Exactly. It took them 3 years to finally get to where the anime left off. If they stop publishing it I will be pissed.
Last 2 volumes already have release dates. |

My worry list:
12 Kingdoms novels (and any future novels they would've licensed if their novel line did decently) V.B. Rose Junjou Romantica It would also be sad if they cancelled Beck; I haven't started reading that one yet, but was interested in it. |

My friend's going to be happy that Rave Master is safe.
As for myself, the only titles I've been collecting consistently are Dragon Head (which I finished last month) and Welcome to the NHK!, which I'm confident that TP will finish it, with only 1-2 volumes remaining. Though there is one other title that I'm worried about. While I haven't been collecting Boys Be... (2nd) for some time due to prioritizing which titles to buy, I am concerned about its fate despite the fact that it's almost done, because I'm pretty sure it hasn't been flying off the shelves, not to mention that six-month gap between Vols. 16 & 17, which adds to my concern regarding my last point. |

.hack//G.U.+ volume 2 and .hack//XXXX volume 1 should be at retailers soon, if not already (street date is June 17). .hack//G.U.+ is continuing. Volume 3 was originally scheduled for October, and I have no idea if that date has changed or will change, but it's already well into production. Volume 4 is in progress. .hack//XXXX is only two volumes, with the second volume originally scheduled for October, and also well into production. I can't imagine they'd put out just one volume and not the other. |

I'm hoping they'll still release the KKM light novels and manga. Esp. the manga. The light novels are more likely to be dropped, but fans of the show have little online access to either of these, so I think they would sell pretty well, so I hope they dont halt production on them.

Now I'm definitely worried about Scrapped Princess and ARIA if they're only keeping their popular titles.

I typically do not post and have been reading a lot of the replys. I don't mind them cutting back, but I am tired of all these publishers buying up licenses and not doing anything. Seems so many series I liked have been licensed, but who knows if and when they will be released in the US. They just publish when they buy up a license and never bother to tell us when we can expect to see a Manga. In a year? Maybe two? Never!
Now I am just stuck in many series since most scanlators will not continue with a license (cough). I spend more money on Manga than DVD's. I like a variety of Manga from Shojo to Yaoi (the soft type with nice romance and a plot). I am sure others are just as frustrated by this. I am glad I don't read Japanese, since I have heard and read so many complaints on how TP translates. Hopefully TP will give up some of their licenses so others can pick them up. |

So, if we are being assured as to a few titles that won't be cancelled, I suppose that means that this confirms the fact that some titles will be cancelled....
Now I'm worrying a little bit more about the Trinity Blood novels because I have no idea how well they are selling....I want to be assured that they'll be fine! I love them so much because they are the original story that the manga and anime were based on and have so many more interesting details and make more sense and have a lot more meaty character development and a lot more intricacy in the relationships between characters. It truly vexes me to think that I could lose the chance to read all of the books in each series. 
And I do hope that Tokyopop can find a title to take up the baton from Fruits Basket.... |

Somehow I do not think the Blu line is in any danger. BL is still on top of its game right now and TP would be really dumb to stop publishing titles like Junjou or Love Pistols (if and when we get new chapters past those in Vol 5).
Since Saiyuki is safe, it makes me wonder about Wild Adapter. Will just have to keep an eye on that one for the time being. |
