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 themes. It is
Aurora's mission to introduce the highest quality manga titles to
the wider population of North America and to the rest of the world, and to
develop the manga market for a more mature audience. In order to provide
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.
