Manga Mania

In 2003, Full Stop Media launched Manga Mania, a four-issue comic series that served as a showcase for the manga-inspired work of Ken Akamatsu, who handled both writing and art, with additional scripting from Simon Lundström. Published during the early-2000s boom in Western interest in Japanese-style comics, the series offered a compact, creator-driven glimpse into Akamatsu's distinctive storytelling and visual style. While brief in its run, Manga Mania stands as a notable artifact of the era's cross-cultural comic experimentation.
