If you remember, ADV went down two or three years ago. Now, in North America at least, manga/light novel publishing giant Tokyopop is gone...
A sad day for all us otaku.

From what I've heard within the industry about Stu levy, I'm not surprised at this news.

Yeah they hadn't really picked up any new licenses in a while a let some of their others peter out into nothingness...it was only a matter of time.
The challenge is getting good licenses...I understand marketing and all that but it seems like there aren't many imports from any of the big, sought-after series in the last couple of years.
There's still Yen Press and Seven Seas for us GSG fans I guess though...
