Tokyopop line-up live action version of Ikki Tousen Fri, 26 Oct 2007

According to news emerging from Japan, global manga publisher's Tokoyopop are pushing to produce a (presumably North American) live-action adaptation of the popular and fan-service friendly Ikki Tousen manga (also known in the UK as "Battle Vixens").

Having recrafted the story for their movie treatment, Tokyopop are seeking finance from Hollywood, with their true ambitions extending to becoming a "worldwide brand" on a par with the US's cross-media giants like Marvel and Disney. To that end, Ikkitousen isn't the only manga currently under their live-action scrutiny; the gothic vampire drama Lament of the Lamb is one of many also being considered.
