| D: There goes a bunch of series that other (better) companies can print... Oh well, it's a big loss, but there's nothing we can do about it. |

| But still, there are other publishers that can license manga. I know this is sad. |

A crack-whore, a DDR rip-off far worse than Pump it Up, several emo/goth comics, and an incomprehensible look at Otaku are not what I call "creative." |

I'm going to barf...
Granted, not everything Tokyopop is a bad thing. Tokyopop Germany is actually doing a pretty good job, but that office isn't run by wacko's with inflated egos. Too bad you can't just cut off the head while keeping the body alive.
BTW The Kindaichi Case files had a pretty good translator and editors. I love how they handled Smoke and Mirrors. And what does Tokyopop do? Discontinue the series while there are only a few stories left to publish  |
