O_O

That's even fewer shops in the UK stocking Manga then. (There were certain smaller bookshops that had manga sections that ONLY contained Tokyopop titles. Not that I've read any of them).

It was somewhat of a forgone conclusion when they laid off all but 6 of their staff (including Levy and Kiley) back in February....

That makes sense. I hadn't known they'd done that, but that would make a ton of sense.

I agree.

It's sad, especially since V.B.Rose only has 12 of 14 volumes out. Hidaka-sensei's I Hate You More Than Anyone got abandoned when CMX closed, too.

That *is* sad!

Sad, but not surprising. Hopefully something positive will happen in the future.

Yes to both. I hope that it does mean something good for the future.

Colleen Doran ("A Distant Soil", etc.) has some words on the demise of Tokyopop over at her FB page:

Not a big fan of their contracts, apparently.

Apparently they weren't particularly good at it, either. *laughs* Part of why they did go out of business, I take it. Bleh... ah well. Guess I can be even happier about supporting Viz and DelRey.
