It sounds like bad news but they're probably dropping the titles that are less popular, which is quite a prudent move really. TBH I've always had trouble keeping up with the sheer volume of new releases that TP brings out so this sounds like less of admission of defeat and more of a reality check.In days gone by they've had the manga sections of bookshops pretty much to themselves but now the likes of Tanoshimi and (finally!) Viz are making inroads, the market has become more competitive.50% of the market is still quite a lot for one company - I'll wager that Tokyopop still have the highest sales of any UK manga distributor so this is probably nothing to be overly worried about.
