Sounds intriguing to say the least.

Oh no......

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING DEL REY?!?!?!

Why would you go and sell out to the biggest sell-out network in the entire world?!?!? And on top of that, why would you go and make manga versions out of shows that aren't even Japanese/don't deserve mangas to begin with? Why?

*Sigh*

Same answer to both questions: because they will sell. Laughing

(BTW, in Japan, there is no concept of sell-out. So, if you're talking about sell-outs, the Japanese do it all the time and not bat an eye about it.)

I'm amazed that CN, as downright jingoistic as it is right now, would even want to associate with those dirty dirty mangas.

Absolutely true! The consider it good business and wonder what it means to "sell out." Sometimes I do to. I think sell-out means take the money and don't give a shit about what comes after. It is possible that Del Ray will make a product that is amazing.

...

OK, not very likely, but still possible! Very Happy
