LOS ANGELES (October 28, 2004)--Warning: squeals of delight are imminent! That's the message TOKYOPOP has for those who get their kid gloves on the company's newest Cine-Manga trifecta--three wildly fun titles based on Nickelodeon's All Grown Up (Rugrats), The Amanda Show and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

Each book will capture the onscreen fun and excitement in an innovative, full-color manga format for readers.
All Grown Up (Rugrats) (Rating: All Ages, Street: 5/10/05) Middle school mishaps were never this much fun! Your favorite babies have traded in their bottles for braces and their diapers for detention! The Rugrats are all grown up and facing a whole slew of new adventures.
The Amanda Show (Rating: All Ages, Street: 5/10/05)
Meet a pre-teen variety show queen! Sketch-comedy entertainment with a very twisted sense of humor, starring Nick's princess of comedy, Amanda Bynes.
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (Rating: All Ages, Street: 4/12/05) Bigger, more absorbent and on the big screen! There's trouble brewing in Bikini Bottom. Someone has stolen King Neptune's crown and it looks like Mr. Krabs is the culprit.
