TOKYOPOP - NEWS - Buzz!: "
Comics That Draw Girls
'The shojo manga trend here dates to 1998 when TOKYOPOP began publishing the popular shojo comic 'Sailor Moon.' Two years later, Cartoon Network picked up the series on which it was based. TOKYOPOP is encouraging homegrown talent with its semiannual Rising Stars of Manga talent contests, launched last year. Each contest yields about 1,000 entries, many of them from women in their teens and young 20s. The winners are compiled into an anthology and sometimes signed to book deals. This year, TOKYOPOP will publish 8-10 shojo manga written and/or drawn by American women, including Peach Fuzz, about a ferret descended from royalty, and Bizenghast, about a schizophrenic girl living in an abandoned mill town.'"
This will be something to keep up with. Sailor Moon is on the rise!!!
Let's go American women!!
