Edition #470

If you follow tennis on social media, you’ve probably seen the behind-the-scenes content players often take part in - casual interviews, and lighter moments away from the court. It’s usually a refreshing glimpse into their personalities beyond match day.

But this time, Alexander Zverev wasn’t amused. The German appeared visibly unhappy with a recent behind-the-scenes incident, making it clear he wasn’t a fan of how it unfolded.

The World No. 3 takes out frustration after being sidelined on social media.




The $60B Anime & Manga Boom is Finally Open to Investors

When people hear anime & manga, they think of cartoons and comics. But nowadays, they should be thinking of dollar signs.

The global anime and manga market’s worth $37B, projected to hit $60B by 2030. Which makes TOKYOPOP’s first investment opportunity for outside investors all the more exciting.

TOKYOPOP helped bring anime and manga to the West nearly 30 years ago. Fast forward to today, they’re generating $15M in annual revenue, have 100+ IPs in their portfolio, and distribution across 50+ countries.

They’ve got licensing rights to IP for Disney, Nintendo, Warner Bros., and more, and distribution locked down through Penguin, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and beyond. Now, they’re on a mission to find and scale the next breakout anime franchise.
