NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


It's nearly over!  I just finished volume 17 and in there the mangaka, Bisco Hatori, said that #18 would be the last one.  I know that manga series can't continue forever but with TokyoPop now out of production and very few Shojo titles that I like, I feel helplessly, hopelessly stuck.

In case you haven't calculated the extent to which TokyoPop going out of business, here's what that means (at least until - I hope - another publisher picks up these titles).

No more:


Goodbye Ritsuka and Soubi.

No more:


Goodbye Chigusa-san and Rakan-kun.

If the series ever continues, then no more:


Goodbye Kazahaya and Rikuo.

No more:


Goodbye Misaki and Akihiko.

No more:


Goodbye Abel and Father Hugue.


No more reprints of:


OR


There are many others that I will miss from the 354 titles that TokyoPop carried.  Goodness I hope that some publisher picks them up.
