Being able to write a romance in a novel is not the same thing as being able to write a romance novel, though. One is a plot point. The other is working within a genre space with established market expectations.

Tyrannical British Airways was the airline which last year had denied an American-British dual citizen from boarding on the basis that she used her US passport to return to the UK, even though it was 2025 and Home Office didn’t enact the law when you’d have to use a British passport until 2026.

Earlier today at work, I asked one of our old timers, a bald dapper gentleman who always wear a vest and tie, what he used to look like in his heyday (70s and 80s). The first thing that came out of my mouth was, “Why were you so beautiful?!” Every picture looked like a cover for an album.

Meanwhile, in other publishing news: “If there's a smoking gun to Tokyopop's losses in 2025, it would be its venture into events by obtaining the license to be the exclusive Naruto exhibition promoter and producer in Europe, despite not having the rights for the manga or anime.”

If there's a smoking gun to Tokyopop's losses in 2025, it would be its venture into events by obtaining the license to be the exclusive Naruto exhibition promoter and producer in Europe, despite not having the rights for the manga or anime.

"In our case specifically, we did great in 2024. Then in 2025, we took a good amount of that capital, and we placed a big bet; we took a big swing at the experience business, which we wanted to be in," Tokyopop founder/majority owner Stu Levy tells Milton Griepp of ICv2.
Levy, who says his primary residence is in Berlin, decided to launch the event in Germany where, he admits in retrospect, "material costs are super-expensive."
