ANN reported on some Tokyopop titles that have recently been listed on Diamond as "canceled by publisher". Aishiatteru Futari (Love Hurts) is on that list :(. This is a BL title written by Tanaka Suzuki that contains a few stories. My favorite isn't even BL, it's the final one dealing with a guy and his crush on his best friend and...aliens? Of course aliens! This is Tanaka Suzuki we're talking about! In my opinion I find the characters more likable, the flow more fluid, and the story more Tanaka Suzuki-ish, which completely makes the manga worth getting. I understand everyone is cutting back, and nothing against TP for tightening its belt, it's just too bad that AF is affected.
But if you're looking for more Tanaka Suzuki, as I always am, Libre will be releasing the second volume of Aitsu no Daihonmei on February 10th.
This story was first released as a one shot in b-Boy Phoenix volume 2, which focused, basically, on unattractive characters (Saika Kunieda's story in this volume is hysterical). I guess people really liked Suzuki's story because we're now two volumes in.
You can check out the rest of Libre's February releases here.
EDIT: Aishatteru Futari will be delayed, not canceled. Yay!
