Founded in 2005, BookWalker has been bringing manga, light novels, webcomics, and audiobooks to audiences globally. Pinansky: When the global site launched, it was just a translation of the Japanese BookWalker site. We were discussing the management of BookWalker Global from the Japanese BookWalker to be managed by the overseas company. Pinansky: BookWalker: Manga & Novels is the existing app and is the Japanese app localized to your country. It introduced a new audience to reading novels and manga, light novels, etc.
