Just saw the "License Revoked" next to the name of the english publisher on Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?.
What the hell does a publisher do to get their license revoked?
~4400 manga completed
~1700 ongoing...

Probably didn't pay something, if I had to guess from the light search I did...more info: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2022-03-20/what-happened-to-sol-press/.183603
First of all, Steam and BookWalker Global aren't the only storefronts removing Sol Press titles; because they are being removed by request of the original Japanese license holders, it will eventually become impossible to purchase Sol Press titles anywhere. “I would say it's safe to assume [Sol Press] titles will be removed from all retailers by the end of the year,” Tsmalls said.
I don't know how licensing works, tbh, but I assume it's like renting anything. You can use it as long as you pay for it over the agreed period of time. Considering this company seems to be a mess...I think that's what happened.
