The Dawn of a Journey
Our parent company, SHOGAKUKAN Inc., was founded on August 8, 1922, as a publishing house focused on educational magazines for elementary school children and teachers in Japan. Over time, SHOGAKUKAN grew both in size and variety, expanding its publications to meet the needs of readers of all ages and backgrounds.
Today, SHOGAKUKAN Inc. is a leading publisher of manga and other materials in Japan, producing over 60 magazines, 8,000 books, 13,000 manga titles, 800 magazine-books, and 4,000 DVDs annually (as of 2013).
With a strong presence in Japan, SHOGAKUKAN is actively expanding internationally, with offices in San Francisco, Paris, Shanghai, and Taiwan. Given the rapid growth of Asian markets, SHOGAKUKAN Inc. is focused on further strengthening its presence in the region.
The Path Ahead
SHOGAKUKAN ASIA (SA) is a fully-owned subsidiary of SHOGAKUKAN INC., where we operate as a division of the original license holder.
Since our establishment in September 2013, SA has published over 130 manga titles and 20 children's educational books.

A letter from us
We started our journey in 2013 with a small, dedicated team.
Some of us are lifelong manga fans, some of us discovered it along the way—but all of us share the same joy in bringing good stories to readers across Southeast Asia.
Manga has a way of blending words and pictures into something both comforting and inspiring. It’s easy to pick up, yet full of depth for anyone who wants to get lost in a story.
If you’re not sure where to start, or just looking for your next favourite series, we’re here to share a few suggestions—like friends passing you a book they think you’ll enjoy.
Here’s to finding your next good read together.
