teddogTokyopop to Restructure - Company to be split into two; 39 employees to be laid off
Not sure what to think, other than I'm kinda not shocked. Other than Aria, I don't touch most of what Tokyopop publishes. It's mostly trash and they burned me with the light novel thing. I now am the owner of three incomplete series by them after those titles were cancelled.
Most of the books I'm picking up now are through Viz and come this fall, Yen Press will be seeing a lot of my money. ADV may or may not see my business again if they manage to start up again.
I have a sinking feeling that they're going to axe some titles and Aria will go under. It's science fiction/slice of life and completely character driven. It doesn't have a chance in Hell.
The unstable market crushes ANY hope of seeing Yokohama Kaidashi KikÅ brought over, but that horse wasn't really worth betting on.
