    So, I've heard that Tokyopop recently went into near-bankrupcy, and due to that, they're no longer translating less popular titles to save money.

    This, unfortunately, means that the KHII manga has been dropped, so they won't be finishing the last couple of volumes. So this means that we're not going to be able to buy the last copies of the manga here unless another company decides to pick it up.

    Thoughts or comments? I heard another series was saved from been dropped by a large group persistant fan's emails and such, does anybody think that could work again if we got trying?

    I hope that isn't true, I really enjoy reading the KH mangas, they give such an interesting and amusing slant to them game. ._.

    Maybe we could try protesting in emails, but I don't know how big of a group we'd need to make an impression.

    That really sucks. Well, if they do get dropped, there would be nothing they could do against fan scans of the series, which is what I usually defect to anyways >.<

    I wouldn't say it's dropped, most likely it's stalled due to the financial crisis. Maybe they will continue it but not in the near future.

    I hope they continue it, it's so entertaining. I guess this is why it's never in the bookstore when I check.

    And just fyi, online petitions or protests rarely do anything.

    Ah man, I really enjoyed those Mangas.... and I never got to see volume 3. :( This stinks... I've played the game, but I still enjoy the mangas, they're entertaining in their own way. :D

    I'll miss you KH mangas!:nono:

    That's pretty bad. I did get some previous KH ones, but I haven't collected them much.

    i wanted to see what xemnas looked like in the manga too, since he's the only one they keep hiding.

    darn i guess.

    I wish they won't stop translating KH II! I want to know what will happen even though I've already played the game! All I want to see are the major differences between the manga and the actual game! D:
