Tokyopop, originally named MixxZine, was a manga anthology published in North America by Tokyopop.
History
[edit]MixxZine at the start published five manga series, two of which were shōjo (geared towards teenaged girls and young women) and two of which were seinen (geared towards young men):
Sailor Moon was taken out of the anthology and moved to Smile, as the seinen and shōjo content were hard to reconcile due to the vast difference in audiences,[1] and as Mixx wanted to refocus the magazine towards high school and university/college-aged readers[2] which focused more on shōjo titles.
When MixxZine was renamed Tokyopop in July 1999, the focus changed towards more information on Asian culture,[3] along with manga and articles on J-pop, video games, and anime. The magazine was offered for free,[4] and only a few manga titles were published in the magazine, rotating through the following titles:[5]
Tokyopop was eventually discontinued in August 2000.[6]
