This is very shocking to say the least. 😲
I'm very worried. A lot of the manga I buy is published by them...
I just hope another company get the rights for Tokyopop's manga and keeps publishing them - like what FUNi did for Geneon. Otherwise I will freak out.

I don't really read anything from Tokyopop but from BLU, yes!! I was expecting Junjou Romantica's 13th volume this year. Anyone have any idea what's going to happen? Does this mean it won't be liscenced anymore?? But it's so popular. AAHHH I hope June picks it up. 🙁 That does happen right? When one publishing co. drops a manga that's usually popular another will pick it up. 😕

I hope June picks Junjou up as well along with Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi. I was looking forward to Hatsukoi but now I don't know if this'll be available either. 🙁
