Manga magazine, formerly known as
Takuhai, is a free quarterly magazine published by
Tokyopop, which gives preview chapters of a selection of the company's new
manga titles, as well as
fan art,
interviews, and short articles. The magazine is intended as a
publicity vehicle, similar to Tokyopop Sneaks, free preview compilations of Tokyopop titles. It was first published in the summer of 2005, and readers can subscribe to the magazine through Tokyopop's official website. The magazine's original title,
Takuhai meant "home delivery" in
Japanese, but this was changed when Tokyopop discovered that many readers were accessing it through
bookstores,
comic stores, and
newsstands.
