Wow... I'm reading ANN and find out that Tokyopop is closing down. So this is the result of everyone reading manga for free online from scanlators. I feel awful about it. The first manga I ever bought was Sailor Moon, back when Tokyopop was called Mixx. Ugghh this means that all those amazing Blu titles will also not be published... SIGHING FOREVER. I haven't read manga for a while and I'm vastly behind but knowing there won't be any more of these books like the Junjo Romantica that I bought despite thinking I could read it online...
Is the reason really Borders closing and not being able to pay a debt to Tokyopop?
This is so awful... Even this icon, it's from Chibi Vampire, which was published by Tokyopop. I read it in the library after watching the anime.
I feel like such a huge part of my life and interest in the world has been stopped. I know there are other publishing companies but I've bought so many Blu books.
The best eulogy that I've read so far is this. The final comment that Tokyopop is dead but the creative spirit of interested people lives on is true. There are still people who want to write and make comics. I really hope that the publishing industry gets out of this dive downward in the near future.
All these things that I love fade away and I don't know how to cope with it.
