Peach Fuzz (Comedy, Volume 1 Release: 1/11/05)
An adorable, whimsical narrative by Lindsay Cibos and
Jared Hodges, Peach Fuzz tells the story of an unusual
odd couple: Amanda, an enthusiastic but lonely young
girl, and Peach, a prissy ferret with a royalty
complex! The heartfelt tale is based on the creators' winning
entry in TOKYOPOP's second Rising Stars of Manga
competition.
DearS (Comedy/Romance, Volume 1 Release: 1/11/05)
Beautiful aliens, known as "DearS", are an everyday
part of society. High school student Takeya comes to the
rescue of Ren, a particularly gorgeous member of the
DearS...and thus begins manga-ka Peach Pit's
boy-meets-alien-girl story in the tradition of Chobits and
Mahoromatic - Automatic Maiden.
Hyper Police (Comedy, Volume 1 Release: 1/11/05)
In the future, demons and monsters have replaced
humans! Creator Mee (Kotetsu no Daibōken-"Kotetsu's Great
Adventures") tells the story of Natsuki, a powerful but
clumsy cat-girl who works as a bounty hunter. Her job
is to track down wanted monsters...and bring them back
dead or alive!
Lagoon Engine (Fantasy, Volume 1 Release: 1/11/05)
From Yukiru Sugizaki, the best-selling creator of
D.N.Angel, comes a supernatural yarn about Yen and Jin,
two brothers who are successors to the family craft of
defeating evil spirits. Battling ghosts is a game of
guessing your opponent's "name." Both Yen and Jin have
secret names only they know...and must keep private or
risk death!
Master School Olympus (Fantasy/Action, Volume 1
Release: 1/11/05)
Son Hee-Joon (Yureka) delivers an action-packed manga
with Master School Olympus. Sang is a fearlessly
spunky young girl in search of the Demon School Hades,
where only monsters can attend. Intrigue and hijinks
unfold as Sang finds a way to become a monster-and begins a
fantastic adventure in a devilish domain!
Soul to Seoul (Drama, Volume 1 Release: 1/11/05)
Ji-Eun Kim presents a hard-hitting, passionate story
about Kai, an American student who is half-Korean and
half-Caucasian. Kai feels out of place because of his
mixed heritage. When his arrogant and obnoxious cousin
from Korea comes to study in America, Kai has to sort
out his feelings about his family...and himself.
