Tokyopop announced at its Anime Expo panel in 2015 that it was planning to begin publishing manga again in 2016.
Tokyopop announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with China’s Artention Films Corp and TencentHoldings Ltd. to release the manhua (Chinese comic) Bloodivores through its POP Comics digital platform.
Tokyopop shut down its North American publishing operations in May 2011 but collaborated with other companies to release manga and world manga after the closure.
The manhua inspired a Chinese/Japanese animated series from Creators in Pack and Emon, the Japanese branch of Chinese animation brand Haoliners.
