From the Editor

We are pleased to announce that we have added a new company to the Maneboo Money Learning App, which we recently announced the release of, and which also allows young children to learn about money. We hope that they will continue to add new content at a good pace. Let's take a look at the new content from the release.

- Below is the content from the press release--

(Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Tomohiro Ebata; hereinafter referred to as "mediba") has welcomed Tatsunoko Pro Inc. and Sanko Marketing Foods Inc. to the in-app shop of the money learning application "Maneboo", which is being planned and developed jointly with ORSO Inc. Ltd. and Sanko Marketing Foods, Inc. to provide the service from July 29, 2021.

"Manebu" is a money learning app released by mediba on June 23, 2021, where children can earn money through work experience at the in-app shop. Through experiences such as shopping using the in-app currency "Manebu" and "Manebu", children can learn about money systems in a game-like manner. By experiencing the work of a real shop in the app, users can learn about money in a way that is difficult to learn at school, and at the same time, the app is expected to help foster brand awareness and attachment to the company.

In order to make Maneboo even more exciting, we have formed a partnership with two new companies, Tatsunoko Pro Inc. and Sanko Marketing Foods Inc. to open two new brands in the app, Tatsunoko Pro and Maruga Suisan.

Shunsuke Nakajima, Deputy General Manager, Content Business Department, Tatsunoko Productions Inc.

We are very happy to participate in the project of the work experience application "Maneboo". Since its foundation in 1962, Tatsunoko Productions has produced many works. Through this project, we hope that children will dream of a career in "animation production" and become leaders in creating the content of the future.

Mr. Shigehiro Nagasawa, President of Sanko Marketing Foods Co.

We are a company that operates about 50 restaurants mainly in Tokyo. Last year, through a partnership with the Numazu City Fishermen's Cooperative Association, we took part in fishing in Suruga Bay with real fishermen, serving the fish we caught and the fresh fish we auctioned off at the fish market as sashimi and sushi at our Maruga Suisan (Numazu) and Marugamaru (Takadanobaba) restaurants. "At Manebu, we hope that the children's simulated work experience will help them and their families to develop an interest in fisheries, fishermen and fish markets.

"Maneboo is a fun way for children to learn about money and society, and a great opportunity for parents and children to communicate with each other.
