Vertical ...I don't have any manga by Tokyopop. <br />Vertical 13<br />Viz 90<br />Dark Horse 49<br />Del Rey 28<br />Yen Press 16<br />Vertical 12<br />Bandai 4<br />I didn't get into manga until around 2007 so I wasn't around for their hey-day. I bought a few volumes of Deadman Wonderland over in Japan, so I didn't feel like repurchasing them as the TP versions. I'll give them credit for the good they've done, but all I've ever heard about them was how they screwed their OEL creators and how Stu Levy has a serious case of corporate ADD.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857537495427793076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-88792769852486309842011-04-21T00:29:13.316-07:002011-04-21T00:29:13.316-07:00I can't really criticize your ownership of Bat...I can't really criticize your ownership of Battle Vixens, as I own four volumes of Eiken. (People never scanlated it, so I was curious whether the manga was as gloriously horrible as the anime.)<br /><br />I assume the 23 volumes of Del Rey are Negima? What Viz titles did you collect?<br /><br />Anyway, I remember being annoyed as heck when TokyoPop became popular since I found the unflipped format hard to read. What annoyed me even more was when publishers put out unflipped artbooks when "flipping" would have just involved changing page order. Other than that I haven't thought of them much since they didn't publish anything I followed other than Sgt. Frog, and didn't gut anything I loved like CMX did.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021943379915718040noreply@blogger.com
