All we want is to produce the most exciting manga we can for readers. As a result, we have became one of the biggest manga publishing companies in Japan. Our titles are richly diverse in genre, expressing the gamut of human emotions and can be enjoyed by people from different backgrounds all over the world. The manga series we are showcasing here, including bestsellers like <em>Attack on Titan<\/em>, are just a small portion of our list. In fact, there are far too many manga series we want to introduce to fans in America. Therefore we\u2019ve even made a new company to help people discover manga in a new way in this digital era. Hopefully, we can encourage even more people to enjoy manga.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.j-pop.com\/events\/interactive-pavilion\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.j-pop.com\/2015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/theta_anime.jpg\" alt=\"\" width+'600\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>\u25c9 #CaptureTheTitan with <a href=\"https:\/\/theta360.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">RICOH THETA<\/a>!<\/strong><br \/>\nAug 8 &#038; 9 | 10:30am-8:30pm | J-POP SUMMIT Pass available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.j-pop.com\/tickets2015\/\">HERE<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.j-pop.com\/events\/interactive-pavilion\/\">INTERACTIVE Pavilion<\/a>, Fort Mason Center<br \/>\nDon\u2019t miss your chance to see the Colossal Titan in person.
