On April 15, 2011, TokyoPop announced that it would close its Los Angeles, CA-based North American publishing operations on May 31, 2011. According to the release, Tokyopop's film and television projects, as well as European publishing operations and global rights sales, would not be closing. The UK branch would cease to operate after May 31 due to their reliance on the importing of the North American branch's product.

American branch was defunct, scans of IPs where the license expired (only of the IPs that were not picked up by other publishers) are allowed!

American branch operational again since the beginning of 2018. Scans of newly acquired IP licenses are forbidden.

!! Scans (in German) of the German TokyoPop published works are still forbidden!!
