Last week, on May 12, Hikari no Kiseki's seventh birthday passed. As usual, we only celebrate the anniversary of our first release (on September 12), but it's rather surprising how far we have come.

With the closure of several of our biggest projects recently, we will be looking to complete our older ongoing projects. We hope to have more Ask Dr. Rin! and funfun factory out in the coming weeks, with the possibility of a little more Comet-san in the horizon. We will not be picking up any additional projects (aside from an anniversary surprise or two) in favor of finishing our backlog. There's a little life left in us yet...

The Right Stuf International's production arm, Nozomi Entertainment, has licensed ARIA for English language distribution! To support the official English language release of the series, we have stopped all work on the title. Please cease distributing the series and, if you like the show, please support the show's creators by preordering the first season DVD set!

Most of you have probably noticed that we have not been active in the past month. A larger than normal workload, both academically and at the workplace, has forced us to stop for the time being. We do expect to get back to some level of capacity soon, though. We appreciate everyone's patience, and hopefully we won't have to keep you all waiting much longer!

The forums have now been upgraded to phpBB 3. Those that had issues registering a new account under the old forum should now be able to register without issue. Please let us know if there are any issues!

I'm sure it doesn't come as any surprise at this point, but we have decided not to continue with the Kami-chama Karin anime. If you enjoy the series, please support TOKYOPOP's English release of the manga!
