About Us
We publish stories
that deserve to be told.
Hanashi Media is an independent digital publishing house focused on light novels and serialized fiction. We believe great stories shouldn't be limited by geography, language barriers, or the constraints of traditional publishing.
Our Story
Hanashi Media was born out of a simple frustration: too many exceptional light novels, manga adaptations, and serialized stories were either out of print, unavailable in English, or buried under the noise of algorithmic content delivery.
We started in 2023 as a small team of readers, writers, and translators who wanted to build something different — a platform where quality comes first, where authors are treated as partners, and where readers can discover stories that genuinely surprise them.
Today, Hanashi Media operates under two imprints: Hanashi for mainstream light novel releases, and Regin Chronicles for darker, more mature serialized fiction. Each title in our catalog is selected personally by our editorial team.
What We Stand For
Story First
Every decision we make — editorial, design, pricing — is evaluated against one question: does this serve the story and the reader?
Author Partnership
We offer flexible agreements, transparent royalties, and a team that genuinely cares about the long-term success of each author we work with.
Global Reach
Our digital-first model means your favorite title can reach readers anywhere in the world the moment it's published.
No Dark Patterns
No surprise subscriptions, no algorithmic manipulation, no artificial urgency. Just honest commerce and great literature.
