OUR STORY

THE STUDIO

Founded by four industry veterans, BW NYC Studios bridges the gap between authentic manga art and global IP development.

Our Mission

We believe that true IP value comes from authentic, compelling characters and stories. Our mission is to transform brand assets—especially in the sports and entertainment sectors—into living, breathing universes that resonate globally.

By combining Acky Bright's world-class manga art with strategic business development, we create IPs that don't just look good—they scale across animation, gaming, merchandise, and beyond. We are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between professional sports and anime culture.
