okay, bit of background history first, since the company behind this is kind of a niche thing.
Nippon Ichi Software is a Japan-based game company known for developing and publishing strategy RPGs, most notably the Disgaea series. while they didn't revolutionize the strategy RPG scene and were rather unknown during the early and middle periods of the PS2 (arguably their most well-known era), NIS did put some interesting spins in their SRPG titles, both in gameplay and worldbuilding. i can't think of another game where i can be a lv9999 13-year-old demon overlord with an army of exploding penguins and spend more of my time in the randomized dungeon in my sword than progressing through the story.
erm, it makes more sense if i explain the context, but that's not the point right now.
despite being a Japan-based company, NIS does have a branch in the US, known as NIS America. as you'd guess, NIS America handles the localization and overseas publishing of NIS's titles, as well as non-NIS games like Dangan Ronpa and Hyperdimension Neptunia. the less i say about the latter series, the better.
some years ago, NIS America also handled the publishing of various anime in US like Toradora and Anohana, as well as... children's books?
