The $60B Anime & Manga Boom Has Escaped Japan
Most people assume anime & manga are Japanese industries. The numbers tell a different story.
For the first time in history, international revenue has surpassed Japan’s. Netflix says viewership tripled in five years, with over half of its 300M subscribers watching.
TOKYOPOP’s been preparing for this moment for nearly 30 years. They helped bring anime and manga to the West in the 90s, becoming one of the industry’s most-respected names.
In the process, they earned licensing contracts with giants like Nintendo and Disney and saw their stories told in 50 countries and 30+ languages. That’s translated to $15M in annual revenue.
And it’s just beginning. The anime & manga market’s projected to grow from $37B today to $60B by 2030. Get 5% in guaranteed TOKYOPOP investor bonus stock by May 6 as they scale toward $50M in targeted 2030 revenue.
