Tokyopop is back

Tokyopop went "virtual". Oy... =__=;; I stopped caring when they started to bloat themselves with licenses and shoddy paper quality. Stu Levy had his chances to keep his company as healthy as Viz, yet, nah... I'll forever remember the company as a "Mixxzine pioneer", and that's about it.
If they improve themselves worthy of a second chance, it would be a huge miracle. The English translated manga (+ manhwa) world, in the bookstores, have so far thrived well with TP gone. I like seeing a lot of other manga publishing companies having their shots at being noticed. Now, if only one of these active companies can get a brain and start localizing a lot of great Zero-Sum/Sum Ward manga..., that would be great. I can't keep carrying back Zero-sum manga from Taiwan all the time...

It'd be nice if they could finish the twelve kingdoms novels. even with their so-so translation. There was only two left for the main story and another pair for side stories. Even better they pick up Kino's journey again and don't drop it after one book. >:-(
Sarcasm just doesn't work over the internet.

I'm still annoyed with some of the incomplete series blah. -__- I don't think they have many fans left with their horrible exit.

I still have hope for Fruit Basket and Mars! The used copies have unreasonable prices, so I'm still waiting for a miracle...
I hate spoilers.
