Bandai Entertainment To Cease Publishing New Anime And Manga

Bandai Entertainment, the North American manga and anime subsidiary of Namco Bandai Holdings, will cease to publish new DVDs, Blu-rays and manga, starting in February.

The company will be restructured, with most of its contractors and three of its five fulltime staff being laid off.
