The Pop of Tokyo
More late-breaking Tokyopop news at Love Manga. TP is just about to reach their 1000th manga release, though I have to wonder if they really need to be throwing this much Princess Ai merchandise and promotion out there. A cosplay contest? Don't you normally need a fanbase before cosplay even starts to happen? Last I checked, there weren't a whole lot of people getting into this series. Hell, if you're going to sell fashion dolls, I'd license the material in Paradise Kiss before anything else. Now THAT would sell. There are also webpages up for two upcoming OEL* manga, Dramacon and Steady Beat.
*Original English-language.
Dorian got Baron: The Cat Returns at his store, which makes me sad, because I swear I didn't see it at all at my comic store. But he's right, I guess the distribution is a little spotty.
Digital Manga jumps into the latest manga publishers' trend with online previews for Bambi and Her Pink Gun, Twilight of the Dark Master, IWGP, Worst, and a bunch of How-to books. Oh, and they also got some nominations in the ALA Young Adult reader awards for Only the Ring Finger Knows and Desire.
And fanservice fetishes go too damn far with a French-maid and cosplay cafes in Tokyo. As one restaurantgoer puts it: "We just came to watch the otakus, but this is too much."
