TOKYOPOP Announces New Policy on Manga

TOKYOPOP has released a press release announcing a new company policy that should please anime and manga fans. TOKYOPOP has announced that all of their forthcoming manga translations will be published in their authentic Japanese right-to-left format with their original Japanese sound effects intact. This translating policy will leave as much of the original artistic integrity of the manga as possible intact and unaltered, and will allow TOKYOPOP to release their translations much faster than industry standard because the time required to “flip” the manga pages from reading right-to-left to conventional Western left-to-right will be eliminated.
