I have a connection on Facebook for Tokyopop. Recently Stu Levy CEO of Tokyopop asked on Facebook if anyone would be interested if Volume 3 of Hetalia Axis Powers should be printed. Most including myself said yes if they could also print the final books of other titles that were due to finish or books that just started. I had 16 of their titles that I was reading or just started reading.
I don't know if Levy is looking for other responses from other sources to his question and how to get ahold of them.
One thing asked on a comic website could this be a means for publishers to know what to print than mass printing.

It's a trap! ;A; Stu just wants more money since he misses the manga money that was coming in. >___< I for one will not give Stu anymore of my lunch money for his missed up way of CEO-ing something I and many other loved. D: Go back to "movie making" Stu, you seem to love that more then manga after all. ;__; *Sobs*

Tokyopop is gone. Like, permanently. Licenses are gone and everything. So I don't know what this guy is trying to pull, but...

That... may be a fake profile. I wouldn't trust it.

No, more like Stu Levy
making money where he can. In fact, B&N is about to place all Tokyopop manga
on clearance.

Yeah, didn't Tokyopop post a note on Facebook saying that all licensed have been returned to their original holders? In other words, all series licenses go back to the mangaka who originally created the series, and it's up to every individual mangaka as to which company re-licenses his/her titles (if they're re-licensed at all).
