The Sneaker (ザ・スニーカー, Za Sunīkā) is a Japanese light novel magazine that was published by Kadokawa Shoten between 1993 and 2011.[1] It was launched April 1993 then proceeded to be published monthly for most of its run.[2] The magazine was aimed at a young adult male audience. It serialized many popular light novels, including the Haruhi Suzumiya and Trinity Blood series, and the novel adaptations of the Code Geass anime series. In the final year of its run, the Sneaker editor in Chief Koichi Sakamoto said the company would expand their 'Bunko' (pocket sized paper back books), and broaden their use of web and electronic books in response to their readers needs.
