Greetings!
Tales of the Sea by Soichi Konagaya was Retsel Mil Publications’ first publication 18 years ago. Since then, we have made tremendous progress over the years by constantly seeking ways to improve on the quality of our publications.
This year, we are pleased to announce the launch of our new publishing company Retsel Mil Japan, LLC. We would like to present to you our new products that are produced by our Japanese team. We will be partnering with Brain Co., Ltd. (Brain/Bravo Music) who prints, markets and distributes Retsel Mil Japan’s products internationally.
Continuing our focus of curating works of Asian origins, we hope the expertise from our Japanese team members will further enhance the editorial and presentation standards of our products.
As we undertake our new challenges, we look forward to serving and to have your continuous support in the future.
Yours faithfully,
Lester Lim
