Message from the President

Our company, NTT Solmare, celebrated its 22nd anniversary this April. Since our establishment, we have competed in the field of digital content and entertainment services for mobile device users, welcoming countless customers over these 22 years. Going forward, we will keep striving every day to embody the company philosophy which brought us this far: “to deliver new kinds of surprise and plenty of excitement to our customers, contributing to an enrichment of our society.”

The digital content and entertainment industry is dynamic, continuously adapting with the rise of each new service, and so must we change accordingly. Each and every one of us, however, strongly believes that it is only our unchanging passion to improve our services and exceed our customers’ expectations that allows us to achieve this flexibility.

This year our domestic top-class ebook store Comic C’moA reached the 20-year milestone, and we could not have done it alone. We are proud to help our customers discover new books, comics, and more through the exceptional reading experience we offer. We also put our efforts toward creating original works. Eleven of these comics, including “My Handsome Housekeeper, Nagisa,” have gotten live-action adaptations, while “Plus-sized Misadventures in Love!” will soon become the first of our original comics to get an anime. These adaptations allow our titles to reach more customers than ever.

In March 2022, we launched MangaPlaza, a new digital comic store for the US market. By partnering with over 100 publishers and hosting a wide variety of genres, we are able to offer one of the largest libraries of translated Japanese comics in the US. This vast collection includes many of our original works and other wonderful titles exclusive to MangaPlaza. As we build even more connections and partnerships, we plan to keep adding new and exciting titles in our quest to bring the wonders of manga to a worldwide audience.

Further, our mobile otome game series “Obey Me!” has gained an enthusiastic following since its release in late 2019, particularly in North America, and has exceeded 10 million total downloads worldwide.

We released a brand-new installment, “Obey Me! Nightbringer,” in April 2023, bringing dramatic new plotlines along with exciting 3D content and rhythm games to really bring the charming cast of characters to life.
Through character merchandise, as well as Youtube tie-ins, an anime, and other media, this installment has been attracting numerous new fans.

The aim to always be a trustworthy, unwavering cornerstone of our society is the foundation of NTT Solmare. We have, we are, and we always will carve new, sturdy paths through the rapid currents and raging tides of the modern industry. Our customers will always have us by their side smoothly guiding them to a bright future.

We thank you and look forward to your continuous support.
