With the upcoming Tales of Symphonia OVA, and the somewhat growing popularity of the Tales series in general, has anyone bothered to bring in the Tales manga series to the states?

I know the Tales of Symphonia series has been out in Japan for awhile, and now there's a Tales of Abyss manga being made. Are there any others Tales series made for manga?

Symphonia was a two or three volume long manga, I think I've seen a four volume Destiny manga. They're out there, just really hard to find.

They managed to cram the 2-disc Symphonia into just two volumes?

But they are out in the states? Who's distributing?

So roughly how many pages are the volumes?

Either way, this looks like a job for Tokyopop.

Symphonia was a rediculously long(but fun as hell) game that would be difficult to ven completely fill a 52 episode anime.

They must have completely changed the story to make it 2 volumes.

So roughly how many pages are the volumes?Around 177 pages each. So I'm guessing a lot was cut.

They couldn't make an anime series out of Kingdom Hearts either, but they still managed to stretch it to four volumes of manga, and even then they left out a few worlds. (I'm guessing because of copyright issues?)

And I don't think Namco and Production I.G. would go for a 52-episode Tales of... series after Tales of Eternia barely made it to the thirteen episode mark.
