FicTones
For Partners and Sponsors
A place where stories take shapeFicTones is a creative studio dedicated to the realisation of an original long-form fantasy work as an IP — through publication, screen adaptation (animation or manga), or both. The project began with the intention of giving form to an imaginary world developed over many years, shaping it into a single, cohesive narrative.
Project Overview
The work is built upon a multi-layered world, drawing on themes from philosophy, mythology, ethics, and aesthetics. It is being developed as a long-term IP project with both publication and screen adaptation — including animation and manga — in view.
On DisclosureDetails of the work — its world, settings, plot, and characters — are kept private for reasons of IP development.For collaborators and sponsors at the consideration stage, the manuscript and world-building materials are available for review under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Progress (as of June 2026)・Manuscript of the long-form work: in progress
・World-building and reference materials: maintained internally
・Soundtracks: officially released on Apple Music following concept validation, with composition ongoing
・Professional review: in preparation
PurposeTowards the Realisation of an IPThe goal is to bring this story into the world — whether as a published work, a screen production (animation or manga), or both. The order does not matter. Through an integrated creative process uniting narrative, music, visual concepts, and design, this work aims to establish itself as an independent IP.
