• KADOKAWA CORPORATION is pleased to announce at their panel at Virtual Cruncyroll Expo that in response to requests from fans of Japanese comics and light novels in English-speaking countries, it will begin speedy ebook translation and distribution directly!

"We have delivered our translated manga and light novels through our group company Yen Press and other local publishers, but in order to meet the needs of readers who want more titles earlier, we will translate and deliver the official versions of these IPs straight from the source! It usually took six months to a year from a title’s serialization in Japan to their translation and publication in English-speaking countries, but we will soon release many of our manga as “simulpubs” with Japan on the online ebook store BOOK WALKER Global, which is operated by a KADOKAWA group subsidiary. As for light novels, as soon as they are translated, we will speedily deliver them chapter by chapter! Regarding the number of titles to be released, we carefully selected ones that were not translated into English but are already highly recognized in the English-speaking world, and will start with seven manga! From October, we will distribute three more light novel titles as well! (Details are as follows.) The number is expected to exceed 100 titles soon."
