Bali's HIBIKI ACADEMY Commissions Manga-Style Educational Materials from Japanese Firm

Tokyo-based NSJAPAN announced it has secured a new contract for HIBIKI ACADEMY BALI, a Japanese-language and vocational training institute in Denpasar, Bali, as part of its localized overseas-expansion support service. The manga-style creative materials will be produced by Nagoya-based LOC Inc., which specializes in manga-based business cards, brochures and landing pages.

HIBIKI ACADEMY BALI, which opened in January 2024, provides Japanese language and cultural education along with preparatory training for Indonesians seeking to work in Japan under the Technical Intern Training and Specified Skilled Worker programs. The new manga materials are intended to make the academy's curriculum and support systems easier to understand than text-only explanations.

The deal follows an earlier September 2025 announcement in which NSJAPAN reported generating roughly 7 million yen in orders for LOC through trade-show participation and direct sales visits in Bali. Contacts made during that trip reportedly led, through continued follow-up, to this latest contract.

This development is a business-to-business transaction between Japanese companies and does not directly affect tourists or general foreign residents in Bali. However, it may be of interest to residents involved with Japanese-language training or technical intern/specified skilled worker pathways, as it signals continued investment and service development at a local vocational education institution.
