Claim: Tonkam (prominent French publisher of manga in French) had some legal problems when it published New Angel; because of its hentai content and in 1996, it entered into a venture with the Belgian publisher Ypnos to publish Korean manhwa.
Evidence: Tonkam is a prominent French publisher of manga and was one of the first publishers of manga in French, issuing its first titles in 1994. The company had some legal problems when it published New Angel; because of its hentai content was forced to retire the product from the market. In 1996, Tonkam entered into a venture with the Belgian publisher Ypnos to publish Korean manhwa, but the experience was short-lived as Ypnos closed soon after.
