I cannot express how proud I am with everyone at my company with the launch of TOKYOPOP today. Honestly, I was a bit concerned starting this project due to the deadline but we got it done on time and done in RustyBrick style.
This site is the first of its kind in the Manga community. It bridges together the books and videos TOKYOPOP sells and at the same time has a huge user generated content drive.
This is like a little MySpace or Yahoo! 360, but focused around the extremely popular Manga topic. In Japan it is huge, in the US it is growing rapidly.
My guys worked incredibly hard on this. It was a great team effort. I am so proud! Great work!
If you have some time, check it out, it was just launched a few minutes ago at http://www.tokyopop.com/.
