What is sweatdrop?

Sweatdrop is a UK-based small press manga-style comic publisher, which was founded in 2001 by seven artists who shared a love of Japanese anime and manga. The company specializes in creating original English language manga (OEL manga) and focuses on producing high-quality work with a professional look and feel.

Sweatdrop's artists work across a range of genres, including romance, comedy, action, fantasy, horror, and science fiction. They produce both series and one-off stories and often tackle complex issues such as mental health, LGBTQ+ themes, and social issues.

Sweatdrop's publications are available to purchase through their online store and at various comic book conventions throughout the UK. The company also runs workshops and talks on manga and comic creation, often in collaboration with schools, libraries, and museums.

Sweatdrop has received numerous accolades for its work, including the 2005 Independent Publishers Guild Award for Best Graphic Novel, and its artists have appeared in various publications and art exhibitions worldwide.
