Hatena Co.,Ltd. <3930> continues to rise. After the close of trading on the 15th last week, the company announced that its in-house developed manga viewer "GigaViewer for Web" has been adopted by Houbunsha (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo) for its new manga site "Manga Time Square," which is being viewed as positive news.

"Manga Time Square" is a site launched on May 15th, and Houbunsha's adoption of "GigaViewer for Web" marks the second case following "Comic Trail." In addition, for the site launch, Hatena was responsible not only for providing the viewer but also for site design, service planning, and site development. Furthermore, the company is also working on advertising operations to be displayed on the viewer, supporting the service's monetization.
