Japanese manga originated as entertainment for children, and eventually developed into entertainment for youth. It has expanded to include such a wide array of diverse genres that it is now enjoyed by adults, young and old. One of the reasons why Japanese manga has been so successful is because it uniquely describes human emotions. Many of the greatest Japanese manga works explore why we love, why we hate, or why we betray those that are close to us. They investigate fundamental and universal human themes. It is Aurora’s mission to introduce the highest quality Japanese manga titles to the wider population of North America, and develop the manga market here for a more mature audience. In order to provide North American readers with the best titles in a variety of genres, Aurora Publishing, Inc. has organized a consortium with several other manga publishers in Japan. Aurora Publishing, Inc. believes that its manga will find its own treasured place in your heart and its own treasured place in worldwide entertainment.
