BookWalker Global Opens Door to Comics Beyond Japanese Manga

Kadokawa's English-language e-book store BookWalker Global is expanding beyond Japanese manga and light novels, according to M12 Media CEO Samuel Pinansky. The platform, which moved to a new system run by M12 Media earlier this year, already sells original English light novels from J-Novel Club and Korean comics from Ize Press. Pinansky said the store may add traditional comics from other publishers if deals can be reached.
