ABOUT

One Peace Books was founded in 2006 to translate and publish Japanese entertainment and literature for a North American audience. As the brainchild of successful Japanese publisher Sanctuary Books, One Peace Books occupies a unique place in the publishing industry—able to fully leverage connections and industry knowledge to publish Japanese literature in translation.

As One Peace Books has grown, we’ve utilized those connections and passions to expand our list to include popular series such as The Rising of the Shield Hero, which has sold over 1 million copies in the US alone and over 11 million copies worldwide, and I Hear the Sunspot, which was nominated a Best Graphic Novel for Teens by the American Library Association.

Publishing popular Japanese entertainment and literature is, in our own small way, an attempt to show that it truly is not language or borders that divide us. We believe that art and entertainment is an infectious, necessary, endlessly enjoyable way to bring diverse sets of people together to share in a singular cause or emotion.
