Let's Break This Down...

I don't understand what all the upset comments are about. This is a good thing. A VERY good thing. Rumors were circulating that Tokyopop might be exercising a Vulcan death grip on its licenses to keep other companies from getting them. Reverting back to the original owners means that they have ample chance to relicense them with another company. And Hetalia sold VERY well for Tokyopop and likely made Gentosha lots of money with that licensing deal so they'd be insane not to try and sell Hetalia's licensing overseas again. Worst case scenario they know how popular it is and decide to raise the licensing cost and the process is slowed down, but rest assured it WILL happen.

That being said, if you are a fan of a title not named "Hetalia", "Fruits Basket", or "Alice in the Country of Hearts", feel free to worry. The rant above was just saying that Hetalia's future in America is pretty safe.
