I have a bunch of people to thank for helping me on the journey to this point,” says Red String Founder Victoria Esnard. “There is a lot out there that manga fans are clamoring for and these days, we are seeing a lot more mangaka speaking to those foreign fans directly online. I’m happy that Red String can help facilitate more connections by introducing new and unique stories to manga fans. I’m at the point where the help was needed, and I know the Manga Mavericks team is committed to disrupting the current manga landscape. Our values align well and our tastes in manga are totally different. The perfect partnership for diverse titles, I’d say.”
