While Microsoft has become the main character of acquisitions in corporate culture with its $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard, a new report suggests Sony is gearing up for a big buyout that will propel it even further to the top of the totem pole of monopolizing the anime industry.

Sony Group Corp. is in discussions to acquire Japanese content publisher Kadokawa Corp., Reuters reported, citing two unidentified people familiar with the matter.

Sony is allegedly interested in buying Kadokawa and is currently in talks. Neither company is willing to put out an official comment.
