Speculation time!
Kakao Entertainment is making moves on Kadokawa, buying up shares like a savvy shopper eyeing a Black Friday deal. Rumor has it that Kakao might be gearing up for a corporate romance or a takeover, depending on how you frame it. This has likely sent Kadokawa scrambling for backup, potentially knocking on Sony’s door with a "Hey, remember our alliance? We might need to level up our partnership."
Sony, already holding a modest slice of Kadokawa's pie, has been Kadokawa’s buddy in crime for decades, helping them push anime and gaming magic to global markets.
It's like a high-stakes love triangle.
