I'm not sure I understand the implication of that.

i'm quite sure you understand though.

I cannot feel "worry", so don't worry.

CRAPcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap!!!!
That's gotta be BeBeautiful!

*rolls around on the floor bawling and pounding the floor and punching the air*

Edit: It doesn't say anything yet on their site (BeBeautiful). It's still flashing Kizuna 6. But maybe....?
Crap. I hope someone keeps it going!!

ok, so i was wrong.

but from the reactions of you two, i'm guessing a very large yaoi base is with this publishing company.

Are you insinuating that I'm very large???

*snicker*
One of these days I'm getting that shirt: "Coffee, Tea, or Yaoi?"
Yes, I'm a shameless yaoi fangirl. <.<
Heh, I carry my crap to work with me every day in that BeBeautiful messenger bag.

But no one's got a CLUE as to what it's about.

And no one has the guts to ask, either.

Calm down! It's all right. Everything has been resolved. You missed a later story.

Less than a month after ceasing operations, one of the largest Japanese Yaoi publishers has a new home for its material. The publishing division of bankrupt Biblos has been acquired by Animate Group, according to an April 20 report from the Shinbunka newspaper.

Animate Group is a joint venture between Animate, Movic, and Frontier Works. The merchandising giant has announced plans to establish a new company that would continue to print Yaoi, including the BE x BOY magazine.

Central Park Media's Kizuna, Kitty Media's Level C and Skyscrapers of Oz, and Digital Manga Publishing's Our Kingdom are among the Biblos titles currently being released in America.

Hope that makes you feel all better now!

But isn't Central Park Media going bankrupt as well? I thought they were
cancelling all their manga titles and lots of anime, since they just don't
make enough money.

Maybe I'm wrong about that, but that's the last thing I heard about CPM.
Which is totally ironic that one bankrupt company acquired another (once)
bankrupt companies properties.

Well, CPM has licenses for Biblos titles, but from the article is seems Biblos is being aquired by Animate group another Japanese company. As for individual CPM titles, I'll have to see what I can find. If what you say is true, then some titles may not be contunued. Perhaps Tokyopop will try to get the more popular ones; they just took over a number of ADV titles including Tactics (YAY!)

edit: So far, all I can find is that while they laid off a lot of their employees, CPM hasn't filed for bankruptcy as of yet, and they are still posting release dates on anime. I can't find any manga info yet.

Thanks Vapalla!

From what I remember, Duck Prince and Full House were two CPM manga titles
that were put on indefinite hiatus. This was some time ago tho, so things
may have changed. I hope so! I was reading several of their titles before
this happened and was quite sad about it.

I didn't know Tokyopop swooped in and got some ADV titles, that's great!
I hope they do the same for CPM.

vapalla · Post by **vapalla** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 11:18 am

The only info I found on US Manga Corps was that the Yaoi line was successful & profitable for them. If they are going to continue, hopefully they can revive it.

I should have added info on new Tokyopop titles since I mentioned them:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention.php?id=344

They are completely re-releasing Tactics. They are also publishing Aria and Aqua which was the first part of that series. All that was mentioned at AX. CPM didn't attend I guess, since there was no report on them from AX listed. (not surprising!)

Cloud · Post by **Cloud** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 11:19 am

Let's wait and see what they do.

wELCOME cONSUMER · Post by **wELCOME cONSUMER** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 11:34 am

Yeah, CPM didn't attend. Couldn't afford to. They also didn't attend Akon
and neither did ADV. So sad.
