Publishing - the Pros on Manga Studio
e frontier is developing a strong relationship and partnership with TOKYOPOP, the largest manga publishing house outside of Japan. TOYKOPOP Editorial Director, Jeremy Ross has great things to say about Manga Studio:
“We are proud to partner with e frontier in bringing this essential software package to the US. TOKYOPOP is committed to nurturing a new generation of manga artists and offering careers in creating manga that were never before available outside of Asia. Manga Studio is a valuable tool for aspiring manga artists to learn their craft and develop professional skills. Many of our artists use it.

Manga Studio is the preferred tool of several professional manga artists, including Ron Kaulfersch, creator of “Van Von Hunter”. According to Ron:
“Manga Studio has given me the chance to experiment and refine my manga toning techniques without having to invest the time, expense and effort of working with traditional hand-applied screen tones.”
