Tokyopop.de announced their new titles back in mid-July. I had hoped for other publishers to follow and disclose their new acquisitions and therefore postponed my post. Alas, none of them did. So below you’ll only find Tokyopop.de’s short list and don’t expect any surprises. Despite Dr. Joachim Kaps‘ hints for a more diverse range of licenses, the list still is very shoujo-heavy.

Seinen
Battle Royale by Koushun Takami & Masayuki Taguchi

Shounen
Death Note 13: How To Read by Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata

Josei
Mehyou to Chuujitsu na Geboku by Kasane Katsumoto

Total:
Seinen: 1 | Shounen: 1 | Josei: 2| Shoujo: 3 | Shounen Ai: 0 | Shoujo Ai: 0 | Global: 4 | Art-books: 1
Tokyopop: 11

Compared to the list of new titles for fall and winter 2008/2009 and spring and summer 2008 this list is very short. Saturated market anyone?

Update: Hot Beast and Hot Dinner are both Josei titles.
