Last year brought many tears to lovers of Tokyopop [2], a manga publisher that stopped production in late Spring. Tokyopop published popular titles such as Love Hina [3], Fruits Baskets [4], and Chobits [5].
According to a recent article [6] from MTV’s Geek News [7], there are rumors that Tokyopop is returning.
Wouldn’t that be great?!
Their return is still a work in progress. In the meantime, Tokyopop fans can frequent GeekChicDaily [8], a website dedicated to all things manga, technology, Japanese pop culture, and Tokyopop! While we wait for their official re-launch, visit your library to see what Tokyopop titles [9] we have in stock.
What is your favorite Tokyopop series?
