Original Japanese goods, only from authorised sellers
Japanese publishers, studios, toy makers and their licensed vendors open a verified storefront in a digital showroom. Subscribers browse anime, manga, toys and character merchandise and buy directly from the seller. No unlicensed resellers, no commission: the platform earns a membership fee by tier.
How it works
Step 1
Register
A Japanese company, or a vendor it has authorised, applies with proof of authorisation and the list of what it wants to sell.
Step 2
Verify
Our team checks the rights chain by hand before any storefront goes live.
Step 3
Display
Verified items appear in a 3D showroom with spatial audio and an optional VR walk-through.
Step 4
Sell direct
Subscribers buy straight from the seller at the seller's price. The platform takes no commission.

Marketplace terms and disclaimers
Manthra Tech Ventures Inc. is a separate company from HealthyManthra. It operates vendor marketplaces and does not provide health, clinical or medical services.
- Independent sellers. Items are listed and sold by independent sellers. Manthra Tech Ventures is not the seller, does not hold the goods, and is not a party to the sale between buyer and seller.
- Checkout happens on the seller's site. Buying sends you to the seller's own checkout. Payment, delivery, returns and refunds are handled by that seller under its own terms and the consumer-protection law that applies to you.
- Authenticity and licences. Sellers state their own authenticity, provenance and licensing. Club, league, park and brand sellers are asked for proof of authorisation, but we do not guarantee any item and are not affiliated with or endorsed by any team, league, park or rights holder unless a listing says so.
- Seller verification. A verified badge means a seller's application was reviewed. It is not a warranty of quality, price or conduct.
- Fees and membership. Sellers pay a monthly tier fee. Buyers browse free and get a limited number of purchase clicks each month before a membership is needed. Fees are shown before you commit.
- Prohibited and regulated goods. Counterfeits, stolen goods and items that are illegal in the buyer's or seller's country are not allowed. Sellers are responsible for export, import, tax and age-restriction rules.
- Your data. We keep what we need to run the marketplace: your account, your clicks and your listings. We do not sell it. This is not a health portal; do not enter health information here.
Draft wording; counsel reviews it before it is relied on in a given market.
