Manga publishers Digital Manga and Harlequin join forces to offer manga on Barnes and Noble's e-Readers
Digital Manga and Harlequin Partner for Large Collaboration on Digital Romance Titles
Digital Manga and Harlequin, two titans in their respective fields, have joined forces for a significant partnership focusing on digital romance titles. The collaboration is set to bring 20 books to Barnes and Noble initially, with hundreds more expected by the end of the year.
The launch titles for this partnership include "Accidental Mistress", "The Apartment", "A Bed of Sand", and 14 other titles, totaling 17 releases. These books will be available in two versions: one for e-ink devices and another for the Barnes and Noble Nook Color. All books will be available in English, with plans for Chinese, Korean, and French versions.
Harlequin, renowned for its multiple imprints focusing on romance genres, is bringing its expertise to the table. Imprints such as Love Inspired Suspense, Harlequin Intrigue, Harlequin Historical, and Harlequin Medical Romance will contribute to the partnership. Additionally, there is a digital-first historical fiction imprint called Dragonblade, which focuses on historical romance with inclusive romance pairings.
While specific details about upcoming book releases under this partnership or their localization strategies are yet to be announced, it is known that Softbank, a key player in the partnership, will be responsible for localization.
Michael Kozlowski, who resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has been writing about audiobooks, e-books, and e-readers for the past eighteen years. Despite not being directly associated with Digital Manga, Harlequin, Softbank, or Barnes and Noble, he has written extensively about their partnership.
For the latest and precise information—including which titles are planned, their localization to different languages, and platform/device availability such as for Nook Color—it would be best to consult official announcements from Digital Manga, Harlequin, or their authorized distributors directly.
Harlequin comics, including titles like THE BRIDE'S SECRET by Helen Brooks, are already available in eBook formats on platforms like Barnes & Noble. Harlequin Presents collections, which release digitally with several full-length stories in one, are another example of Harlequin's digital presence.
This partnership promises to bring a fresh wave of digital romance titles to readers worldwide, and we eagerly await more details as they are announced.
