Manga has the power to overcome the language & culture barrier

Inbound / Tourist Information / Localization Support

マンガには「言葉と文化」の壁を超える力がある!!

Japan proudly owns and leads the manga culture in the world, and at the same time, it has become a new communication tool that connects Japan to the rest of the world.

Even though the characters can speak the same language as the reader, the manga is not limited to sentences, and it is possible to convey information with emotions and overcome the language barrier.

At Sideranch, we have many successful examples of Manga Translation and Localization.

It is possible to efficiently give information about the tourist attractions that are difficult to convey with letters alone. It is also popular with overseas travelers as a Japanese-style “entertainment”.

Advertisement with manga easily catches attention and has become a new standard. Since it can be read and shared easily with the sites like Twitter and Facebook, it is highly possible to go viral on social media!

Manga uses relatively simple expressions so you can explain difficult content in an easy-to-understand manner. For example, foreign workers can easily understand the manga as it can reproduce various situations on the job.
