Since Mykx is me and I´d feel honoured if something was being done for me, as well as in the name of functionality, I´m wondering, like, where? Where is it? I don´t see neither!?

From what I remember, at least in America, Beck was one of the titles that Tokyopop has cancelled. But I think it was based more on lack of profitibility than losing the license?
