Detail
Ridi revealed that their popular webtoon 'Under the Oak Tree' has been translated into Japanese and released as a manga. This romance fantasy, originally a web novel, narrates the love story between a shy noblewoman and a knight from commoner roots.
The Japanese version is published by Kadokawa, a prominent local entertainment conglomerate. The webtoon has already garnered widespread popularity in Japan, generating over 10 billion KRW (approximately $7.6 million USD) in transactions within six months of its online serialization. The overwhelming demand led to the first volume of the manga being reprinted just one day after its initial release.
Ridi further announced plans to release an English edition of 'Under the Oak Tree' in collaboration with Penguin Random House this September. The company is striving to broaden its intellectual property’s global reach through continuous partnerships with international companies, embarking on new ventures.
