Pommu is a next-generation social network for anime, manga, and digital art fans. This app is a good platform to collaborate with creators and fans. Developed by EISYS Inc., the parent company of the renowned DLsite, Pommu is Japan's answer to global social media fatigue. Creative freedom and cultural expression are at the center, not algorithms and information overload.
Users can post texts of up to 1,000 characters, as well as images or links to works available for purchase on DLSite. Posts are displayed in a timeline view with two main tabs:
- Following: Shows only updates from users you follow.
- Public: Shows all posts from the entire network, even from users you don't follow.
The Vision Behind Pommu
Pommu is a digital hub for otaku culture. EISYS Inc. created Pommu as a "friendly and safe haven" where fans and artists can freely share their fantasies without the constraints of mainstream networks.
The platform encourages users to explore and celebrate their passions - whether it's anime illustrations, fan comics, indie games, or elaborate cosplay photography.
It also encourages artistic freedom. Pommu provides a safe, inclusive, and expressive environment where adult creators can communicate freely. Thanks to a unique R18 content switch, users can control the visibility of adult content.
With Pommu, EISYS goes a step further and transforms the static marketplace model into a dynamic social hub. By integrating with the viviON ID system (the same login as DLsite), Pommu provides a seamless user experience, allowing users to easily switch between creative sharing and digital purchases within the DLsite ecosystem.

A key feature of Pommu is the R18 content switch. Users can toggle between "Normal" and "R18" modes, giving them complete control over their chosen content—a personalized control system that respects both creators and viewers.
3. DLsite Integration
Pommu is directly connected to DLsite, allowing creators to seamlessly promote or sell their digital creations. This integration ensures visibility and monetization for artists, while also maintaining an authentic and community-oriented experience.

Pommu prioritizes creators, providing customizable posting formats for artwork, short comics, videos, and text updates. The intuitive user interface allows artists to express themselves without unnecessary clutter or restrictions.
5. An Open Community
