Tokyo Pop, Viz Media Manga and Other New Releases
In recent years we have seen the manga market grow and grow spreading from speciality shops to high street book shops, as Anime shows arrive here and in the US creating more interest in the manga we see more and more titles such as Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist, GTO and many many more. These books are attracting a lot of younger readers back into comic shops giving the industry a much needed boost.
