A Gentle Support for Comic Shops
Weâre working on something that may seem smallâbut we hope it lasts a long time:
Our beginning: It started with a comic book
The first display product we ever made was born from a personal needâto protect and beautifully showcase a comic that belonged to us.
What we didnât expect was that this product would lead us into the world of comic shops.
We began meeting the people behind the countersâthose who engage readers every day. Every shop has its own character, yet many share the same spirit: a deep respect for stories, a patient connection to community, and a commitment to keeping physical spaces alive.
In todayâs world of fast flows and digital metrics, these store owners still believe in something deeper â that honest, lasting relationships with readers matter more than flashy marketing. They remind us that some things are worth doing slowly. And that quiet persistence is what inspires us most.
Thatâs why we believe: our relationship with comic shops is not just about products. Itâs a much deeper connection.
What we saw: The daily challenges store owners face
Through conversations with many shop owners, we gradually noticed that their daily work often involves small, practical detailsâlike handwritten tags, shelf signage, zone markers, and erasable panels. While simple, these tools play a crucial role in keeping the store organized and communicating clearly with customers.
Most of the time, store owners piece these systems together themselves, using whatâs available and what works.
Thatâs why we thought: if we could offer a well-organized set of practical, customizable, and scalable tools, maybe we could help save timeâand bring a little peace of mind to everyday operations.
Our response: Professional tools, built thoughtfully
With over a decade of experience in advertising, weâve worked with several Fortune 500 companiesâequipping us with the ability to respond quickly, make precise decisions, and control sourcing costs.
Now, weâre applying those capabilities to something very simple:
helping each store put together the right set of labels, supplies, and signage for daily use.
Weâre not just restocking shelvesâweâre building a logical, modular, and expandable system.
This system is extensive, and we wonât be able to upload every product to our site immediately. But when customers share their needs with us, we can respond quickly and provide well-matched solutions.
More importantly, thanks to our sourcing network and cost control, many of the items we provide will likely be more affordable than those found on mainstream online platforms.
We hope this becomes a rare experience in todayâs worldâwhere offline support surpasses online convenience: more trusted, more efficient, and more practical.
And just as importantly, we test every product before it becomes part of our supply list. If weâre not confident in its quality and performance, we wonât offer it to our customers.
Our promise: Transparent pricing and shared value
As we build this system, one principle remains at the core: pricing transparency and shared value.
Every product officially included in our support catalog will come with a clear breakdown of cost and profit margin.
We aim to maintain our margin at around 30% â not because itâs the most profitable model, but because we want to build a sustainable, trust-based partnership.
We firmly believe that our value is only truly realized when our customers thrive.
Co-creation plan: Build it with us, benefit with us
For store owners who help shape new products by sharing real needs and enabling practical development,
we invite you to become a Product User Representative.
Youâll test products, share feedback, and help us improve âyour insights will directly influence what we bring to market.
More importantly, if these products are later adopted by other stores,
weâll share a portion of the profits with the original participants.
This isnât just an incentive â itâs how we honor the spirit of co-creation.
We also take your custom work seriously.
If a product originates from your unique idea or request and isnât part of our standard line,
we will always seek your permission before offering it publicly.
Your concept will never be marketed without your consent.
This collaboration is rooted in mutual respect.
We hope to work with those who truly care âto build a system thatâs useful, respectful,
and worthy of the comic shop owners who quietly give their all, day after day.
If youâre curious about the materials weâre developing,
or facing small but persistent operational challenges,
feel free to reach out.
Weâll do our best to find a fitting solution â or build one just for you.
To every shop owner who has welcomed us into your world â thank you.
Thank you for keeping physical reading and authentic cultural spaces alive, especially in times like these.
We know this may not be a loud revolution.
But if this quiet support makes your work even a little easier,
then every effort has been worthwhile.
Weâll keep going â one piece at a time.
