Manga Pilots

Manga Pilots: You Read and Review--You Help Decide What We Publish!

TOKYOPOP is launching an exciting new stage in our manga development program--and we need your help. We want YOU to read, review and tell us which TOKYOPOP Manga Pilots should be made into full-length manga. 

In this new program, promising manga creators are selected and hired by our editorial team to create a 24-to-36-page short-form Manga Pilot story. The Pilot will be published online for TOKYOPOP community members to review, rate, and discuss.

The Manga Pilot program is not a competition. It's a proving ground that will give manga creators exposure to an enormous audience and help TOKYOPOP develop the next generation of manga superstars. And we want YOU be part of this process. Your positive reviews may very well catapult a pilot into the stratosphere!

TOKYOPOP will select which Manga Pilot properties continue their creative evolution based on a combination of user feedback, editorial judgment and market opportunity. A successful Manga Pilot may find its first major incarnation in one or more different media. The nature of the property will indicate what it should become—an Online Manga, a print graphic novel, a movie, a TV show, a game, a mobile manga, a panel-by-panel animation or any combination of these.
