From 5pb. With AG-ONE to MAGES.

Became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dwango. 5pb. The historical works under the name thus have the legal representative evolutionary background.
Capital and operational changes after 2019
On July 12, 2019, CHIYOMARU STUDIO acquired all shares held by Dwango; On April 3, 2020, COLOPL acquired all issued shares. History: On December 19, 2024, Asada became president. As of October 3, 2026, the company profile lists Makoto Asada as President and CEO, with COLOPL holding 100% of the shares.
In 2014, the development handover for Mystereet F-style was conducted
In a 2014 interview on 'Mystereet F Detectives' Curtain Call,' Asada explained that MAGES. and Abel had originally discussed a port, but the plan was shelved due to lack of successors and was subsequently taken over. At that time, about 70% of the outline left by Sugano was used, with Abel staff writing the script, then Asada reading the manuscript and discussing the writing techniques with the screenwriter.
The bonus prototype from "Twin Imagination BS" is reused
When MAGES. was considering limited edition bonuses for "Sosou BS," they found a Hanafuda prototype that had been prepared for another work but was not used, and asked the original external development company to continue producing "Koi Koi Taisen." By distributing download codes, only flyers printed with the code are produced, allowing the mini-game to include bonuses at the set cost.
In-house script production in 2022
In an interview published in September 2022, Tatsuya Matsubara explained that MAGES. formed a dedicated six-person scriptwriting team under Naotaka Hayashi, so each work could be written in-house without needing to outsource scripts.
