A Graphic Novel (Manga) Publisher is For Sale
Graphic novels, or what was originally called "manga" in Japan, are currently experiencing a growth period even in this tough economy. This start-up company functions as a licensee and publisher of established and popular Japanese manga titles for the North American market. Japanese manga originated as entertainment for children, and eventually developed to include a wide array of diverse genres and is now enjoyed by young and old. Manga publishing has now become a 480 billion yen ($4.8 billion) business in Japan, and has grown to include live action films, animated films, TV dramas, and games. Manga has also become increasingly popular in North America, experiencing double digit growth from the early 2000’s. The manga market in the US is currently around $200 million. This company was founded in 2006 as the wholly owned subsidiary of one of the Japanese manga power houses. Its extensive networks through Japanese publishing industry have given it a solid advantage of selecting and acquiring Japanese manga titles of the highest artistic quality and the highest entertainment value. The company’s strength also resides in the production and editorial aspects. Because manga requires specific skills and elements in order to establish the smooth flow of pictures, words, and panels, a knowledgeable staff is a tremendous asset for you as the new owner and the staff is willing to stay and help you grow the company even further.
