"Los Angeles-based manga publishing company TokyoPop has confirmed that it will be closing its U.S. manga publishing division at the end of May 2011, so events are now in motion to make this sad event a reality.

As of yesterday, anyone trying to visit TokyoPop.com was redirected to TokyoPop's Facebook page. Is this just temporary until the promised redesigned and streamlined website goes online, or is this how things will be from now on? Their Facebook page doesn't offer many clues, so we'll just have to wait and see.

While we know that TokyoPop is maintaining their publishing operations in Germany, and continuing their efforts in film and TV production, a few questions lingered. What will happen to the manga series that are ongoing or only have a few volumes left? What will happen to the rights to the original comics that were created for TokyoPop? And what will they do with all of the manga and memorabilia in its offices and warehouse? Today, people on TokyoPop's mailing list found out the answer to the last question."
