indent's Nola platform opened a permanent submission window for Shueisha's Manga Mee editorial department starting September 1, 2026, recruiting original works for comic adaptation across three genres. Manga Mee has surpassed 16 million cumulative downloads, and Nola counts over 700,000 writers and over 3 million works.
indent runs the window through Nola's editorial bulletin board, a feature that lets writers bring work directly to an editorial team and gives that team a standing base for finding originals. The Manga Mee editorial department said it sees strong potential in Nola as a place where many creators work, and looks forward to meeting works and creators that readers get absorbed in.
Manga Mee launched in 2018 and has produced hits including the drama-adapted vertical scroll manga Saretagawa no Blue and Tonari no Motokare-kun, which has passed 1.5 million copies in print and digital. indent says it supports more than 60 labels in Japan and abroad.
