At the rate things are going, I have a feeling every major light novel publisher will be owned by Kadokawa pretty soon.

They essentially have a monopoly on the light novel industry now.

Well it might make it easier to make and publish more novels and manga and more future anime easier. don't know but does sound good.

I think that says more about the health of the Japanese Light Novel segment of their publishing industry than anything else. Not that we weren't aware of the problems that publishing world wide has had.
I see at least one TokyoPop orphan manga in the Media Factory titles, maybe we will get Kampfer from Kadokawa eventually.
