Penguin Random House Publisher Services announced on Friday that it has reached a multi-year sales and distribution agreement with Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd.’s American subsidiary Square Enix, Inc. to launch a line of English-language manga, novels, and art books.
However, the new agreement marks the first time that Square Enix will directly publish books in English under its own name.
Square Enix previously licensed manga such as Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater, and Black Butler to United States publishers.
Square Enix had confirmed in February that the novel will get an overseas version.
