## 🌈 The future that Tokaeru aims for

Tokael is more than just a barter platform. What we aim for is a new form of manga culture that:

1. **Circular Manga Ecosystem**:
Manga that have been read end up in the hands of new readers, creating a virtuous cycle that extends the lifespan of the work.

2. **Diverse reading experience**:
By lowering the economic barrier, we provide an environment where more people can experience a variety of works.

3. **Coexistence of digital and physical**:
In parallel with the spread of e-books, we need to reaffirm the value of paper books and foster a culture that takes advantage of the best aspects of both.

4. **Support for creative activities**:
Encounters with a variety of works will provide inspiration for new creations, leading to the revitalization of manga culture as a whole.

We will continue to update with the aim of handling all books other than manga.

## 📢 Message from the developer

We, the Tokael development team, created this app with the desire to provide a new manga experience to everyone who loves manga.

Manga is more than just entertainment. It has the power to move us, offer new perspectives, and sometimes change lives. However, many people may not be able to try new works due to limited budget or storage space.

Tokael aims to remove such barriers and become a platform where more people can encounter more wonderful works.

At the same time, we also value the creation of a sustainable consumer culture. We believe that once a manga has been read, it does not remain dormant, but instead reaches new readers, extending the lifespan of the work and contributing to the effective use of resources.

Why not give the manga sleeping on your bookshelf a chance to embark on a new journey through Tokaeru? And please enjoy encountering new stories yourself.

Tokaeru promises to be a reliable partner that brings new joy and discovery to your manga life.

Now, let's open the door to a new manga experience. We look forward to seeing you at Tokael.
