(October 7, 2024) —Seven Seas Entertainment is proud to announce its twenty-year anniversary, celebrating two decades of bringing beloved stories from around the world to English-language audiences. Founded by Jason DeAngelis, Seven Seas began its journey on October 25, 2004 with OEL (original English-language) manga, later expanding into Japanese manga and light novels. Since then, the company has evolved into a prolific and diverse publisher, renowned for its innovative catalog of comics, novels, and audiobooks from creators across the globe. Seven Seas‘ publications have won numerous awards and accolades and have regularly hit the New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller lists.
As the #1 independently owned manga and light novel publisher in the English-language market, Seven Seas is recognized for its commitment to high-quality publications and for championing unique voices from Asia and beyond. Some of its recent achievements include adapting popular light novels and other Asian novels into a rapidly growing audiobook catalog, publishing a wide selection of full-color graphic novel print editions from “webtoon” digital comics from South Korea and other countries, and pioneering the English-language release of Chinese-language danmei (Boys’ Love) novels in bookstores around the world.
President and CEO Jason DeAngelis had this to say regarding the commemoration of twenty years:
“Like the adventurers of old, our mission at Seven Seas has always been to seek out and discover treasures, and share them with fans across the globe. The past twenty years have been a thrilling journey, watching the manga industry blossom and thrive. Here’s to the next twenty years of bringing readers the stories they love!”
To honor this milestone, Seven Seas will host a social media celebration throughout October featuring daily giveaways, exciting new features, and highlights that showcase the rich tapestry of the company’s twenty years in business.
