I own mostly Viz products, because they print out the works by my favorite manga-ka: Yuu Watase.

Well...I´ve read Tokyo-pop, but I don´t think that I´ve read any Viz... But for me the best translated manga is Negima, translated by DelRay. DelRay does a really good job on translating, they even hae notes in the end of the books on translations and other things that helps to understand jokes and meaning...just saying...

It's not a matter of which company for me, it's a matter of which manga. Personally, I prefer the way ViZ does things, because they translate the sound effects. I think that Tokyopop's bit about 'giving the reader the experience the author wanted' is a BS way of saying 'we're LAZY'. I mean, the author actually wanted their readers to be able to understand what's happening in terms of SFX.

ViZ and Tokyo both suck. .__.

They can't translate for...[censored word inserted here].

I choose none, I have a lot of Tokyo Pop mangas and *twitch* ViZ ones, so it's even. I prefer ADV and Del-Rey. xP
