'''Tokyopop''', formerly Mixx, is a translator and distributor of {{manga}}, aka [[CaptainObvious Japanese comics]].

Tokyopop had a ''reputation'' in the American anime & manga fanbase. They were known for having some bad habits in their translation editions, such as leaving word bubbles in blank, sometimes not translating sound effects, hardly ever providing explanatory notes, and often excluding honorifics in the characters' dialogues. This last in particular made them targets of [[UnpleasableFanbase fannish rage]], because Japanese honorifics are SeriousBusiness. In general, if you like your translations to be in very smooth, natural-sounding English, you'll like Tokyopop -- but you'll probably also wonder what you're missing from the original.

...and many, many, many more

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Of the manga that went out of print, a good chunk of it was never rescued. And even those that ''were'' rescued by other companies have recieved new or revised translations, leaving the older translations confined to the Tokyopop editions.

* ''Manga/YuriKumaArashi'' (planned to be published in 2019 under the name ''Yuri Bear Storm'')

The other was a bit more serious. For a few years, they ran a "''Rising Stars Of Manga''" competition, inviting people to send in short one-shot manga (though some people would send in prologues to larger stories, and Tokyopop figured that as long as it stood on its own as a story, it was fine) and published ten winners each year. Many of those winners were offered to do full series, such as ''ComicBook/PeachFuzz'', ''Manga/AtomicKingDaidogan'' (made by Nathan "Captain K" Maurer, famous for his uber-popular ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' fancomic, ''Webcomic/DoubleK''), ''Manga/DogbyWalksAlone'', and even Endling of ''Webcomic/EverAfter'' won the second competition! Unfortunately, after seven contests, the entire competition ceased to exist, and most of the artists who were offered deals [[ScrewedByTheNetwork had their series pulled]]. That was just the beginning of those creators' problems, though.
