Just a bit of sort-of news.

When I was taking a look at ANN's coverage of the New York Anime Festival, one sentence at the end of the Day One description of Tokyopop's panel jumped out at me:

"The Scrapped Princess novels have also been on hiatus to due high translation costs, and there is no firm decision yet as to what will happen with this series."

Sadness. ):

That's too bad. :/ I was surprised they picked up the novels in the first place--I mean, the anime version isn't exactly wildly popular--but it's not cool for them to drop it three volumes in. How the hell high can these translation costs be, anyway?
