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.

A LETTER FROM THE WIZARDS
Our journey began back in 2013, and over the years, we’ve maintained a small yet dedicated team.
Flora and Hayami are devoted fans of anime and manga, and for the rest of us—we’re excited to share our love for these magical worlds with book lovers and lifelong learners of all ages, especially in the heart of Southeast Asia.
Graphic novels and manga open the door to a world where pictures and words come together, creating something visually captivating and intellectually stimulating.
With a balance of art and story, manga allows readers to enjoy a narrative that’s not weighed down by heavy text, making it perfect for anyone who might be hesitant about traditional reading, while still sparking the imagination.
If you’re unsure where to begin or continue with your manga journey, we’re here to guide you with some enchanted recommendations.
We want to make sure our readers have access to the best from the vast and magical library of SHOGAKUKAN INC.
Let’s explore together!
