In the Comic Business, Akatsuki provides vertical-scrolling full-color comics through Apple and Google app marketplaces.

Akatsuki aims for global growth through two core businesses: games and comics. In its game business, the company focuses on mobile games, leveraging user behavior data to build operational expertise and capabilities. It is prioritizing the development of original titles and the utilization of strong intellectual properties, while strengthening its domestic and international expansion.

In its comic business, the company analyzes user subscription history and invests in producing original works. Through the HykeComic app, it offers content across diverse genres and is exploring expansion into overseas markets. The company is pursuing a strategy that anticipates growth in the vertical-scroll, full-color comic market.

Through a transition to a holding company structure, Akatsuki is improving operational efficiency and strengthening its competitive position in global markets. Rather than relying on the domestic market, the company is concentrating investment in projects with global potential to pursue long-term returns.

The company prioritizes strengthening its presence in overseas markets, tailoring game and comic offerings to regional characteristics. It is also building a sustainable growth foundation through enhanced user acquisition, adaptation to new technologies, and securing top talent.
