But I liked Tokyopop because it produced a lot of work from American artists, and was branching out of the pure manga look after awhile.

They published this book by this one artist that I guarantee nobody else would have touched because they'd assume there wasn't a 'market' for it (for the record it was a black artist doing an autobiography of his life and it was hilarious and brilliant with good unique art) so I respected them for that.

So I'm just curious what happened.

i like all but i prefer to get some action ;3

Borders owed them money and was going through bankruptcy.

And Stu Levy...wanted to go into filming and movies. So they closed.

Which pisses me the hell off.

le cri~
yeah hoping for less censoring and someone to pick up some of the series i got >D

[Yokuutsu]

It makes me want to stop buying manga all together. Since I'll never get to finish those series probably. Knowing my luck....other places will do the same thing/discontinue the series like Tokyopop did before they decided to close.

I'm sure it was, I got to meet him at Wizard World chicago too, he's ... >u> kinda cute
But we asked him if all the people in the book were real and he said yeah ..which is kinda funny if you read it lol, considering some of the characters

Poggio - Yahhh, there were quite a few books I wanted to get from them, from previews I'd see in mags and the little anthologies they'd put out for cons
Never diiid :(

[Ludovico]

I remember that I owned Princess Ai because of that magazine. The art was really pretty.

[Uzekins]

[Yokuutsu]

I remember Takuhai. Free magazine....that I only got twice for some reason (years before Tokyopop was even thinking of closing)
