The same year as their closure, they announced [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-10-12/tokyopop-confirms-intent-to-publish-manga-again that they intended to return to the American industry.]] In 2015, they finally made good on all the hints and announced [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/07/03/tokyopop-announces-return-to-manga-publishing-mobile-app-and-more a 2016 publishing comeback]], with "hidden gem" manga from smaller publishers, collector's editions, and artbooks, with light novels potentially on the way as well. Much like in the past, Tokyopop is looking into [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/07/19-1/tokyopop-hints-as-plans-for-disney-properties developing more manga based on licensed properties]], including ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013''. They also brought up a Pop Comics app, an ad-supported "Website/YouTube for comics" where artists can share comics while still retaining copyright and creative control.

Not to be confused with the 80s movie ''Film/TokyoPop'' that featured the first film appearance of a VisualKei [[Music/XJapan band]].

* ''Manga/{{Tactics}}'' (volumes 1-8, with the first two volumes getting a release by ADV Manga before the rights transferred over. Was picked up for a digital release by JManga, who went up to volume 12 before going under in 2013, leaving the last three volumes unreleased in English)

* ''Manga/{{Life}}''

* ''Manga/InitialD'' (Manga and anime. Blatantly [[CulturalTranslation Americanized]] and {{Bowdlerize}}d.)

* ''Franchise/Digimon'' (Manhua adaptations)

Tokyopop would put you on store bookshelves... in exchange for half your copyright. This was essentially a backdoor form of work-for-hire, preying on young American mangaka who had talent and ambition, but often had no business sense. In 2011, the company [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-04-15/tokyopop-to-close-north-american-publishing-division closed down all American operations, leaving only their international office in Germany open]] - among other factors, the closure of bookstore chain Borders, who reportedly owed them a lot of money, hit them hard. When Tokyopop's American division went under, though, the creators' rights went with them - the company remained a legal entity (because of the German office) and thus owner of half of each property, but was no longer in business so creators could not simply take their series to a new publisher - the message here being, "[[ReadTheFinePrint owning half the rights to your series is the same as owning none of them.]]" All those multimedia deals that they were promised would make up for the loss of half the copyright never materialized either.
