SAN ANTONIO, TX - September 15, 2026 - BookWalker, the leading digital bookstore and app for officially licensed manga, light novels, and Asian media, has announced an exciting new partnership with Mahjong Pros Publishing.

Launching September 15, 2026

• 136 Ready-to-Use Mahjong Strategies and Tactics - The definitive practical strategy guide designed to elevate gameplay for players at any skill level.
  
• Reform with No Wasted Draws - The Legend of Koizumi (Volume 1 and Volume 2) - The outrageous political satire and high-stakes mahjong manga classic that pits world leaders against each other over the tile table.

"BookWalker is dedicated to serving every niche and passion within our reading community, and mahjong lies at the fascinating intersection of tactical gaming, manga, and pop culture. With mahjong growing in popularity in the U.S., the timing couldn't be more perfect to partner with Mahjong Pros Publishing and offer our global audience the absolute best in localized strategy guides, classic manga, and real-life pro player memoirs."
— Susan McCulloch, Director of Platform, BookWalker

“Mahjong has an enormous cultural history in Japan and the rest of the world, but English-language readers have only seen a fraction of it. From serious strategy and professional memoirs to comedy, political satire, and even mecha, these works deserve to be part of the broader manga landscape rather than treated as curiosities for an existing niche. Mahjong Pros exists to bring that missing catalog to English, for both players looking to deepen their understanding of the game and manga readers, new and longtime alike, discovering the world of mahjong.”
— Harrison Doan, Head of Licensing and Partnerships, Mahjong Pros
