MAHARAJIMA STORY
MAHARAJIMA Character Top Page

In the real world,
the Toshima Village Office in Kagoshima Prefecture is the local government that oversees the Tokara Islands.

I would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Toshima Village Board of Education, teachers at elementary and junior high schools, residents of the seven islands, and other related parties for their cooperation in the manga research over the past several weeks. I look forward to your continued support in the future

There are several videos with audio on YouTube introducing Maharajima’s illustrations and the actual island.

The order of appearance in the manga and the YouTube videos is completely different.

About copyright

TAKARAJIMA

Rather than online comics, we plan to publish A4-size color manuscripts
through Amazon‘s self-publishing service.
We believe that books are easier to present as evidence in court than online content, which is often plagiarized, as they are physical objects and can be used as evidence of distribution.

Since Ira is the sole creator, there will be no situation where multiple copyright holders exist per page.
Photography is also conducted by Ira through on-site research, making her the primary author.

In the event of an emergency, we will seek assistance from a patent attorney and lawyer based in Tokyo (Chinese and Japanese nationals).

YAMAGUCHI-NASAKEJIMA

We interviewed approximately 20 elementary and junior high schools on remote islands.
There are 12 salt makers. Thanks.

My pen-name is Ira and I am a creative based in Singapore.

The main activity is to disseminate information & preserve it for future generations through the angle of manga.

We do not use cartoons that are offensive to public order and morals.

My favorite foods are Chicken sashimi (Kagoshima) and Chicken rice (Singapore).

Recognition of Captain Legend

It takes about 3 months from the start of collection to application.

I am the fastest record holder in Japan (as of November 1, 2023).

【What is a Legendary Captain: A title that is recognized by a certain office after purchasing a gofukuin from a designated ship operator in Japan.

 As of 2023, this title is the highest rank.】

Instagram and TikTok are part of measures to prevent the creation of similar accounts.

The main account is on YouTube.
These two are just sub-accounts. I don’t actually use other social media accounts, as they are just for preventive measures to protect my account name.
