Licenses 51:11: TOKYOPOP, despite a slight issue that will be mentioned later, carried on like their world is all nice and peaceful, sharing they’ve licensed the following (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-09-12/tokyopop-releases-cant-buy-my-love-romantically-challenged-3-more-manga-in-2027/.241694): Pitari Mishima’s Can’t Buy My Love Chizu Aoi, Ari Asato, & Kagari Mizuno’s A Fangirl’s Guide to Learning How to Date 3D Men Hi Calo’s Romantically Challenged Arata Minami’s LOVE IS PAIN Kazuma Akutagawa’s How to Fall In Love with You Again 52:14: A good (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-09-08/manga-up-global-adds-dragon-and-flower-i-was-sacrificed-to-a-vampire-but-he-spoils-me-instead-1-/.241519) amount of titles were added (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-09-02/manga-up-global-adds-escaping-overwork-via-my-stalker-manga/.241241) to Square Enix’s Manga UP! service (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-08-31/manga-up-global-adds-escape-from-the-seventh-night-daughter-of-the-dragon-god-in-english/.241110) in the past few weeks: Mio Watanabe’s Dragon and Flower: The Timid Princess and the Ice Sword’s Loyalty Aira Yao & Asana Haine’s I Was Sacrificed to a Vampire, But He Spoils Me Instead!

Pluto will also have a couple more anime from different years added on their service as well. Weird News 55:10: Welp, it might happen again — TOKYOPOP, despite having publishing success in the past year or so due to their focus on shorter shoujo and BL works, may go belly up due to…N-Naruto (https://www.thepopverse.com/comics-tokyopop-reg-cf-funding-cpa-firm-concerns)?!?! 1:01:42: Toei Animation did confirm that there (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2026-09-04/toei-animation-confirms-no-license-for-french-dragon-ball-theme-park/.241376) has not been a license agreement for a planned Dragon Ball manga-themed theme park in France, which means many questions must arise from this news; Kyo Shirodaira and Yuri Kimura is bringing The Record of a Fallen Vampire (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-09-12/the-record-of-a-fallen-vampire-manga-gets-new-series-after-19-years-teases-announcement/.241709) back after 19 years; Black Bullet (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-09-09/shiden-kanzaki-launches-black-bullet-reboot-project-new-original-work/.241551) is also shockingly coming back, this time though it’ll be rebooted; creator Kotoko announced that Megumi Dorokawa will take over as the artist (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-09-07/fake-it-to-break-it-manga-changes-artists/.241470) for the Fake It to Break It! I Faked Amnesia to Break off My Engagement and Now He’s All Lovey-Dovey?! manga, which is less weird but more rare for something like this to happen. 1:11:05: Normally a manga ending in Japan wouldn’t be in this section, but with Manga Diary of a Male Porn Star ending in Japan (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-09-08/manga-diary-of-a-male-porn-star-manga-listed-to-end-with-12th-volume/.241511), maybe Seven Seas will finally be able to finish this series after stopping for some unknown reason; Let’s just say memecoin and Pokémon (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2026-08-30/pokemon-social-media-hacked-to-promote-memecoin/.241081) are not a great combination, and especially on X (Twitter), where security gets rougher and rougher for some users, it is disastrous. 1:18:50: And finally, there are more collaborations occurring, starting with again One Piece and SpongeBob (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2026-09-01/one-piece-spongebob-squarepants-fuse-in-new-mcdonald-happy-meal-commercial/.241181) being a thing, and now Dragon Ball Super and Burger King will also become a thing (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2026-08-30/burger-king-teases-dragon-ball-super-figures-in-u.s/.241111).
