Game Features
Mangato: Life In Taiyokawa, is a cozy manga-ka life sim in the fictional solarpunk city of Taiyokawa. Manage your comics as well as your own manga magazine studio. When you're not crunching on your manga or meeting production deadlines, take a break and explore an open-world city. Do various activities to improve your skills as well as interact with NPCs whom you can befriend or romance.
Craft Manga Books
Gather recycled materials around the city to create manga books. Select from; shoujo (girl's manga), shonen (boy's manga), josei (adult women's manga) or seinen (adult men's manga) to pursue. By choosing the right themes for each chapter your manga will gain more fans and fame.
Manage A Manga Magazine
