Publisher Shogakukan will share its iconic Japanese light novels and manga with Western audiences by launching the digital media app and service Novelous later today, January 23, at 11 PM PST for Android and iOS devices.
Japan’s light novel scene has few parallels elsewhere, producing many popular works across multiple genres – especially in fantasy, romance, and adventure. For the first time, Shogakukan’s Novelous app will put English translations of the most popular series (and brand-new series) into the hands of Western audiences in the United States and Canada.
