He has a "cool mind and a warm heart."

I would like to work with someone like that.

There were two reasons, the first being manga. I love manga and have been a fan of Core Mix's works for a long time. I was particularly impressed by "Unsung Cinderella: Hospital Pharmacist Aoi Midori" and "The 2th Medical Record: Tokushige Akira's Medical Interview." Reading these two medical works, I felt the accumulation of meticulous research and the sincerity and passion of the creators. Core Mix doesn't just prioritize sales. I thought it was a publisher that creates conscientious and serious works.

Another trigger was studying copyright. I love manga, and I wanted to work in this industry, protecting and supporting content. In preparation for that, I studied reproduction rights and the use of copyrighted works on the web. As a result, I had just passed the Business Copyright Examination (the only qualification exam in Japan that specializes in copyright). It was around that time that I found out that Coremix was recruiting for a legal position. I applied, hoping to be able to support the legal aspects of Coremix's works, which I love, and was fortunate enough to join the company in September 1.

From the perspective of a legal officer, I think the workplace atmosphere at Coremix is excellent. This is because the relationship between the business division and the legal department is excellent. I am deeply grateful to the senior employees who have cultivated this as the company's culture. It is precisely because of this culture that the business division and the legal department are able to exchange opinions, discuss and decide on the content of contracts on an equal footing. The relationship between the business division and the legal department varies greatly depending on the organization. For legal officers, this leads to ease of work and a sense of fulfillment, so I would like to particularly talk about Coremix's culture to those taking the recruitment exam.

Also, while it's not about the atmosphere at work, one good thing about Coremix's legal department is that they strive to prevent work from becoming too personal. However, this is not always the case, and we believe that we need to continue to work on this in the future. However, to avoid situations where we say, "The person in charge isn't here, so we don't know about that matter," we work as an organization, constantly sharing information about each case and the knowledge each person has gained. Furthermore, we are working to digitize contracts that were previously signed on paper, and to introduce and utilize a system for managing deadlines.

I learned this when I joined the company and thought it was wonderful. Dependence on individuals, which leads to "reinventing the wheel" - researching and revisiting problems that have already been considered in the past - is a problem that is also seen as a problem in the legal industry, but Coremix's conscious efforts to solve this problem are what makes it so great. In the future, I would like to continue creating manuals to share knowledge and methods, with an eye toward new legal colleagues.

　Finally, speaking of the atmosphere in the workplace, not just in the Legal Affairs Department but overall, there are many employees who love entertainment. When I talk about manga, anime, and movies, there are people who understand their value. I feel happy to be able to work in such an environment.

For me, there are two advantages to having the company in Kichijoji. The first is that I no longer have to exhaust myself on crowded trains. In my case, having my home and work close to each other means I can start work without exhausting myself mentally or physically. I feel like I can concentrate on my work more than before. The second advantage is that it's a town where you can have fun after work. As someone who also loves movies, I'm happy that my workplace is in a town with large movie theaters such as Uplink Kichijoji and Kichijoji Odeon.
In terms of employee benefits, I'm happy that all employees can read our company's manga app "Manga Hotto" for free. As a manga fan, I'm grateful for this, and I think our new recruits also like manga, so I wanted to let them know about it.
