PR: Fruits Basket 19 free online for 19 minutes

Posted on March 13, 2008 by Brigid Alverson

Fruits Basket, vol. 19This came in last night, and if you’re thinking of taking advantage of it, I suggest you register with the Tokyopop website now. (It’s free, and as far as I can tell, hasn’t generated any spam for me.) Worried you’ll be busy at 7:19 p.m. and forget to log in? Tokyopop has a handy downloadable widget to help. Read on for the official PR.

TOKYOPOP is launching an unprecedented promotion for Fruits Basket volume 19, which goes on sale March 18. On Friday, March 14, at 19:19 EST, TOKYOPOP will release the entire volume online free to members of TOKYOPOP.com—for 19 minutes only. TOKYOPOP will also give away copies of Fruits Basket volume 19 each day leading up to the promotion. Members of TOKYOPOP.com who join the Fruits Basket clan and are logged on at 19 minutes after the hour between noon and midnight will have a chance to win. One winner will be chosen each day.

With more than 2 million copies in print, Fruits Basket is the #1 selling shojo manga on the planet, peaking at #1 on the graphic novel bestseller list with each release. Celebrated by fans around the world, Fruits Basket is the winner of the 2007 American Anime Award for Best Manga and a YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens winner.
