Pommu is a next-generation social platform designed specifically for anime, manga, and digital art lovers. Developed by EISYS Inc., the parent company of the renowned DLsite, Pommu is Japan's innovative solution to global social media burnout. Instead of endless algorithms and noise, Pommu focuses on creative freedom, community engagement, and authentic cultural expression.
What Is Pommu?
Pommu serves as a vibrant meeting point for creators and fans. Whether you're an illustrator, writer, cosplayer, or just a passionate fan, Pommu offers a space to share, collaborate, and connect with others who love Japanese pop culture.
Users can post:
-
Text updates up to 1,000 characters
-
Images or links to digital works listed on DLsite
The platform offers two main timeline tabs:
-
Following: View posts only from creators or fans you follow
-
Public: Explore posts from across the entire Pommu network
This layout ensures that every user experiences a balance between personalized content and community discovery.
The Vision Behind Pommu
Pommu was created as a digital hub for otaku culture - a friendly, safe space where creativity thrives without judgment. EISYS Inc. envisioned Pommu as a platform where fans and artists could share their ideas freely, without the constraints or censorship often found on mainstream social media.
Here, users are encouraged to explore all forms of art:
-
Anime and manga illustrations
-
Fan comics and indie games
-
Cosplay photography and digital creations
Pommu also embraces artistic freedom, offering an environment where even adult creators can safely express themselves. Thanks to a unique R18 content switch, users can choose to display or hide mature content according to their preferences - ensuring comfort and respect for all.
Furthermore, Pommu integrates seamlessly with viviON ID (used on DLsite), allowing users to switch effortlessly between creative sharing on Pommu and digital purchasing on DLsite. This ecosystem transforms DLsite's marketplace into a dynamic, interactive community.
Key Features That Make Pommu Stand Out
1. Transparent, Chronological Feed
Pommu's feed is chronological, not algorithm-based. Every post appears in the order it's shared - giving creators equal visibility and allowing fans to discover new art in real time. This transparency fosters authentic engagement between artists and audiences.
2. R18 Content Switch
Pommu's R18 content toggle is one of its most notable features. Users can switch between Normal and R18 modes, fully controlling what they want to see. This makes Pommu a personalized, inclusive environment for both general and adult creators.
3. Deep DLsite Integration
Built directly into the DLsite ecosystem, Pommu lets creators promote, showcase, and sell their work effortlessly. This feature ensures that artists not only gain exposure but also have monetization opportunities within a trusted creative platform.
4. Creator-Centered Tools
From artwork and mini-comics to videos and short posts, Pommu supports various creative formats. The user-friendly interface is designed for simplicity and expression - no unnecessary clutter, no engagement farming, just pure creativity.
5. A Community for True Fans
Pommu isn't about popularity contests - it's about passion. Whether you love anime art, game modding, fan fiction, or manga reviews, you'll find like-minded creators and fans who share your enthusiasm and respect your craft.
Conclusion: Pommu Is the Future of Otaku Social Media
Pommu represents a return to the roots of online creativity - where passion, imagination, and community come first. Backed by EISYS Inc., the creator of DLsite, this platform bridges the gap between creative expression and digital commerce, empowering artists and fans alike.
If you're seeking a safe, inspiring, and authentic community to share your anime or digital art passion, Pommu is the place to be - a social network built by creators, for creators.
