Discover Mochikomi Online's 9th Edition

Celsys, renowned for its commitment to supporting aspiring manga creators, is thrilled to announce the upcoming 9th edition of its online manga submission event, Mochikomi Online, scheduled for December 6, 2025. This event has witnessed participation from over 500 manga editors, providing a unique platform for creators to share their work directly with industry professionals from the comfort of their own homes.

What is Mochikomi Online?

Mochikomi Online is a groundbreaking twice-yearly event that facilitates the submission of manga to editors working across various magazines and webcomic platforms. By allowing creators to interact with multiple editors in one online space, this service creates a vital opportunity for aspiring manga artists who may find it challenging to attend physical events or conventions due to location or time constraints. This year marks a significant milestone as it continues to enhance the connection between budding creators and seasoned editors, ultimately aiming to bolster the manga industry.

Event Details

• - Submission Period: November 10, 2025 – December 5, 2025, until 21:00
• - Event Date: December 6, 2025, from 9:00 to 24:00
• - Registration Cost: Free

Participants will have the chance to submit their works to a diverse range of editors, gaining valuable feedback and advice tailored to their submissions. Before the meetings, creators can upload their manga data and specify areas where they seek guidance. This pre-meeting preparation allows for a more productive exchange between creators and editors, facilitating a deeper discussion that enhances both sides' expectations.

How Does It Work?

Once the submission has been made, participating editors will review the applications and conduct meetings only with those they wish to collaborate with. Online meetings can be arranged using popular platforms like Zoom, ensuring ease of communication. Each session with an editor is allocated a maximum of 30 minutes, allowing for focused discussions without feeling rushed.

Successful Previous Editions

During the last event, Mochikomi Online’s 8th edition, almost 90% of the participating editors engaged with aspiring manga creators, leading to a notable achievement where approximately 50% of these participants secured opportunities for serialization or one-shot publications. This success illustrates the effectiveness of the program in bridging the gap between potential creators and the comic publishing industry.
