In existence for 25 years at the beginning of the 1990s, Yves Schlirf set itself the goal of meeting a growing demand among them at the time: manga. Focusing on young boys and publishing mainly shônen titles, the publishing house has attracted an increasingly wide audience over the years since its creation in 1996. Among its greatest successes was the publication of Death Note in 2007, which was a resounding success.

Its greatest successes include licenses both past and present:

  • Naruto/Boruto, the great manga that continued the adventures by focusing on the son. It was the 3rd best-selling manga in France in 2017, selling 720,000 copies.
  • Assassination Classroom, a manga that is now finished, but which helped the publishing house sell 280,000 units in 2017.
