Hey everyone, I havn't posted in awhile, but I heard a recent rumor from a friend who said he visited Viz Communications headquarters, and appearantly they announced that Geneon (Formally Pioneer) had bought out Viz Communications.

I'm pretty sure this is just rumor now, but, I was wondering if someone could confirm or deny it.

Again, this is just an unconfirmed rumor, and if it proves wrong, I appologize, I just wanted to bring the rumor to everyones attention.

Uh, no, this is crap. Viz is owned by Shogakukan, which is a gigantic publishing house in Japan that is much larger than Geneon is.
