UDON Entertainment has announced that it has entered into a new book market distribution agreement with Simon & Schuster, one of the world’s premier publishers and distributors of books. This deal is effective April 1st, 2025, and marks UDON’s departure from its previous book market distribution arrangement with Diamond Book Distributors.

UDON Entertainment is one of the world’s leading publishers of officially licensed art books, manga, and comic books, specializing in video game and anime materials and classic and unique manga titles.

Retailers and readers can expect a seamless transition, with Simon & Schuster handling new releases and backlist titles for all UDON books for the book trade worldwide (where licenses permit). Retailers can place orders for new titles and backlist items through Simon & Schuster starting today. For comic book specialty retailers, aka the Direct Market, UDON Entertainment titles will also be available through Lunar Distribution, Universal Distribution, and Diamond Comics Distribution. For customers, all pre-orders through your favorite retail outlets should be filled as normal.
