Apparent Tokyopop Manga licenses

The Amazon UK website has listing for a number of titles from TOKYOPOP that the company has yet to officially announce as licensed.

TOKYOPOP's Kristien Brada-Thompson was unable to confirm or deny any of the licenses officially.

The listings are for the first (or only) volumes of:

• Abenobashi
  
• Birth
  
• Crest of the Stars
  
• Culdcept (Manwha)
  
• Doll
  
• Dream Saga

In some cases the second volumes are also listed.

According to the Amazon UK website, these titles are due in the summer of 2004. TOKYOPOP licenses titles for both North America and the UK, in most , if not all cases, a title licensed for one region will have been licensed for the other as well. Richard Davies of TOKYOPOP's UK distributor, Red Route, states that the titles are released at essentially the same date in the UK as North America.
