'''Tokyopop''', formerly Mixx, is a translator and distributor of {{manga}}, aka [[CaptainObvious Japanese comics]]. It was one of the most prolific manga publishers in the US, along with Creator/VizMedia and [=DelRey=], and was one of the first publishers to print their manga "back to front", i.e. in the original Japanese format. They promoted titles printed under this format as "100% Authentic Manga!", although it may have been done for economic as much as artistic reasons. In addition, they also had their manga sold in bookstores as well as comic book stores - this actually really helped increase their audience, since bookstores are more common in the americas and are usually easier for younger people to get to. (You would often find a bookstore in a mall... not a comic book shop.)

In addition, they also had their manga sold in bookstores as well as comic book stores - this actually really helped increase their audience, since bookstores are more common in the americas and are usually easier for younger people to get to.

'''Tokyopop''', formerly Mixx, is a translator and distributor of {{manga}}, aka [[CaptainObvious Japanese comics]]. It was one of the most prolific manga publishers in the US, along with Creator/VizMedia and [=DelRey=], and was one of the first publishers to print their manga "back to front", i.e. in the original Japanese format. They promoted titles printed under this format as "100% Authentic Manga!", although it may have been done for economic as much as artistic reasons.
In translating, Tokyopop has a habit of leaving word bubbles blank, not translating sound effects, and excluding honorifics in their translations. This makes them targets of [[UnpleasableFanbase fannish rage]], because Japanese honorifics are SeriousBusiness.
They tried to expand their line by sponsoring "[[{{Animesque}} Original English Manga]]," including manga-styled ''Franchise/StarTrek'' stories, a [[ReturnToLabyrinth sequel]] to ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'', and CEO Stu Levy's Ugly Baby Project, PrincessAi. It also included genuinely original work, like Brandon Graham's ''King City'' and Becky Cloonan's ''East Coast Rising''. Some of these titles were more successful than others.
Tokyopop formerly published {{anime}} [=DVDs=], but no longer. Some of their back catalog was acquired by {{Funimation}}. They have also expanded into translating Korean {{Manhwa}}. Their output was recently slashed by nearly 50%, possibly due to [[YouFailEconomicsForever cannibalization at retail]]. The competition from other publishers might have also had something to do with it.
Also, they used to have the most User-Unfriendly website in all the interwebs. They must've taken this criticism to heart, since [[http://www.tokyopop.com the new website]] is much easier to understand.
For a few years, they ran a ''Rising Stars Of Manga'' competition, inviting people to send in short one-shot mangas (though some people would send in prologues to larger stories...TokyoPop figured that as long as it stood on its own as a story, it was fine) and publishing ten winners each year. Many of those winners were offered to do full series: examples are PeachFuzz, AtomicKingDaidogan, DogbyWalksAlone, and even the famed [[Webcomic/EverAfter Endling]] won the second competition! Unfortunately, after seven contests, the entire competition seems to have ceased, and [[ScrewedByTheNetwork most of the artists who were offered deals have had their series pulled.]]
As of 4/15/11, the company has [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-04-15/tokyopop-to-close-north-american-publishing-division closed down all American operations, leaving only their international office in Germany open]]; however, they have recently confirmed that [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-10-12/tokyopop-confirms-intent-to-publish-manga-again they intend to return to the American industry.]] However (again), they entered the realms of TrollingCreator as this wasn't the case and [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2011/10/11-1/tokyopop-returns-kind-of they were merely creating a newsletter on Asian pop-culture]].
Not to be confused with the otherwise-forgettable 80s movie ''Tokyo Pop'' that featured the first film appearance of a VisualKei [[XJapan band]].

In translating, Tokyopop has a habit of leaving word bubbles blank, not translating sound effects, and excluding honorifics in their translations. This makes them targets of [[UnpleasableFanbase fannish rage]], because Japanese honorifics are SeriousBusiness.
They tried to expand their line by sponsoring "[[{{Animesque}} Original English Manga]]," including manga-styled ''Franchise/StarTrek'' stories, a [[ReturnToLabyrinth sequel]] to ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'', and CEO Stu Levy's Ugly Baby Project, PrincessAi. It also included genuinely original work, like Brandon Graham's ''King City'' and Becky Cloonan's ''East Coast Rising''. Some of these titles were more successful than others.
Tokyopop formerly published {{anime}} [=DVDs=], but no longer. Some of their back catalog was acquired by {{Funimation}}. They have also expanded into translating Korean {{Manhwa}}. Their output was recently slashed by nearly 50%, possibly due to [[YouFailEconomicsForever cannibalization at retail]]. The competition from other publishers might have also had something to do with it.
Also, they used to have the most User-Unfriendly website in all the interwebs. They must've taken this criticism to heart, since [[http://www.tokyopop.com the new website]] is much easier to understand.
