Tokyopop DID have one at one time, but it didn't do so well. It was shoujo, and had:

Sailor Moon
Peach Girl
Fighter Girl Julien
And I think one or two other titles.

I think now if they were to bring back Smile magazine, they'd be more sucessful, especially if they had more then just 4 or 5 titles in it.

And yeah, if Tokyopop were to make another monthly anthology, I'd want it shoujo, with teens and up in mind. Anime smallmouth Something that would be the American equivalent to Japan's Sho-Comi I would not say no to. Not al all. *Snickers* ... Then again if a parent found that with a kid, they'd probably start worrying.

Hmm, out of their title's I'd want, excluding their older titles mainly, and things that were in the original Smile mag:

Peach Girl *the 2nd series I suppose*
DNAngel
Fruits Basket
ParadiseKiss
Clover
Lament of the Lamb
And perhaps Under the Glass Moon

Now that would be a kick butt line up for an American Shoujo anthology.

They also used to run Mixxzine before they were Tokyopop.
Titles were

Sailor Moon (until Smile came out)
Parasyte
Ice blade(until they ran out)
Harlem Beat ( IRC)
Magical Knight Rayearth

It died a merciful death after a huge outcry over more adds less manga and then later on the god awfull formatting of putting regular manga sized pages per page. It become a PIA to read.
I think Mixxzine only lasted about a 1 and a half before they canned it and become Tokyopop.

Yes,but I'm trying to aim mine more at all audiences instead of shoujo or shounen only.

Well, it depends. I'd like to see stuff from the series that I'm not buying (or finished buying). However, for the general audience -

GTO
Love Hina
At least one CLAMP series, I don't care which.
Ragnarok
Samurai Deeper Kyo
Rebirth
Real Bout High School

this is the stuff I considering the best of the best that I've read.
