Since the inception, We have worked with Japan’s Shueisha, Kadokawa Group, Kodansha, and Shogakukan to introduce copyrighted works from overseas. Since 2016, we have also been exporting original anime works. We currently cooperate with partners in Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, the UK, the US, Canada, and South Africa, covering four languages, over 100 pieces of authorized comics, and 35 pieces of authorized animations. ‘Once Upon A Time, There Was A Spirit Sword Mountain’, ‘Fox Spirit Matchmaker’, ‘The Outcast’ and more have been broadcasted or published in Japan.
In March 2019, WeComics, the international version of Tencent Animation and Comics, launched in North America. It also rolled out in 32 other countries and regions including Southeast Asia and the European Union within the following six months to provide high-quality Chinese comics for overseas users. WeComics is available in English and Indonesian.
