I can confirm that most of Mamoru Hosoda's books—like 'The Boy and the Beast' artbooks—are published by Kadokawa. They specialize in light novels and manga, and their releases are packed with vibrant illustrations and behind-the-scenes tidbits. Hosoda’s film tie-ins, such as 'Mirai' or 'Summer Wars,' often get companion novels under Kadokawa’s Fujimi Shobo imprint. Their translations are hit-or-miss, but the physical copies are gorgeous, with glossy covers and color inserts. If you’re into film theory, his director’s notes are sometimes bundled with limited-edition Blu-rays by Madhouse or Toho.
I've noticed that 'Mam's books'—assuming you mean the works by Mamoru Oshii—are primarily published by Kodansha. Kodansha is one of Japan's biggest publishers, handling iconic titles like 'Ghost in the Shell' and 'Attack on Titan.' They've also released his lesser-known essays and art books, which dive deep into his philosophical musings on film and storytelling. If you're looking for international releases, Viz Media and Dark Horse have localized some of his works, especially the 'Ghost in the Shell' series, which is a must-read for cyberpunk fans.
For his anime-related projects, Production I.G often collaborates with him, but Kodansha remains the go-to for his written works. Their quality is impeccable, from paper stock to translation accuracy. If you're a collector, I'd recommend hunting down Kodansha's limited editions—they often include bonus content like concept art or interviews. Fun fact: Kodansha also published 'The Red Spectacles,' a cult classic tied to his 'Kerberos Saga,' which blends noir and dystopia in a way only Oshii can.
Mam's books? If you mean the cozy mystery series by M.C. Beaton, those are published by Constable & Robinson in the UK and St. Martin's Press in the US. Her 'Agatha Raisin' and 'Hamish Macbeth' series are perfect for fans of witty, small-town whodunits. Constable’s editions have charming cover art that captures the quirky vibe of the stories. St. Martin’s tends to prioritize audiobooks, with narrators like Penelope Keith bringing the characters to life. Both publishers keep her backlist in print, which is great for binge-readers.
For Mamoru Oda’s doujinshi—self-published fan works—he often sells them at Comiket or through MelonBooks. His circle, 'Mam’s Kitchen,' is known for parodying 'JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure' with a culinary twist. These aren’t mainstream, but you can find them on Toranoana or Mandarake for resale. Physical copies are rare, so digital versions on DLsite might be easier to grab.

I stumbled upon the 'Little Treasures Reading Ma' series while browsing for children's books, and it quickly became a favorite in our household. The series is published by Beijing United Publishing Co., Ltd., a well-known publisher in China that specializes in educational and children's literature. Their books are beautifully illustrated and designed to foster a love of reading in young kids. I appreciate how the stories blend traditional values with modern storytelling, making them both engaging and meaningful. The publisher has a reputation for high-quality content, and this series is no exception. It's a gem for parents looking to introduce their children to the joys of reading early on.
