Manga Productions is a branch of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Foundation, abbreviated MiSK after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. The company plans to create anime, comics, and video game projects in order to promote Saudi ideas and messages on a global scale. In October 2017, MiSK and Japan’s Digital Hollywood University signed an agreement to train Saudi Arabian artists and programmers in fields such as animation and gaming.
