About Our Company:

Vertical translates the best contemporary Japanese books. We select our

popular novels, graphic novels, and quality nonfiction from a rich,

variegated stock: Japan's huge and vibrant book market.

In fields like animation and video games, Japanese entertainment thrills

people worldwide. The Japanese book world's offerings are equally

entertaining. Until now, however, most Japanese books translated into

English have been either literary classics or introductions to

traditional culture meant for a limited circle of Japanophiles. Vertical

publishes exciting titles that require no prior knowledge of Japanese

culture and are not intended primarily to familiarize readers with it;

we choose good reads with universal themes.
