An entertainment holding company that finds stories on novel-posting sites, publishes them as light novels and manga, and grows the hits into anime and overseas licensing.
Through operating companies such as Overlap Inc. it publishes under labels including Overlap Bunko and Comic Gardo, and most of its revenue comes from light novels and manga. Sales are concentrated in a few e-book distributors and wholesalers — Media Do alone was 28.1% of sales in the year to August 2024. Hit titles are made into anime, which brings royalties as the original rights holder and a share of proceeds from the production committee, as well as licensing income from overseas. It also sells products based on other companies' IP, such as Pokemon strategy guides and soundtrack CDs.
The company tracks the number and revenue of its core IP — titles earning more than 25 million yen a year — as its growth driver. Core titles rose from 40 in the year to August 2021 to 57 in the year to August 2024, and their revenue from 4.33 billion yen to 6.33 billion yen. The year to August 2025 set records with revenue of 8.54 billion yen and profit of 2.07 billion yen, but for the year to August 2026 the company forecasts revenue down 2.8% and operating profit down 21.6%, a forecast it lowered in July 2026.
