The NPO Manga Project Kagoshima is a non-profit organization that conveys regional appeals with manga and anime, which Japan proudly presents to the world as “Cool Japan”. As part of this effort, they presided over the “Kagoshima Manga Kurodemy Award”, which awarded manga works related to Kagoshima Prefecture’s “Kuro Culture” submitted from all over the country. Furthermore, they take part in activities that aim for “Industrial Manga Kingdom Kagoshima” in order to revitalize the community by bringing out the appeals of local industries and companies.
