Cross Infinite World Leaves Bookwalker Global After Latter's Ownership Change

North Amerian publisher Cross Infinite World announced on Thursday that it is ending its partnership with Kadokawa’s BookWalker Global e-book site, due to the site’s planned change in ownership from BookWalker Co., Ltd. to M12 Media LLC (formerly J-Novel Club LLC) on March 31.

BookWalker Co., Ltd. and J-Novel Club/M12 Media LLC are both Kadokawa Group companies.

In early February, Dwango announced that BookWalker Co., Ltd.; Dwango; and Kadokawa Connected will all merge, with Dwango becoming the surviving company, and BookWalker Co., Ltd. and Kadokawa Connected being dissolved.
