Important Notes

Before you submit, to ensure a fair and professional experience for all creators, we ask that you review and confirm the following points. By submitting your work, you agree to these guidelines.

  • Applicant Responsibility: Applicants apply at their own responsibility and expense, including any communication fees or related costs.
  • Minor Consent: If you are a minor, please have a parent or legal guardian review these guidelines and provide their consent before you apply.

Please be aware that if no slots are available, we may suggest an alternative time or may not be able to accommodate your request.
  • Portfolio Format & Rules: We do not accept text-only portfolios (such as novels or scripts) or illustration-only portfolios. Please ensure you prepare a manga portfolio. Applications with missing or incorrect information will not be accepted.
  • On-Site Requirement: You must bring your portfolio materials with you on the day of the review (physical copies or digital data on a tablet/laptop), even if submitted in advance online.
  • Session Timeout: Your form session may time out if left unattended for an extended period, which may cause your input to be lost.
  • Email Settings: A confirmation email will be sent to your registered address. Please ensure your settings allow emails from the "@ml.kadokawa.jp" domain in advance.
