Because that would make me happy.
Still, it's too bad...
Tumblr here.If I remember correctly, they were down to just 6 workers after laying off most of their staff. I expected them to go under, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.
This is a real shame though. I grew up reading their translations. Tokyo Mew Mew was even my first manga. I was really hoping the good sales of Hetalia and Alice In The Country Of Hearts might've pushed the inevitable back a bit further.
Don't mind me. I'm just a creepy little lurker.Oh damn...Gakuen Alice...

Shite. Great Teacher Onizuka was one of theirs.
I am glad I picked up my copies of the Welcome To The NHK manga already.
^Hell, I'm glad I got my copy of the novel already.
And they were doing Sgt. Frog too, dammit.
I'll turn your neocortex into a flowerpot!...Wow. I (kinda) grew up with their stuff... shame to see them go. Who'll step up to the plate (besides scanlations)?

Although they haven't really put out any new series I've cared about for years now, it's still kinda sad to see one of the key players of the manga boom go.
