Hello,
I'm stuck in a problem and maybe someone can help me.

The company I'm working in is planning to publish (for the first time) comics for the italian market. They asked me to find some interesting USA and manga comics.

For the USA comics there were no problems: all the publishers I contacted via email have replied telling me their conditions and license prices.

Instead, I'm having a lot of problems with Manga publishers: often I don't find a dedicated email for this kind of requests and they don't reply.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong that I don't understand or I have to use a different approach.

Anyone can help me with this problem?

thanks,
Stefano

I'd imagine for manga you would want to contact the original licensor in Japan rather than the licensees here in the U.S.

Usually smaller companies work with Tuttle Mori Agency to get a license? Try using them! Some Japanese publishers have contact emails on their website for license requests.
