Tokyopop Adds Benjamin's Remember Manhua, Reschedules Titles

The North American publisher Tokyopop has revealed to the ICv2 retail news source that it is releasing the Remember manhua from the Chinese artist Benjamin early next year. Tokyopop already released Benjamin's Orange graphic novel earlier this year. At its first full-length online discussion panel ("webinar") on Thursday, Tokyopop confirmed that it has rescheduled the following titles:

V.B. Rose volume 6
September 29, 2009

Aria Vol. 5
November 3, 2009

Fruits Basket Ultimate Edition Vol. 4
January 5, 2010 (depending on demand, Tokyopop may release all 23 volumes in hardcover)

Tactics volume 8
May 1, 2010

Chibi Vampire novel 6
April 6, 2010

Trinity Blood volume 3
November 3, 2009

However, Tokyopop does not have a firm answer on whether it can publish B'tX volume 16 or more volumes of the Kino's Journey novel series. They hope in the next six months they will have an answer on B'tX. Tokyopop is waiting on Gravitation's creator for more volumes of that title, but advises readers not to "hold your breath." On the other hand, the publisher noted that it "had tremendous success with .hack, and you will probably see more."
