Chiekokawabe chill dude. "On August 31, 2009, Tokyopop announced that Japanese manga publisher Kodansha was allowing all of its licensing agreements with both the North American and German divisions of Tokyopop to expire for reasons unknown. Due to this loss in licensing, Tokyopop was forced to leave several Kodansha series unfinished, including popular series Rave Master, Initial D, GetBackers, and Life. It also will be unable to reprint any previously published volumes, rendering all Kodansha-owned Tokyopop releases out-of-print." It'll get reprinted by another company. Wait for it.

Soon everyone will forget.

Aside from that, even if they cancel the series, the least they could do is tell us what they plan to do. You hear that, Tokyopop? You're horrible!

07.21.2009 12:00 AM


June 12th 2009, and no indication of Vol. 10 being released yet. *La sigh* I know it's absolutly worth the wait, for this manga...but come on....really. Let's hope we hear something soon!

Hurry the f*** up.

I read another manga by this author on a scan site and it was amazing. I really wanted to read this, so i looked on a scan site. I wanted to buy them because they were so good. But since tokyopop is being so incredibly unreliable I think I may just download them. If I'm going to pay for something, I expect to be able to FINISH IT. Tokyopop is becoming a horribly unreliable company and them being that way is making them lose more and more customers. People will always read stuff online. But usually if it's good, they will buy it. But if the companies start acting like this... They're going to lose everything.

Are there any updates on this series continuing yet??? PM Me

03.13.2009 12:00 AM


I feel the same way. -_- If these cancellations/pauses keep going on, I might just stick to other trustworthy companies. I really, really love this manga but if it isn't going to be released, I might as well read it online. I bet TP is losing their customers right and left.

02.26.2009 12:00 AM


Seriously, whats with the holdup? Come on, TokyoPop, start releasing the other volumes already! It's like I'm starting to lose interest with TokyoPop altogether with all of these cancellations going on!

02.17.2009 12:00 AM


this drama is AMAZING. if you haven't seen the live action you can watch it at mysoju.com i hope the manga continues. :T the story is just so good.

02.09.2009 12:00 AM


Gr, now I'm REALLY getting impatient. Hurry up and release the new volume. It's been more than half a year. Hell, it's almost been a WHOLE year. What are you guys just sitting on your butts for? It's ticking me off!

01.28.2009 12:00 AM


It's kinda sad though! I almost cried!

01.27.2009 12:00 AM

can i read all the vol. out so far online if i can were

11.18.2008 12:00 AM


They are having liscening problems because, if I remember correctly, the people who make it want to start own company, so its a bit iffy if Tokyopop will publish the rest of it or not.....I love the series too and I'm dying to read the next one.

11.13.2008 12:00 AM


...must...read...MORE!!! Ugh, like it wasn't a pain enough waiting every other couple of months for a new volume, but now they post-poned volume 10, wtf?! I would contact the people in charge here, but I'm sure that they already have enough email about this. Anyone have a clue as to what is going on here?!

09.18.2008 12:00 AM


I love this manga! At first, I thought it got canceled, but since it's still on the site, of course it isn't! But I hope you guys hurry up and make a new volume. I'll continue to buy them, of course, but I'm starting to get impatient...

09.13.2008 12:00 AM

i watched the whole drama and loved it! the manga must be really good too..i've only read like two chapters or so,,but i just can't help but be a little creeped when ayumu's cuts,,...maybe it just freaks me cause i've done it before >_>

08.16.2008 12:00 AM


I only read this volume, and I already feel like I'm ADDICTED to the series! Amuyu has a long a** way to go!

08.16.2008 12:00 AM


Well i can say this manga is good. I read all volumes in japanese though becuase i am too impatient to read english version.

07.25.2008 12:00 AM


i watched the drama for this manga and i truly loved it even though i read that they changed it a bit but i want to read it i would recommed everyone to read it and watch the show:)

06.17.2008 12:00 AM


This has got to be one of the most disterbing mangas around but it's so addictive! I can't stop wanting to read it even though my closest friend used to cut and it almost drove me to suicide. I'm glad that I found this manga: it's helped me come to terms with it.

04.16.2008 12:00 AM


This is a pretty good manga and i also watch the show. It makes me so mad on how they treat this girl. Why won't she say anything? Well, I guess It would be hard, but at least try T.T

03.03.2008 12:00 AM


is there anyplace online i can get scanlations???

02.19.2008 12:00 AM


this is like, one of my fave mangas. i struggle with cutting and suicide myself, and it's good to read about people w/ similar issues.

02.11.2008 12:00 AM

This manga is my absolute favorite of all. The story-line is just-... wow. Wow is all I can say really. I'm going to buy the whole collection as soon as I get paid. Ha ha. I'm in love with it that much, but I haven't read the sixth volume or ones after that since I was only sitting in Books-A-Million one day and I saw a friend of mine reading it, but she doesn't exactly like it. I'll have to say, when Ayumu started cutting, I couldn't start holding my wrists because that part just makes me shiver. I love all the twists and turns. It just gets me pumped and I can't stop reading. Ha ha! When I went back to the Manga self of the book store, I was just, like, spazzy when I saw that they didn't have the sixth volume. The part with Manami and how they just suddenly turn like that on Ayumu and how everything can just turn into a big misunderstanding just gets to me, because I'm a High School student and I'll have to say... I can relate to Ayumu alot {minus the cutting}. I used to hang with friends like Manami and I still sort of do... I just love how the writer just made everything turn like that because friendships do really go that way alot. I just love the grasp of reality mixed into this drama and I'll have to say... Manami's boyfriend's role... just... makes my jaw drop the whole time. I just love the twists and turns! If you haven't read this manga then you've missed out more than you know! It's definetly a must-read! Check it out! I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it!

09.08.2007 12:00 AM

08.02.2007 12:00 AM

07.30.2007 12:00 AM


WOW.. THIS IS REALLY UH IDK, BUT BE PREPARED FOR A RIDE IF YOU WANNA READ THIS..

Losing Shii-chan is so painful for Ayumu that she starts cutting her wrists for comfort. Hoping for a fresh start, Ayumu arrives at her new high school and finally opens up to a new friend, Manami. But will Manami prove to be the friend that Ayumu truly needs or send her further in a downward spiral?
