 Dark Horse, an American publishing company who mostly publishes comics and the occasional translated manga, has confirmed it's going to publish Clover.

Dark Horse isn't a publisher whose publications are distributed massively in New Zealand, except through comic stores, but this means Clover's being republished YAY!

 ETA: The Haruhi manga and novels have also been liscensed and due for release NEXT year.
Also, a new animation for Dragon Ball will be released in JUMP related event.

Yeah, I saw that. I'm really happy but having difficulty being truly gleeful because myteeth. Hurt. Likehell.
But does this mean you're a Clover fan too now?

I just have insane love for how it's presented. (AKA, the story is pretty, but not as pretty as it looks.)

Hmmm, so Tokyopop is done with Clover eh? Or i wonder if they lost the licensing for it.

I'm not quite sure frankly. It's been rumoured for quite a while that DH would rerelease it, but I haven't heard any details on why DH is and not TokyoPop.
Don't quote me on this, but I think DH went to TokyoPop and went "We're interested in publishing 'Clover', will you give us permission to do so? We're not interested in the license, we just want to publish it."
I know this has been done before, so it might've happened here.
