- The following is content from the press release -
(headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Risako Harada, President) released "Nicomic," a service that gives form to the everyday life of child-rearing in manga form on July 31, 2024. In an unprecedented method of recording child-rearing, users simply input their daily child-rearing episodes and touching moments on line, and professional manga artists will create original manga.
Nicomic is a new childcare support tool that brings a smile to your face by reflecting on the difficulties and joys of childcare in a fun way. It creates emotions such as "chuckles" at the image of oneself reflected in the manga, giving a little more leeway to the daily routine of child-rearing. In addition, all non-fiction manga by other users can be read for free, providing a sense of security that you are not alone.
In addition, to celebrate the service launch, a special half-price offer during the summer vacation period, when the burden of childcare increases, will be offered to the first 100 customers starting today. Please take this opportunity to experience the recording and sharing of childcare with Nicomic.
Nicomic's Background and Thoughts: Nicomic was started by the original experience of the CEO himself.
The challenges of childcare in Japan have been addressed by society as a whole over the years, but many families continue to feel the burden of childcare. I was on maternity leave with my partner, who was relocating to a new country, and we were taking on the challenge of
However, raising a child in a solitary environment with no relatives or friends was tougher than I had ever imagined. Even though I had knowledge of child-rearing, the reality of child-rearing was completely different. The inconvenience of not being able to act on my own initiative and the loneliness of a day that ended without talking to anyone gradually pushed me over the edge.
Sleeping, eating, cleaning - every activity was interrupted by the crying of my children, and my time was being cut into small pieces. Eventually, I could no longer express my feelings or even the events of my daily life in words, and I had no idea where "I" was.
Then, news of a mother who died of postpartum depression caught my attention. At that moment, I thought to myself, "If I had done one thing wrong, I might have ended up like that mother. If I had done one thing wrong, I might have ended up like that mother.
Every day my child is growing steadily, but I don't even have time to feel the joy of it. That is why I began to wonder if I could change my attitude toward childcare by recording and reflecting on the time spent "me and my child.
We felt we needed a tool to enrich the minds of those raising children as much as possible.
Nicomic" was born from this desire.
Through the technique of manga,
Even busy mothers can easily read it in their skim time and feel a little refreshed.
I want to offer a moment when you can look at yourself objectively and smile as you are busy raising your child.
We also hoped that through the manga, we could share our empathy with our partners and other mothers and help alleviate the feeling of loneliness.
Nicomic is a service that was born out of a desire to help mothers and fathers, who are facing the challenges of raising children at all costs, regain a little smile and peace of mind.
