Verizon Wireless Offers Manga

So if there’s a way to plug one of those media viewers into a phone, the Japanese anime-loving Verizon Wireless customers will be happy to know that a TOKYOPOP video channel is now available on V CAST.

TOKYOPOP on V CAST offers about 20 four- to six-minute videos each week from its collection. The video selection includes Bizenghast, based on the original manga by M. Alice LeGrow; Rave Master, a popular series that aired on Cartoon Network directed by Takashi Watanabe; PiNMeN, a cult classic direct from Japan; and FMW, live-action reality-based sports.

I’m a Japanese anime fan, but I don’t have Verizon Wireless to experience this. If you do have a V CAST-enabled phone, the service costs you $3 for one 24-hour use or $15 per month for a monthly VPak subscription. It includes unlimited basic video (with TOKYOPOP on V CAST), Mobile Web 2.0 services, ESPN MVP and Get It Now.
