    We publish the free magazine "Polamel," which aims to revitalize parent-child communication through story time, and also publish the issue of "Forest Warrior Bonoron."

    Bonolon was created by the manga artist Tetsuo Hara, creator of "Fist of the North Star," and editor Seibo Kitahara (Nobuhiko Horie). With the hope that "even if it's just 15 minutes once a month, parents and children can spend time together," they continue to depict important things they want to convey to children, such as family love, friendship, and compassion.

    Seven Bank has kindly supported our wish to "deliver picture stories to all children," and we are now distributing them free of charge at Seven-Eleven stores and other locations nationwide.

    Beyond simply distributing booklets, we are also dedicated to promoting the culture of reading aloud through reader interaction events such as storytelling sessions.

    Bonolon solves problems without relying on magic, instead empathizing with the characters' feelings. His stories aim to bring a gentle light to the reader's heart when they are weary or lost.
    Every time we receive a letter saying, "I'm now reading Bonoron to my own children, just as I was read it when I was little," we are reminded of the power of picture books to be passed down through generations.
    This is a picture story that we hope will be enjoyed not only by children, but by people of all ages.
