Media Do International Acquires Seven Seas Entertainment
Media Do highlights its LLM AI-based translation system in announcing US$80 million acquisition
Media Do International, the California-based subsidiary of e-book distributor Media Do Holdings, announced on Sunday that it has acquired manga and light novel publisher Seven Seas Entertainment. Nikkei reports that Media Do International acquired Seven Seas for US$80 million.
The announcement reported that Seven Seas will continue to operate under its current leadership team and editorial direction, and will not change its distribution, publishing schedules, and core operations, with Seven Seas books continuing to be distributed by Penguin Random House Publishing Services worldwide.
Media Do highlighted the acquisition as part of its push for worldwide distribution, underpinned by the role of its large language model AI-based "MediaDo Translation System" (MDTS) as a crucial part of that process alongside the acquisition of Seven Seas. Media Do announced the development of the MDTS in April 2025.
