  Current Challenges Specific Initiatives and Future Prospects:

  As of the fiscal year 2022 the team structure had not been established and multiple projects were being progressed while considering resources. However the challenge arose as the development speed in areas requiring more attention could not be guaranteed due to urgent additional tasks and balancing overall requirements.

  To address this a projectbased approach was introduced from the fiscal year 2023 to strengthen collaboration with each business department. The current team structure 123 was established. Initially the teams focus on strategically significant areas such as Overseas and Commercial Comics to increase development speed.

  However in the current team structure largescale meetings with dozens of participants from relevant departments have highlighted the need for further team subdivision. Given the current number of staff there is no room for additional personnel or resources to achieve the necessary team subdivision.

  To further strengthen the development structure and facilitate team subdivision additional hiring is being planned. We invite you to contribute to the companys main business of service development and work together to support the growth of our services.
