“Digital Manga, Inc. (DMI) is one of the industry’s most unconventional and innovative companies, specializing in building corporate and cultural bridges from Japan to the Western Hemisphere— specifically through the licensing, importation, and preparation of anime (Japanese animation), manga (Japanese comic books) and related merchandise for the North American mainstream and subculture markets. In this capacity, DMI serves as a catalyst for the expansion of Japanese pop culture institutions into global arenas.”

About Us page.
Digital Manga, Inc. (DMI) was founded in 2003.1 DMI originally partnered with other publishing companies to publish manga series, such as partnering with Dark Horse to release Berserk. However, in 2004, as a joint partnership with Penguin Group USA, Digital Manga Publishing (DMP) was established releasing manga and novels under DMI.2
Digital Manga’s iconic BL imprint, Juné, launched in early 2005 with the website Yaoi-Manga.com, although series were not technically published under it until the release of Eiki Eiki’s The Art of Loving in April 2006.3
801 Media was launched as a sister imprint of Juné, aiming to publish more mature BL works.
Their DokiDoki imprint was launched in 2009, in partnership with Japanese publisher Shinshokan.
As of 2025, most of DMP’s licenses have lapsed or expired, including all publications under their DokiDoki imprint, and most publications under their flagship imprint, DMP. In addition, the social media accounts for DMP and Juné have been inactive since 2024.
