History
MixxZine at the start published five manga series, two of which were shōjo (geared towards teenaged girls and young women) and two of which were seinen (geared towards young men):
Sailor Moon was taken out of the anthology and moved to Smile, as the seinen and shōjo content were hard to reconcile due to the vast difference in audiences,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and as Mixx wanted to refocus the magazine towards high school and university/college-aged readers<ref>"Press release regarding MixxZine® and Smile™ addressed to MixxZine subscribers." (Archive). Mixx Entertainment. September 30, 1998. Retrieved on August 21, 2011.</ref> which focused more on shōjo titles.
When MixxZine was renamed Tokyopop in July 1999, the focus changed towards more information on Asian culture,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> along with manga and articles on J-pop, video games, and anime. The magazine was offered for free,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and only a few manga titles were published in the magazine, rotating through the following titles:<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
