Tokyopop’s last gasp

Posted on June 16, 2011 by Brigid Alverson

AstroNerdBoy posts his “dream list” of the Tokyopop series he’d like to see rescued.

Sean Gaffney takes a look at next week’s new manga, which apparently will include some Tokyopop titles—I heard this from Matt Lehman of Comicopia as well. In fact, one series, Hanako and the Terror of Allegory, will actually be wrapping up.

Kate Dacey is compiling her manga for newcomers list at The Manga Critic, and she asks readers to help her compile a list of manga genres.

David Welsh reaches the letter T in his josei alphabet.
