Founded in 1976.

On March 8 2010, Fantagraphics announced that they were starting a manga line.

Their goal is to bring unique and thought-provoking manga to the English market, as well as to insure that each book has the highest production values.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary, the publisher has announced Takumigraphics, an imprint solely dedicated to East Asian comics that spans manga, manhwa, manhua and more from the countries in the region.

Use Takumigraphics for titles that will be under the imprint, otherwise use Fantagraphics.
