TOKYOPOP Expanding Beyond Japanese Imports

Newsarama has published an extensive article discussing TOKYOPOP’s plans for 2004, 2005 and beyond to focus greater attention on publishing original comics by American artists and attracting a larger consumer base than traditional manga and anime fans alone. Tokyopop editor Mark Paniccia reveals that while TOKYOPOP still has a strong desire to bring Japanese manga to fans, but the company has always had plans to publish original American material rather than fully rely on importing managa from Japan.
