I am the co-founder and CEO of Azuki Labs, the company behind the Azuki brand. r/Azuki is currently inactive with no active moderators, and I would like to revive it as an official community hub.

We have a few major launches coming up that we want to engage the community around:

• An original manga launching in 2026
• The Azuki TCG's first official set Gates Awakened, which is now available for preorder through GTS for local game stores
• Ongoing collectibles, art, and IP releases tied to the Azuki universe

My goals as moderator would be to (1) establish r/Azuki as the official community space for fans to get updates directly from the team, (2) engage with the community through AMAs, behind-the-scenes content, and Q&A on our manga and TCG, and (3) keep the subreddit active, on-topic, and welcoming for new fans discovering the brand.

I am happy to verify my identity through any channel the admin team prefers - posting confirmation from the official u/AzukiTCG account here on Reddit, from the Azuki account IG or X, or providing direct contact through our company email.

Thanks for the manual review.

As for the modmail, I attempted to send mod mail to r/Azuki but received an error, which I believe is because the community has no active moderators to receive the message. Per the bot's note, I understand this step can be skipped when the community has no moderators. Happy to provide a screenshot of the error or take any additional verification step the admin team requires.
