Tokyopop Wants the Little Ones, Too

Tokyopop sent out a press release this morning that's probably worth noting as one of several signs to come how the company hopes to sustain at least some of its remarkable growth in recent years. Apparently, they're reconfiguring the cine-manga format -- photo-comics done from on-set stills and screen captures -- down to three to six year olds that they will call, sort of unimaginatively, "Junior Cine-Manga."

Tokyopop's photo books with characters like Spongebob Squarepants have indicated sales success for that specific picture and words format when used in the service of popular licenses; the initial books here will come from the My Little Pony and Sesame Street groups. They will cost $3.99.
