Founded in July 2020, extra mile is a 100% subsidiary of TV Asahi Music and focuses on IP content businesses leveraging Web3 technologies. Its flagship product, HANASEE, converts written novels or scripts into high-quality manga by coordinating specialized AI agents for illustration, scripting, and panel layout, thereby overcoming consistency issues typical of generative image tools. The system automatically optimizes comic-specific elements such as eye-guidance and page-turn rhythm, while allowing creators to direct and fine-tune story details through dialogue with the AI agents. extra mile is also building “Xross Road,” an IP creation and distribution infrastructure that will let HANASEE-generated works be published and sold with transparent revenue-sharing; a rights-management system is slated for launch by 2026. The company offers existing IP holders a rapid, low-cost way to test markets and expand franchises via manga adaptations. Proceeds from the latest financing will be used to strengthen the development team behind HANASEE.
