Romance is in the air! Tokyopop has launched a new romance imprint Love x Love. Including new and existing shojo, josei, yaoi, and yuri works for readers between ages 13 and 18, the imprint will focus on one-shots, short stories, and series of up to several volumes in length, featuring Japanese manga as well as manga-inspired graphic novels from countries including Korea and China.
Tokyopop editor Lena Atanassova explained to ICv2, "Rather than separating girls' love and boys' love into distinct genres traditionally considered more niche in the manga market, we want to elevate all romance." Atanassova added, "By including all of these different romances under one umbrella, we hope to encourage new readers and those familiar with manga alike to check out stories they might not have
otherwise found because they were separated into a supposedly niche genre."
