News Summary:

On September 16, 2026, KADOKAWA announced it will bring its OnSITE Portfolio Review program to Indonesia for the first time, offering aspiring manga creators direct feedback from professional editors at Comic Paradise 2026 in Yogyakarta on October 17 and 18. This development follows KADOKAWA's September 9 plan to consolidate five anime production subsidiaries—ENGI, Studio KADAN, Chiptune, Bellnox Films, and Raging Bull—into a new company named Studio One Base in November 2026, unifying their management while preserving individual creative identities. KADOKAWA first revealed this intention on September 8, when it also announced the integration of the official websites for Dengeki Bunko and Dengeki no Shin Bungei into its main corporate website (kadokawa.co.jp) on September 30, 2026, which will change their URLs and designs. The company operates within a Japanese print book market that saw sales fall below 1 trillion yen in 2025 for the first time in 50 years, marked by a collapse in manga print volumes, though some print categories show signs of rebounding despite slowing digital growth and rising library circulation.
