[COLOR=Blue]I do enjoy some of the stuff that VIZ puts out like Naruto and The Prince of tennis, but I'm going to have to go with Tokyopop. Their manga just feels more authentic to me.[/COLOR]

I like Initial D by Tokyopop

[Guest kel aka gandy]

Delrey would have to be my favorite...They're doing an incredible job with Tsubasa...
Viz would be my second, only because they have Yuu Watase manga rights....

tokyopop i know alot of you dont like it but its my favorite and then viz for making naruto and ranma into manga

Haven't read a lot of mangas at all but here goes nothing...

Actually I like Tokyo Pop quite a bit... pretty cool all and all, Chobits was nice enough though I felt that either the translations were off or the manga itself was a little "strange" seeing the anime was the same, I kept getting a "low budget" feeling, my apologize if I insult anyone but I did actually like the Chobits experience. Ragnarok I would have to say is one of their greatest achievements: downright awesome. Two thumbs up.

Dark Horse Comics gets my vote for creativity on accepting Seraphic Feather (Hirouki Utatane's art and Yo Morimoto's story), maybe it wasn't the best but IMO it sure was a good read (in fact I liked it a lot). I'm not sure what else Dark Horse Comics makes as far as mangas go... wish they did more with Seraphic Feather.

Viz reminds me too much of Cartoon Network so I tend to stay away from most Viz titles (Mermaid's Scar, Dbz, Gundam I've read and for quick fun they are typically good). But that is a silly comment for me to make seeing as how they have quality releases as well, for instance Ceres which I enjoyed very much (Yu Watase). Most of my friends really love Viz... so I guess since Viz makes a lot of titles it is either hit or miss for me.

Honestly though, when mangas say they are 100% untouched and that the story is a direct translation from the Japanese and more "authentic" because they are right-to-left, is that true? (Chobits comes to mind here.) I always figured that was bull since you're reading an English manga anyway (who cares what the origin language was, the second it was translated it only makes sense to me to print it the other way around). More authentic? I always figured the "authentic" thing was just to get younger readers hooked on it because they felt it was more "Japanese." Honestly, Is this not the case, is there some kind of difference?

I feel better about reading it right to left, as I am used to it, and sometimes accidentally read it that way when I'm reading a regular book! :animeswea

[COLOR=Magenta]I like Viz's Shojobeat line, as well as Fushigi Yuugi, but most of my favs are Tokyopop. Besides, Tokyopop has Fruits Basket, and I love that manga more than anyother.[/COLOR]

They're not included because the OP was referring strictly to North American manga companies. Anyway, isn't Be x Boy a magazine/label, not an actual publishing company like Kodansha? I could be wrong, but that's the impression I was under.

no beboy comics is a a pubishers and so is gust, but that still doesn't not mean they can be forgotten :animecry:

Tokyo Pop. It's the company I have the most mangas from. That, and I Luv Halloween is from them. I love that manga right now! If you haven't heard of it, that's because it's still pretty new. The second book hasn't even come out yet!
