Kotonohabunko Celebrates Its 6th Anniversary
Kotonohabunko, a literature label targeting adult women under Micro Magazine Co., Ltd., has proudly reached its sixth anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, an anniversary promotional video (PV) featuring renowned voice actor Kengo Kawanishi has been released today. The PV showcases a wide array of captivating book covers that encapsulate the essence of various genres, including romance, mystery, and cuisine that have adorned its collection since the label's inception in 2019. This video shines a spotlight on the careful selection and love that goes into each publication, making it a delightful experience for viewers.
The anniversary PV will be screened at Shibuya Ai Vision (Shibuya Toei Plaza) from May 30 to June 29, 2025. For those unable to visit in person, a special version of the same PV is available on the Kotonohabunko YouTube channel. This unique version features a different rendition of 'Micro Magazine' at the end and will be live for one month only, so fans should not miss this chance!
