LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Dec. 9, 2004 - TOKYOPOP Inc. and Gravity Interactive are teaming up to provide fans of the hit manga series Ragnarok the chance to play Ragnarok Online free for 15 days. A Ragnarok Online complimentary game CD will be bundled with select volumes of the Ragnarok manga series at Barnes & Noble, the United States largest bookseller with more than 600 stores nationwide.

The Ragnarok manga features a shifting ensemble of swordsmen and sorcerers in a quest to change the world inspired by Norse mythology. Since its inception, Ragnarok has become one of the top-selling manga series of all time.
