Bowie!

Because everything needs a sequel!

Tokyopop is going to release Return to Labyrinth. Apparently, Jareth still remembers Toby. Now that he's a teen, Jareth plans to take Toby (oh gawd, my mind just went to the slashy place) and make him the next Goblin King.

I do love how the Tokyopop summary does not mention Sarah AT ALL.

And Toby totally looks like Ouran's Nekozawa.

This is AWESOME.

Sarah is probably some old married lady by now, right? ;)

It'll be like the Chronicles of Narnia where Sarah is too old to go to the Goblin Kingdom, and it's all up to prettypretty Toby.

Aww, I almost kinda shipped Jareth/Sarah.

Based only on the summary and that Sarah isn't on the cover, the creative team seems to think that all the little girls who loved the film and Bowie in his tight pants have grown up to become manga-reading, bishie-loving, yaoi fangirls. I get the impression it will be full of fan service of what they think girl readers would want (so ultimately no Sarah because yaoi fangirls won't have any of that icky het sex).

It's very amusing.

Checking out the Henson.com press release, Toby is 13 so now it's a shoujo manga with shotacon overtones--which makes this kind of similar to Loveless (another Tokyopop manga actually from Japan about a young boy who meets a mysterious man who has strong romantic ties to his older and believed to be dead sibling).
Shit, Sarah's probably dead, isn't she.
