Descrizione
Flex Comix Inc. is a Japanese manga publisher founded on the 2nd October 2006. Its current headquarters are in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo.
Originally founded as a subsidiary of SoftBank Corp., the company has been part of Aplix IP Holdings Corporation since the 9th August 2012. Flex Comix Inc. is a spin-off of the comics division of the joint venture company Mobida Entertainment (モビーダ・エンターテインメント). At its inception, its offices were located in Minato district; in April 2007, the company moved to Chiyoda district.
In addition to its two magazines Comi Digi + and the Monthly Shounen Blood, whose publication has been discontinued, the publishing house also runs 3 web comic magazines: FlexComix Blood, FlexComix Flare and FlexComix Next.
Likewise, the company published manga anthologies of manga under its Flex Comix brand name, which were published in the Monthly Shounen Blood magazine.
The web comic magazine FlexComix Blood launched in January 2007 as an e-book edition on the Yahoo! comics portal of Yahoo! Japan. In the process, relations with the light novel label GA Bunko were strengthened and many light novels were published as manga adaptations in the FlexComix Blood magazine. In October of the same year, the free magazine FlexComix Flare (for women) was launched, as well as FlexComix Next, which was launched on the 3rd June 2008 and is aimed at younger readers.
In December 2008, they also started publishing mangas via the company’s own website. Initially, however, everything continued to be published on the Yahoo! comics portal. In August 2011, they started publishing mangas on the TSUTAYA-GALAPAGOS e-book reader device under the name FlexComix SP. Furthermore, the magazine Comi Digi + was discontinued with the 15th issue in August 2008 and all associated anthology publications under the name Comi Digi COMICS (コミデジコミックス). These were previously published in collaboration with Broccoli and SB Creative Corp.
On the 31st August 2011, an extraordinary general meeting was held at Holp Shuppan (3rd generation) at which it was decided to focus primarily on children’s books as the main business in the future. At the same time, the relationship between Flex Comix and Holp Shuppan was established. Flex Comix ended its collaboration with SB Creative Corp. towards the end of 2011 and announced that from the 1st February 2012 all publications would now be done through Holp Shuppan.
The mangas “Break Blade” and “Tenshi no Drop”, previously published in Flex Comix Blood magazine, were published in the web comic portal COMIC Meteor (COMIC メテオ) operated by G-Mode from 25 July 2012.
At the beginning of August 2012, Flex Comix was bought by the parent company of G-Mode – now known as Aplix IP Holdings Corporation – and converted into a subsidiary of the latter. The reason for the purchase was to make it easier for well-known manga authors to publish sequels and new works without having to work with many different companies. At the same time, Holp Shuppan, which was already working with Flex Comix, was bought out and turned into a subsidiary.
On the 5th September 2012 it was announced that the two magazines FlexComix Blood and FlexComix Next would be discontinued and integrated into the web comics portal COMIC Meteor. The same announcement followed at the end of September for the magazine FlexComix Flare, which would be integrated into the web comic portal COMIC Polaris, launched by G-Mode on the 25th October of the same year. In April 2013, the two web portals were transferred to the subsidiary Aplix IP Publishing Corporation, which is also a subsidiary of Aplix IP Holdings Corporation.
Thus, towards the end of 2012, all web comic magazines previously published by Flex Comix were discontinued. The paperbacks that publish the mangas of COMIC Meteor and Comic Polaris as anthologies for bookstores are published by the publisher Holp Shuppan under the names Meteor COMICS (メテオCOMICS) and Polaris COMICS (ポラリスCOMICS). Furthermore, the two labels Flex Comix and FlexComix Flare will continue to be used for the publication of paperbacks.
Important: the web comic portal releases on COMICS Meteor / COMICS Polaris differ from the physical releases under Meteor COMICS / Polaris COMICS in their spelling and the different logo design.
