History

In 1977, the Tong Li company was created and founded by Fang Wan-Nan which created bootlegs, this ended in 1992[1] when a law in Taiwan restricted the act of bootlegging all manga.[1] During 1992, Tong Li created many manga and manhua magazines, New Youth Bulletin, Youth Comic, Margaret, Dragon Youth Comic, and Formosa Youth.[2] Some series like One Piece and Hikaru no Go were first published in the manga/manhua magazine Hot Youth Top (熱門少年TOP) by Daran Publishing, but when Daran Publishing went bankrupt in 2003, those series were transferred into Formosa Youth.
