ICv2 reports that Svetlana Chmakova, the creator of the popular TOKYOPOP global manga Dramacon (pictured left), as well as Yen Press’ upcoming Night School, is moving on to a new frontier: animation.

The show is being marketed to 8-12 year olds and will feature certain manga-style visual elements, and follows a quartet of tweens in their daily lives. It’s called My Life Me (pictured right) and 52 11-minute episodes will hit Canadian and French TV in fall ‘09. No word on whether there’ll be a US release.
