So thrilled about this, Off*Beat was one of the best comics to come from Tokyopop's global manga initiative.

What about Jpop idol? I know they released it in Japan, but I can't get the Japanese volumes so easily...
Edit: If people don't know, Jpop Idol, also known as Eyes on Me, was a series written by a Tokyopop author, drawn by a Japanese mangaka as her debut work, and only released by Tokyopop (although it was first released in Japan).

Agreed. I'm not a fan of OEL because they tended to be terribly made but Off*Beat proved me wrong. I hope her publishing plans go through--I plan to buy it.

Agreed!
I actually squealed when I saw the header for this article. Scared the daylights outta my ma.
I bought vol. 1 of Off*Beat when it first came out but then couldn't find vol. 2, but now I'll absolutely track it down so I can complete this amazing little OEL series. I kept up positive affirmations nearly all of last year that its 3rd vol. would be released, someway, somehow, but after hearing of TP's shutdown I lost hope. Now I could weep with joy. My faith in this has been restored (I'm sure it sounds silly and over-dramatic but it really means a ton to me at this stage in my life).
Now if Tokyopop announces the completion of My Cat Loki I will officially hit the effing ceiling. Hold fast, my heart, hold fast.

Don't get your hopes up; they did. TP gave up on Off*Beat awhile before they shut down. I took this article to mean that the author had found a new publisher.
Of course, Hetalia will eventually be re-licensed. It's only a matter of time.

Holy crap, thank you people above for mentioning how awesome this was. I looked into this series via my local library, and I literally just finished reading the two volumes...I'm in love! I want to track down copies of this for myself, and I will 100% buy the third volume if it does come out in 2012!!

If only the same could be said for Future Diary and Initial D.

I wouldn't be surprised if Yen picked up Future Diary, especially with the fact the anime is airing now. It seems like their sort of thing. Initial D on the other hand, I think scares publishers because of how long it is...
