TOKYOPOP and GoComics Announce Exclusive Mobile Manga Partnership

America's most prolific and fan-friendly manga
publisher, TOKYOPOP, has announced an exclusive
agreement with longtime mobile partner GoComics, a
leader in digital entertainment. The new agreement,
which strengthens the partnership between the two
companies, will bring a host of new TOKYOPOP titles
to mobile phones in the coming months.

TOKYOPOP will be featured in the new expanded
GoComics mobile comics and manga offering -
available through the mobile Internet or in the new
GoComics Mobile Manga + Comics application. There
will also be a stand-alone TOKYOPOP mobile Internet
deck. With these new platforms, GoComics reaches
every comic fan with a mobile phone, including
iPhones and smart phones. Comics and manga can
be read for free with ads, or they can be purchased
individually using points-based subscriptions.

"Our Mobile Manga is a great user experience and
satisfies discriminating creators, editors and fans
alike. A major reason for this is GoComics'
commitment to quality, simplicity, and an artistic
adaptation that preserves the manga pacing while
converting pages into a panel-by-panel format," said
TOKYOPOP Director of New Product Development
Jeremy Ross. "We look forward to building on the
success of our initial mobile manga anthology with
GoComics' "freedom of choice" offering - fans can
now select their favorites from a wide catalog of titles."

"We've always enjoyed a fantastic relationship with
TOKYOPOP. They have been the first manga
publisher to be deeply committed to mobile
publishing," said Jeff Webber, Vice President of
Product Development for GoComics. "This expanded
partnership is exciting for us, but it's also great news
for manga fans, as it means we'll be launching lots of
new titles. It's a big win for fans of mobile manga!"
