The folks at Kadokawa have made a pretty solid move to continue their expansion in offering their works overseas as they’ve announced (PDF) that they’ve acquired the J-Novel Club publisher.
Kadokawa has a number of venture that includes Bookwalker and working with Yen Press to bring out a range of their books and the J-Novel Club acquisition is another piece in this expansion as the Japanese distribution side continues to recognize the importance of the overseas market – and their stronger control in those that bring those works overseas.
