TOKYOPOP - NEWS - Buzz!: "
Girl Power Fuels Manga Boom in U.S.
'The success of TOKYOPOP, founded in 1996 by Stuart Levy, started with Sailor Moon, a manga series and a cartoon about a 14-year-old girl with magical powers. Although manga has been produced in Japan for more than 50 years, Mr. Levy said that TOKYOPOP generally prints material from the last five. The company recently published Princess Ai, a new series created in part by rock singer Courtney Love that is somewhat based on her life.' "

The trend continues....I wonder what they'll do about Michael Jackson?? But seriously folks, Tokyopop Rocks!!!
