Orange
Orange develops manga-specific deep-learning models (computer vision and NLP) for OCR, translation, text removal and redrawing. It uses them for a localization tool and an in-house "Studio" team that translates manga at scale. It also runs the digital manga store emaqi, launched in the US in 2024. Customers are Japanese manga publishers (Shogakukan is an investor) and overseas readers. It raised about $1.8M in 2023 (Globis Capital Partners, Chiba Dojo) and JPY 2.92B (about $19.5M) in a pre-Series A round in May 2024. It was selected for the J-Startup program.
