According to a new article<\/strong><\/a> published today at Publisher’s Weekly Comics Week, Tokyopop Marketing Director Marco Pavia has stated that many of the books listed as “canceled” in releases on blogs and from Diamond are not actually canceled, just postponed while awaiting a rescheduling.<\/p>\n

“However, Pavia says the books on both lists were postponed, not permanently canceled. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We obviously have restructured our publishing program and are going month by month with fewer titles,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he says. That requires going back to the license holders to discuss the new schedules. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are talking about either revising the schedule or looking at alternatives such as online [publication],\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he says. While he did not rule out dropping some titles, he says, if that happens, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We will certainly let everyone know.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d ” – Publisher’s Weekly Comics Week<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think it’s important to note that Tokyopop has refused to outright state that any title is canceled through any official channels, and the only public reports of complete book cancellations have come from the creators of affected work, like last week’s announcement from Shutterbox<\/em> creator and Voice Of Gir<\/strong><\/em> Rikki Simmons that Shutterbox<\/em> would not continue with Tokyopop. It’s entirely within Tokyopop’s right to be cagey about their publishing plans, they’ve got no impetus or even reason to announce that they’ve dropped a license… That’s exactly the sort of thing that gives your competitors a competitive edge.<\/p>\n

That said, a complete list of cancellations was never released, was it? I sort of assumed that the list I got would’ve eventually leaked its way to the net but I suppose not. Well then, in the interests of clarity, here is a list of every title originally scheduled by Tokyopop for release to the book trade in Fall 2008 that is no longer being released to the book trade in Fall 2008. Whether these are eventually coming, or not, not even Tokyopop can say, apparently.<\/p>\n

Some Notes: <\/strong>Longtime readers of the site will notice several titles appearing here that were previously on the chopping block during Tokyopop’s first “maybe we’ll try and publish this stuff online” experiment, which resulted in me freaking out about not getting to finish Dragon Head<\/em>, which I did, and which is great, btw.<\/p>\n

The cancellations seem to be along strict sales lines, which makes the inclusion of two Kingdom Hearts<\/em> volumes sort of baffling, until you realize of course that they will actually be rescheduled to keep the cash flow more consistent.<\/p>\n

Several of the titles above were specifically mentioned as to be rescheduled, like the Chibi Vampire 1-3 <\/em>collection and the Star Trek books.<\/p>\n

I have to wonder if PW asked direct questions of TP or Pavia on this one about specific titles? I know Brigid (the article’s author) is a fan of some of these books, and I’d personally like to know if Beck, Tokyo Tribes, <\/em>or Fruits Basket Ultimate Edition 4<\/em> are actually coming or not… Or if they’d answer the question even if they were asked directly.<\/p>\n
