Heard back from a T-pop rep on the Kino no Tabi cancellation et al. Apparently it’s all not true; Kino no Tabi has not been dropped and Slayers 9+ is not being published at this time. Apologies for the error, but hey, it’s good news for you Kino fans!

I wouldn’t hold any high hopes for Tabi though, according to Peter Ahlstrom from TP US:
Also it does not appear there has yet been any change in the status of Kino no Tabi. I don’t want that statement to inspire any fruitless sense of hope, though.
That said, this just proves what i’ve been saying for over a year now. TP UK dosent know squat, and treats the UK fan base as second rate fans. Damned frustrating

The Kino no Tabi novel was brilliant and I impatiently wait for more. Don’t let me down Tokyo Pop.

Peter Ahlstron just emailed me, and gave permision for me to post this. This is what he has to say on Tabi:
Saying Kino no Tabi isn’t happening anymore due to licensing problems isn’t really incorrect and may be the least complicated thing to say in a forum like that. If Kino no Tabi does get restarted eventually (if and when the licensing issue gets worked out, and it may never get worked out), it will be a rescue of an essentially canceled series. Until such a time it’s easiest to consider it canceled.
