Actually, Gyakushu! and Warcraft are both Global Manga... It's just the other three titles that are manhwa.

I'll be picking this up along with whatever else they give me. It would be nice if they previewed actually manga nowadays. Last year all they put in it was their junior chapter global manga.

...sorry, but I just found Tokyopop's introduction page on this (just got it today) too ridiculous to resist.

Quote:
Hey True Manga Fans.
You know who you are. You know what Otaku means and you wear that name with pride.

Um...there isnt a 'true manga' in this thing at all. And let's just not get into the whole wearing the name with pride thing debate again.

Are you tired of waiting for Ragnarok volume 11 to come out? Cant wait for the next King of Hell and Priest manga?

Arent these all manwha too?!
Quote:
Ready to strangle the next person who tells you that Fruits Basket is the best manga in the world(not that it isnt)?

Oh yeah, those Furuba fans arent True Manga Fans because Fruits Basket actually IS a manga! (?) [/sarcasm]
Quote:
Are you sick of jumping around from shonen title to shonen title because it all looks the same?

...is that supposed to be telling me that the stories in here and wonderfully original and ground-breaking or something? Please.

TOKYOPOP feels your pain and calls you to join the fight against boredom. TOKYOPOP is proud to present FIVE titles for your FIGHTING pleasure, Utopia's Avenger, Phantom, Gyakushu!, Archlord and Warcraft:The Sunwell Trillogy...series filled bonecrushing art, epic storytelling and more high-flying action than you can shake a staff/sword or gauntlet at.

Well, when I looked, even though some werent too bad, I wouldnt be placing any 'epic' badges on any.
Quote:
So check out these hot new titles and make room on your overflowing manga shelf, because you're going to want to own these titles.

...I'll be right, thanks...

Afternote: WARCRAFT is...just awful. I've never read something so notoriously...stereotypically bad.

Eh well. I personally wanted the 'unpublished Peanuts' collection but it wasnt there.
Here's hoping DelRey steps in next year.
