TOKYOPOP

Tokyopop are a manga publishing company who became the first company to acquire the rights to publish Star Trek manga, in 2004.

Overview[]

Tokyopop have produced several anthologies of Star Trek manga stories starting in 2006 with Shinsei Shinsei. The first two books contained five manga stories and a prose short story from a recently released anthology by Pocket Books, with Pocket printing a manga story in the respective anthology to cross promote both companies products. The third book featured four, slightly longer, manga stories and an extra from a recent Pocket anthology of short novels.

Tokyopop originally planed their first book to be collection of tales in the Star Trek: The Next Generation era but at the bequest of Paramount they chose to develop a Star Trek: The Original Series book instead, to be released for The Original Series' 40th Anniversary.[1] After publishing their third TOS manga book the company announced plans for two TNG anthologies in late 2008 and early 2009.[2] One TNG book was printed in April 2009.
