Business Content Manga research
What do people find interesting about manga? What are they interested in? We believe that by scientifically analyzing what makes manga interesting and creating a database of that information, we can utilize that information in creating new works. Furthermore, we believe that if we can provide a recommendation system that introduces works that perfectly match readers' tastes, it could lead to the revitalization of the manga industry.
We will continue to open up the future of manga by scientifically researching and analyzing the fun of manga and providing encounters with really interesting manga.
* A part of the research content will be released at a later date.
Overview
The emotion that manga brings can be quantified.
Based on this hypothesis, Coamix is conducting research on biological reactions such as human emotions (brain activity) together with the University of Tokyo and the University of Electro-Communications.
In-house data scientists are also playing a central role in promoting research and development of recommendation systems using AI.
In order to prevent the work of talented manga artists from being buried, advanced efforts are being made to realize ideal encounters with readers who seek the work.

I want to choose a work that suits my taste from among many works.
However, the recommendations from the purchase history rarely show the works of new MANGAKA.
Perhaps the work that could have become a masterpiece for someone was buried without encountering the reader.
By studying a person's tastes and brain, if we can provide a work that is perfect for that person, we will be happy not only for the reader but also for the painter.I am conducting research to help with that.Board of Director Corporate Headquarters General Manager Ken Hanada
