German blogger Martin Kretschmer, keeper of the excellent TZG2.0, alerted me that Tokyopop Germany honcho Joachim Kaps has posted on a German message board about the future of Tokyopop titles over there. Here’s the original:
Uns steht für Deutschland völlig frei, welche Projekte wir als Buch herausgeben. Es kann insofern dazu kommen, dass Bände, die in den USA nur online erscheinen, in Deutschland als Buch kommen. So möchten wir zum Beispiel den dritten Band von Steady Beat gerne als Buch machen, wenn das Material vorliegt.
and Martin’s translation:
We in Germany are free to decide which projects we publish. It is therefore possible that books that are released online in the USA will be published as actual books in Germany. For instance, we would love to publish a third STEADY BEAT book once the material is available.
We’ll be keeping an eye on them to see if they keep any of the dropped series.
Hi Brigid,
I just saw the PWCW interview by you (of me) go up.
Thanks so much for the interview – it’s really fantastic!!
I’ll be posting it up on my LJ in a few days, but just wanted to drop by and thankyou first. :D
Hi Queenie!
Glad you liked it. I really enjoyed talking to you. I hope our paths cross IRL one of these days!
