Tokyopop in 2007

Written by Kevin Leathers on 01 Nov 2006

We at UKA have gone to great lengths to help you today. We have infiltrated the UK TOKYOPOP headquarters deep in the heart of London. Bypassed their trip wires, hid behind the coffee table in the kitchen and hacked into the manga publisher’s mainframe. What we found was shocking… SHOCKING!! A half eaten ham sandwich. Those brutes! (I think you need a holiday - Ed)

Anyway… no what we did actually find, after being distracted by ham, was the new release list for TOKYOPOP 2007. So we are going to head into what is coming out and give you a taste of the manga side in the first quarter of 2007. Who says we aren’t good to you?

January 2007

It’s the first month of the new year. Christmas is over, New Year’s is but just a memory (what you can actually rememeber) and now it’s a start of a new year. So what better way to warm you cockles than with some new manga series’?

Devil May Cry 3

Based upon the Capcom video game of the same name, fangirls favourite Dante deals with some serious family issues with this brother Vergil. Rather than recapping the story of the game, this manga series follows the two brothers before the events of the game. Showing the demon-hunter in all his glory.

Otogi Zoshi

For those that saw the Manga Ent. DVD release earlier this year will remember this title. The manga prequel to the Heian Arc of the anime, so for those wanting a bit more Otogi Zoshi, will for sure find it here.

Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase

Following the exploits of a freelance photograph by the name of Kohei Morikoa, he meets a very cute girl named Hazuki inside a haunted German castle. Things start to go wrong when he discovers she is actually a vampire who is trying to control him to help set her free from the castle. Until she realises that her powers have no effect on him. But after helping her, she heads to Japan with Kohei and has settled down in an antique shop. Hopefully this won’t turn out to be another Love Hina clone.
