Seven Seas Announces Plans to Publish Original “Manga”

Seven Seas Entertainment has officially announced its plans to enter the American manga industry by promoting and publishing original Japanese style comics. Seven Seas acknowledges Japan as the birthplace of manga, but “seeks to promote the concept of ‘world manga’ by collaborating with talented international writers and artists to develop stories with a universal appeal for a worldwide audience,” instead of translating Japanese manga.
