Gundam Seed Astray R (Fantasy/Action, Volume 1 Release: 2/8/05)
As a companion graphic novel to Gundam Seed Astray, the latest installment of the immensely popular Gundam franchise takes place in Cosmic Era 70.

Liling-Po (Fantasy/Action, Volume 1 Release: 2/8/05)
Set in ancient China, the legendary master thief called Liling-Po has been captured by the government! However, he receives an ultimatum from his captors: retrieve the Imperial Palace's stolen treasures, or rot away in jail for the rest of his life! Making an obvious choice, Liling embarks on his journey, accompanied by two handsome escorts. A must for shojo fans everywhere, Liling-Po has a habit of stealing treasures, as well as hearts!
Planet Blood (Fantasy/Action, Volume 1 Release: 2/8/05)
A soldier in an interplanetary war is rendered unconscious in an explosion only to awake in the eye of an entirely different war on an entirely different world. Adapted by comic book legend Mike W. Barr (Batman, Camelot 3000 and Star Trek), Planet Blood follows this futuristic warrior into a medieval landscape in which the troubled succession of the throne of Pratria has tossed the entire planet of Horai into strife.
Dead End (Horror/Drama, Volume 1 Release: 3/8/05)
Shirou is just your ordinary poor construction worker who happens to stumble upon a life-changing event. In the midst of murder, deception and a forgotten past, a mysterious stranger tells him that all of his questions will be answered and his memory restored if he recovers five friends in three days.
QWAN (Fantasy, Volume 1 Release: 3/8/05)
The mystical lands of ancient China, where magical beings are a part of everyday life, is the setting of the latest offering from Aki Shimizu (Suikoden III). Qwan is a strange boy who can devour demons and absorb their power. However, he's looking for more than a quick bite. Qwan's quest is to find the sutra known as the Essential Arts of Peace, which will ultimately lead to the purpose and truth to his existence.
SORCERER HUNTERS AUTHENTIC RELAUNCH (Action/Fantasy/Comedy Volume 1 Release: 3/8/05)
One of TOKYOPOP's first hits gets an authentic makeover with a re-release in 100% authentic manga format! On the Spooner Continent, powerless commoners spend each day terrorized by mercilessly evil sorcerers. Big Mama, though, has had enough-and she sends out an elite group of warriors: the Sorcerer Hunters. The first installment in the epic comedy/fantasy series introduces the Hunters (Carrot, Chocolat, Tira, Gateau and Marron) and their battle against the malevolent Sacher Torte.
