Note written 2026-08-25; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A Kairosoft management sim where you run a Doraemon-themed dorayaki (red bean pastry) shop, combining the studio's signature tycoon formula with Shonen Jump IP.

This title sits in an interesting blind spot: a licensed Doraemon game from an operating studio with a 98% positive rating and solid four-figure monthly residuals, yet almost no player growth or dev engagement in 17 months post-launch. The IP lock and Kairosoft's cult fanbase mean revival or licensing discussions require Shonen Jump involvement, but the current dormancy and flat discount history suggest the original publisher may have underinvested in regional marketing or seasonal campaigns. Worth monitoring if the license permits sublicensing or if Kairosoft moves it in-house. Most realistic play: watch.

  • Risk: Doraemon is owned by Shonen Jump; any new publishing, regional push or revival requires their approval and likely revenue share adjustment.
  • Risk: Player base is tiny and flat despite strong sentiment; no discount activity in 12 months suggests either contractual restrictions or publisher deprioritization.
  • Risk: Review volume is very low (6 per month average) and skewed heavily toward Chinese and Japanese markets, raising questions about English-language discoverability.
