DearS

In the mid-2000s, Tokyopop brought the manga DearS to English-reading audiences, adapting the story of a mysterious alien race that crash-lands on Earth and integrates into human society. This 8-issue series follows a young man who unexpectedly ends up living with a beautiful but naïve alien girl, blending sci-fi, comedy, and romance. Best known for its manga creator Peach-Pit, DearS stands out as a playful, early example of Tokyopop's push to popularize translated manga in the West.
