On Wednesday afternoon (Sep 9, 2009), [sitelink=publishers.html?id=234]TokyoPop[/sitelink] hosted their second "TokyoPop Insider" industry webcast to share what's new, what's coming soon, and what's going on at this Los Angeles-based manga publishing company. TokyoPop announced 10 new licensed and original manga titles for 2009 - 2010, including three new titles in the .hack// series and two new original graphic novels based on massively popular World of Warcraft / Starcraft games from Blizzard.
By Popular Demand, Seven Fan Favorites Return
After TokyoPop's restructuring in June 2008, several ongoing series went on hiatus, leaving many fans wondering when (or if!) the latest volumes of their favorite manga would be published.
In recent months, TokyoPop has been slowly adding these delayed titles back into their release schedule. Last month, they announced the return of fan favorites like Aria, V.B. Rose and Tactics. Now seven more titles are due back from limbo land in mid-2010. They are:
* [Suppli](http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=3725) Volume 4 by [OKAZAKI Mari](http://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=223)
* [Pick of the Litter](http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=2746) Volume 5 by [SUDA Yuriko](http://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=1442)
* [Monochrome Factor](http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=4206) Volume 5 by [SORANO Kairi](http://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=1185)
* [Never Give Up!](http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=317) Volume 9 by [MUTOU Hiromu](http://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=217)
* [Nosatsu Junkie](http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=5451) Volume 7 by [FUKUYAMA Ryoko](http://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=1675)
* [Satisfaction Guaranteed](http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=763) Volume 8 by [SAENAGI Ryou](http://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=12)
* [King of Hell](http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=1686) Volume 23 by [Ra In-Soo](http://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=1406) and [KIM Jae-Hwan](http://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=1407)
As TokyoPop Editor Lillian Lillian Diaz-Przybyl explained it, "We work so far in advance, it'll be at least mid-2010 until these books can come out. But this is just the beginning of titles that we'll be bringing back."

Sweet.
I've been waiting forever for the next King of Hell volume, It's about damn time.
I don't really care about the rest.
Do but despise reason and science,
The highest of all human gifts -
Then you have surrendered to the Devil
And must surely perish. - J.W. von Goethe

It's time for our scan groups to step up to the plate!
Let's fill in the void left by our corporate media. "...be at least mid-2010..." Phooey!

You got to be kidding me! TP is spying on me! O.O I finally bought the Pick of the Litter series over the summer with the untranslated volumes bought over from Amazon.co.jp and now, they finally decide to update the series!? smashes head through wall ...sighs Aragh... At least, they're finally bringing back titles out of hiatus. =.= Maybe, my ordering through Amazon did the trick or something...
