More On Tokyopop’s New Site

A few people have sent me the following content, which seems to be from a recruitment letter for the new, rumored, more aggressive Tokyopop.com site. Again this is all rumor, although I think it's a pretty good idea. I mean, done correctly, the manga market could certainly sustain a dedicated, content-driven destination type site.
