Seven Seas Entertainment

Seven Seas Entertainment was founded by Jason DeAngelis in 2004 with the goal of creating original English-language manga. Initial launch titles were Amazing Agent Luna, Last Hope, No Man's Land, and DeAngelis's own Blade For Barter. Their best-known OEL manga is probably Aoi House. Well, the best-known one that hasn't become an anime yet. They are also publishing the children's book series Avalon: Web of Magic and its spinoff OEL manga. Recently, they've teamed up with Pixie Trix Comix putting their original works alongside Ménage à 3, Eerie Cuties, Magick Chicks and School Bites, This webcomic line, called ZOOM Comics includes the titles: Vampire Cheerleaders, Paranormal Mystery Squad, Dracula Everlasting, and a prequel to Amazing Agent Luna: Amazing Agent Jennifer.

They have also since expanded to provide licenses of original Japanese works such as:


 * A Certain Scientific Railgun
 * Dance in the Vampire Bund
 * Girl Friends (licensed in November 2011 to be released in 2012-2013)
 * Gunslinger Girl
 * First Love Sisters
 * Hayate X Blade
 * He Is My Master
 * Inukami!
 * Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl
 * The Last Uniform
 * Toradora!
 * Strawberry Panic!
 * Tetragrammaton Labyrinth
 * Venus Versus Virus
 * Witch Hunter
 * At one point they had the license to Kodomo no Jikan - retitled Nymphet - for a (very) short time. The title was dropped prior to release when major bookstore chains refused to stock it. Jason DeAngelis also said that after seeing later issues of the manga, the Squick level was so high that he in good conscience (and possibly legally, given US law at the time) could not publish the manga.
