Sad news, folks! Tokyopop announced that as of May 31st, 2011, Tokyopop will be closing their North American offices. Tokyopop publishes some of the most popular manga on the market, including Fruits Basket, Hana Kimi, and Chobits.
As far as what will happen to the mangas they licensed, no one knows for sure. I hope that Tokyopop sells their library to another manga publisher. In the meantime, I will be looking more intently at what series I need to complete, because if these titles aren't picked up, they'll go out of print pretty quickly!
The offices in Europe are not affected by these closings, so only those in North America have to worry for right now...
