Dunno why anyone would go to this, since most of the stuff will just be on eBay a couple days after anyways.

I could really stand to grab up some copies of Hyper Police. Or Sorcerer Hunters. Wait, they never finished that either. They finish anything?

Oh yeah, that NHK whatever.

So, any chance we'll find DJ Milky's Conscience in that pile of junk?

,,,that it will be hosting a "garage sale" in Los Angeles in mid-May to clear out "manga, posters," and other items from its offices.


Translation: One closet full of junk, the rest is office furniture, office supplies, and computers from 2001. Anyone want 5,000 paper clips?

I want some posters! Tokyopop was all about wasteful spending, so they probably have a life-size replica of Princess Ai for all I know.

You guys better put some of this stuff on eBay.

I can't help but imagine poorly written, hand drawn signs being posted around LA. "Garage Sale. Noon - 4. books, furniture, posters"

And that bus just perplexes me. What's going to happen to it?

Which hopefully "explodes" under mysterious circumstances. Or we find out DJ Milky committed insurance fraud.

That bus... *snf*... it used to carry the dreams of what manga could be in America. Now the shell of its former glory, the only fittingly dramatic conclusion to its perlious road would be ironic.

Like being shoved off a cliff. Or incinerated by satellite laser. Or exploded.
