution services are more widely available than any other country in the world. We will further strive to offer inspiration and amazement in the future, while maintaining our customer-centered approach, aiming beyond meeting customer expectations and always focusing on providing better services than what our customers assume or expect.

Leading the industry
in promoting the soundness of mobile comic sites

Mobile phones are owned by people of all ages nowadays. There are many mobile sites, which are accessible by anyone, regardless of their age, but some of them have the potential danger of containing harmful information and posing negative effects on the healthy development of children. We, therefore, put our utmost efforts into ensuring the soundness of our site in order for underage users to safely enjoy it. Similarly, in order to boost our contribution towards the sound development of mobile content, we lead the mobile comic industry by becoming the first EMA-approved site in the industry. Moreover, as part of our efforts towards setting voluntary comic restrictions, we commit ourselves to the soundness of our site through the implementation of the toughest voluntary distribution standards in the industry.

Content Evaluation and Monitoring Association (EMA) (http://www.ema.or.jp/)

EMA is a third-party organization, which was established in April 2008, with the objective of restoring soundness to content provided for mobile phones and Personal Handy-phone System (PHS). In accordance with "the Accreditation Criteria for the Operation and Management of Community Sites," the EMA certifies the "soundness" of websites.

Receiving support from overseas countries, we now
have the highest overseas transmission record in
the mobile comic industry.

With the wide spread of sophisticated mobile phones, contents services are becoming significantly important in overseas countries. Based on our considerable success and experience of mobile comic transmission in Japan, we collaborate with overseas countries and provide content services. Manga are now recognized as part of distinctive Japanese culture and we are developing our network not only in Japan but in many other countries, hoping to make Japanese Manga accessible to as many people as possible across the world. We are committed to the provision of valuable content to the world, through constructing relationships with many overseas nations.
