[News] Tokyopop will not be publishing Hetalia Volume 3, or anything else
The Tokyopop Facebook account just updated with this message:
Loyal Fans, we're very thrilled by your excitement but need to clarify: unfortunately we are not re-launching the manga - those properties have reverted to their owners and are amazingly difficult to get back. We’re launching an all new editorial TOKYOPOP newsletter about all things otaku and Asian pop-culture, powered by our friends at GeekChicDaily. We think you’ll really enjoy the news we’ll be bringing and apologize for the initial misunderstanding.
While it doesn't explicitly mention Hetalia by name, the message seems to indicate that all properties have reverted back to their original owners, and Hetalia was the only series that they were publicly toying with "re-launching".
Here's hoping that now that this is settled Yen Press, Viz, or another publisher will license the series and give it a full release.
