Publishing Division

Production and sales business of books and calendars

The Publishing Division plans, produces, and sells books and calendars.

In terms of books, under the "ShoPro Books" label, we publish a wide range of books that meet public needs, including international comics, non-fiction, books for children, art books, business books and so on.

In particular, we have been translating and publishing American comics since 1994, such as "Batman", "Spider-Man", and "The Avengers", which have recently been turned into movies.

In January 2021, we concluded a master agreement with Marvel Entertainment, LLC. We are authorized to publish Japanese translations of all Marvel comics in Japan, including digital distribution.

Regarding calendars, we plan, produce, and sell calendars featuring characters such as "Doraemon", “Pokémon", and "SPY×FAMILY”.

We are also actively engaged in the planning and development of new content, such as the distribution of the “Detective Conan Calendar & Widget”, a multifunctional tool for smartphones, limited distribution sales through the official ShoPro Books online store, and the operation of an e-commerce site that plans and sells art products such as original reproductions of illustrations by Japanese illustrators in conjunction with the publication of the books. We are also actively engaged in the planning and development of new content.
