Media Do Acquires Seven Seas Entertainment
Media Do has entered into an agreement with Seven Seas Entertainment to acquire the company.
Media Do is Japan’s largest eBook distribution company and owns Quality Solutions/Firebrand Technologies and NetGalley as well as Supadü which provides websites and e-commerce solutions for publishers.
Seven Seas was founded in 2004 and states it’s the “largest independently owned manga publisher in the English-language market.” The company focuses on bringing Japanese manga and light novels to English-language audiences as well as Chinese danmei, webtoons, and other works from around the globe. The company has licensed and published over 1,300 series and thousands of titles from Japan, China, South Korea, and beyond.
The collaboration allows Seven Seas to further strengthen its global distribution and provides Media Do a very larger catalogue of titles to distribute.
Seven Seas will continue to operate under its existing leadership team and editorial direction. There are no changes to distribution, publishing schedules, or core operations as a result of this transaction. All Seven Seas print imprints will continue to be distributed worldwide by Penguin Random House Publisher Services.
