Comici Store Officially Opens

On October 24, 2025, Comici Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, announced the launch of the Comici Store, a new platform dedicated to transforming manga works published on the Comici+ SaaS into merchandise for pre-order sales. The new store aims to create a strong connection between readers and content creators by offering IP goods and allowing fans to engage more deeply with their favorite series.

The Comici Store will primarily feature serialized works, including early chapters published in magazines operating under the Comici+ platform. By launching merchandise early in a series' lifecycle, the store facilitates a unique platform for fandom communication, allowing authors and official channels to respond to fan enthusiasm and feedback. Additionally, the Comici Store serves as a valuable promotional tool during new comic releases, offering limited edition items bundled with special editions of comics or testing market interests based on merchandise sales, giving insights into the popularity of serialized content.

As part of its debut, the first merchandise collection features items from the ongoing series "Tamano Koshire: Ashigirl EDO" and the preceding volume "Ashigirl In" available for pre-order until November 6.

What Is Comici+?

The Comici+ platform provides publishers and webtoon studios with a comprehensive tool for creating web-based manga magazines. It focuses on branding and operational support allowing creators to launch their content cost-effectively and swiftly. Notably, established publishers like Shueisha and Shogakukan have integrated Comici+ into their web presence, making Comici a pivotal infrastructure partner for over 23 media outlets and surpassing 2 million members within the manga community.

Among its key aims, Comici+ focuses on:

• - Self-Promotion and New Work Awareness: Empowering creators to market their works independently, reducing reliance on external platforms.
• - Data Collection and Analysis: Establishing direct connections with users and gathering insights about readership and trends.
• - Experimental Sales of New Works: Offering opportunities for emerging and established authors to explore a direct marketplace.

The need for direct promotion and relationship-building with readers has significantly surged, prompting Comici to develop a store function that allows for merchandise transformation and sales of serialized works. This strategy efficiently increases fan interaction and sets the stage for deeper engagements with their brands from an early point.
