Studio White

Studio White is the adaptation-focused webcomic label launched by LINE Digital Frontier with REDICE STUDIO and KADOKAWA in April 2026. The label matters because it brings rights ownership, production capacity, and platform distribution into one operating structure instead of treating each franchise adaptation as a separate one-off deal.

The official launch slate showed the strategy immediately. Studio White opened around a new Record of Lodoss War webcomic and also announced plans tied to Sword Art Online, Slayers, and The Familiar of Zero. That is not random catalog mining. It is a deliberate play for proven Japanese fantasy IP that can travel through vertical-scroll format and multilingual rollout.

For HITKULTR, Studio White matters because it sits inside the next phase of adaptation infrastructure. Premium webcomic growth increasingly depends on repeatable co-production systems, and this label was built from day one to turn major franchise libraries into platform-native global releases for WEBTOON.
