How in the world is Tokyopop even still alive? Also, can't they focus less on licensing new titles and more on re-releasing titles they already had but cancelled way back when (Pavane for a Dead Girl, anyone?!)?

Do they even still have the licenses for those? I'm pretty sure they have all expired by now.

If not, I''ll still get Trinity Blood even with their dodgy translation and skipped sentences if only Tokyopop finises translating the remaining volumes.

I'm still bitter about the translation mess up in Koimonogatari - Love Stories 2, but I do have to say at least the ebook version looked nice.

That being said, The God and the Flightless Messenger is pretty cute, so I'll probably pick it up whenever it comes out. The Cat Proposed is also very good, so I'm happy to see this licensed as well.

I find this sharp turn into yaoi they've made rather strange (I mean, didn't they have the Blu line back then? Why not put it out under that?), but to be fair, I've also quite enjoyed most of the yaoi they've licensed lately. And they're STILL putting out more books than DMP right now.

Shocked their able to get licenses, considering how many bridges they burned.

I’m still bitter about Life and Junjo Romantica.

More BL, huh... last time they announced new licenses, it was just BL too... I guess the only yuri title they released that appealed to me was Still Sick (I liked Breath of Flowers too, but that's French, not a manga.), but I wouldn't mind seeing more. But as long as all of Aria is released, I'm happy.

they need to stick with more 1 vol titles, so many of these BL licenses are actually released on time. they suck at longer series
