Montpellier, France - Aquafadas, developer of digital publishing solutions, and popular Japanese fashion magazine �non-no� have partnered to make their mark on the fashion world with a new trendsetting digital eZine. Shueisha, the publishing giant responsible for �non-no� and many other popular Japanese magazines, turned to the Aquafadas Digital Publishing System to give �non-no� a stylish digital transformation, which includes engaging interactive features and enrichments, catering to fans who want to delve deeper into the world of fashion using their favorite mobile device. �non-no� attracts thousands of monthly users interested in the latest fashion trends, news, and styling tips and tricks. The magazine�s new digital version allows readers from all over the world to experience �non-no� in seconds, far surpassing the geographical limitations of the print version.

The digital version of �non-no� was released as an app for Apple Newsstand and an ePUB for Kobo and Kindle tablets, instantly becoming a success. Downloads of the �non-no� magazine app skyrocketed, reaching 130,000 hits after only five months on the market. Shueisha�s goal is to reach 300,000 downloads before the year�s end.

�Using Aquafadas� Digital Publishing System, we would like to create more interactive and rich apps, and have other digital projects currently in the works. We also plan to publish further-enhanced issues of �non-no� to Newsstand even more in the future,� says Nobuki Matsushita, chief of digital magazine editorial office, of Shueisha�s plans to continue adding to the �non-no� digital experience. The publishing house has already added features such as push notifications, which allow them to quickly and easily notify subscribers when a new issue is released. Additionally, they have begun optimizing the app by finding key performance data through the use of Aquafadas Analytics.

Aquafadas� Digital Publishing System gave �non-no� the tools to portray an unparalleled, digital fashion world to supplement its booming print counterpart. The print version of �non-no� is already well-known for booking some of Japan�s most recognizable stars for photo shoots and interviews. With the addition of the digital version, readers can now interact even further with their favorite celebrities through videos embedded right in the eZine and hyperlinks leading directly to the �non-no� YouTube channel, which features many more exclusive videos.

�The Aquafadas Digital Publishing System has all of the tools and functions we need for making a great digital magazine,� Matsushita says in praise of the system. �It supports our entire workflow and allows us to publish to multiple platforms using just one service, seamlessly.�

Shueisha will continue to add new features to the digital version of �non-no� in the hopes of providing a unique glimpse into the fashion world, one that will transport its readers from the page to the runway.
