Gollancz Manga Releases First Books

According to this Times article that bites off a bit more than it can chew, it loks like Gollancz has released its first manga titles in partnership with Viz. Those titles released August 1 are Yu-Gi-Oh!, Fushigi Yugi, Dragon Ball, and Case Closed.

What I still don't understand is how this publishing endeavor will work in terms of English-language material available in the country's comic book shops and through on-line sites like Amazon UK. I don't recall hearing about a big purge of translated manga in the UK, but I also can't imagine Gollancz doing anything with British editions of manga if manga fans have already purchased multiple volumes of each series in their North American form.

Simon Hogg makes a good case for price points
