Since I don't have that much manga and just buy them every so often on a casual basis I may be missing some shops that may prove otherwise.
I guess it just depends, in my Waterstones it's mainly Tokyopop, the stand where the manga is is actually labelled Tokyopop, and as you mentioned WHSmith also has mainly all Tokyopop. I haven't seen any other places that stock manga.

In Neo magazine which is I'm pretty sure the only UK anime/manga magazine it features a lot of articles about Tokyopop and the manga industry, Tokyopop gets a lot of bashing to be honest. It's in a pretty bad way it seems.
