Now you can see the end result, with over 100 new manga titles brought to North America, with many more on the way.

The Love and Creed of Sae Maki

The Love and Creed of Sae Maki truly brings to life the saying, “With friends like this, who needs enemies?” The top-selling Akita Publishing title in Japan, this story is intense and gripping from start to finish.
Mousy main character Misao can't believe her luck when the most popular girl in school, Sae Maki, saves her from being bullied and becomes her best friend. However, the story goes on to show that when something seems too good to be true, there's usually a good reason for that…
