PAGE / 01About Marano

A publisher built on craft and commerce.

Since 2015, Marano Comic World has grown from a boutique localization studio in Bangkok into a leading integrated comic and novel publisher for Thailand and Southeast Asia.

SECTION / 01Our Story

From a single shelf to Southeast Asia's most trusted publisher.

Marano Comic World was founded in 2015 with a single conviction: that great stories, regardless of their original language, deserve to reach readers in a form that feels native, respectful, and alive.

Over the past decade, we have grown from a specialist localization studio in Bangkok into a full-service comic and novel publisher operating across Thailand and the wider Southeast Asian market — with an in-house production pipeline, a dedicated performance marketing team, and an integrated distribution network spanning both digital and retail.
