Square Enix to Launch English-Language Manga Imprint in Fall 2019
Releases confirmed as of the announcement are Soul Eater, High Score Girl, Ojisama to Neko, and the Final Fantasy XV: The Dawn of the Future novel (pictured), which saw an April debut in Japan. With these and future publications, Square Enix seeks to reach new audiences and expand its global presence.
Square Enix is known for developing, distributing, and publishing games internationally, but also publishes books and magazines within Japan. The company's manga properties, including Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater, and Kuroshitsuji, were previously licensed for distribution in the United States, but the new deal represents the first time English-language manga and books will be published under the Square Enix name.

That word alone just makes me smile.
Here is to hope that the same will happen to anime because I hate Regionlocking and seeing things go worldwide is also a sign of success!

I was confused until I read this part since I remember the FMA manga being localized by Square Enix. Here's hoping this deal would prompt them to release more Dragon Quest and Nier stuff internationally.
Great article, Blue.
