It really is-- the year of the rat is all about "change"- a little more positive change would be nice about now. Thanx for the support Lex! I'm not sure how a campaign could be helpful at this point- I'm pretty sure the majority of TokyoPop's real print publishing is dead. Every editor Tavicat ever dealt w/ at TP was fired back in June. The only books still seeing print that I know of are: Bizenghast, Re-Play, I luv Halloween , Princess Ai, Dramacon, and Van Von Hunter-maybe a couple more? If you could let others interested know what's happening that would be great. However, I'm certain ShutterBox was dropped from printing because they especially don't like promoting IP they don't own. Over the years, I've noticed (as well as others) that the series was getting more and more buried, and TP has already cherried picked the series they look to build franchises on. ShutterBox could never be a part of the TP franchise since they don't own it, so they really don't know what to do w/ it. Anyways, the good news is, there's some talks happening now w/ the lawyer and other publishers and I hope to update the situation here as soon as I get the okay.
