Takuhai
The first issue of Tokyopop's free Takuhai magazine appeared in my mailbox. I'm not sure what to think of the format. It has both flipped and unflipped manga, but the previews are not full page, rather inset within the pages with commentary/pithy asides below. Sometimes they're relevant and sometimes they just seem added for laughs, like the comments on "Legal Drug". It's probably a similar size to how it'd look in the graphic novel, but it feels shrunk with all that space around it. Nice interview with Ai Yazawa on the creation of her fashion inspired manga "Paradise Kiss" though.
