Founded on the belief that stories can connect people across time, experience, and imagination, Studio Nagai creates original works that explore identity, memory, purpose, and what it means to be human.
Our flagship series, ONE2: Memories of Hona, represents the beginning of a larger creative journey. One that spans worlds, characters, and ideas that challenge readers to look beyond the surface of reality.
More than a publisher, Studio Nagai is a home for original stories. Every project begins with a simple question:
What does it mean to be?
Through visual storytelling, character-driven narratives, and immersive worlds, we seek to create experiences that resonate long after the final page has been turned.
Whether you’re discovering a new chapter, exploring concept art, or following the development of future projects, you’re invited to become part of the journey.
To create worlds worth exploring, stories worth remembering, and characters whose journeys reflect the questions we all carry within us.
The journey begins here.
Volume I — A Skiptracers Tale
The first chapter in an evolving saga of memory, identity, redemption, and being.

Everything you do leaves a mark. The question is not whether your life is art, but what story it tells.

Forging is not what we create. Forging is how we choose to exist.
