Hello Fellow Manga and Anime Lovers,

My name is Josh Gazmin, and I’m thrilled to be part of the vibrant world of Otabushi. As I take you through my journey, you’ll see that my roots in manga and anime run deep, nourished by legendary tales from Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece.

During my younger years, these stories weren’t just fleeting moments of entertainment. They were life lessons and companions, guiding me through challenges and inspiring me to chase after my dreams. I vividly remember Naruto’s unwavering determination, emphasizing, “I’m not gonna run away, I never go back on my word!” That spirit of commitment and resilience has profoundly shaped my outlook, and it’s something I embody at Otabushi daily.

While I once dabbled in the world of drawing, it became clear that my strengths lay elsewhere. But that realization only amplified my respect and passion for manga and anime. Now, I see it as my mission to elevate and champion European manga and anime. To support the talented artists who have captivating tales to tell and to ensure their stories find the recognition they truly deserve.

At Otabushi, we’re not just a publishing house; we’re a community. A community dedicated to nurturing talent, fostering creativity, and ensuring every story, every sketch, every line finds its rightful place in the hearts of readers.

So, whether you’re an aspiring artist yearning to make a mark or a fellow manga enthusiast, know that with Otabushi, you’re in good hands. Together, let’s pen a chapter that leaves an indelible mark on the European manga landscape.

Here’s to our shared adventures and the many stories awaiting us,
Josh Gazmin
