Kodansha USA Announces 2011 Titles
I have no idea if a Sunday in December announced a few days in advance seems weird to anyone else for an announcement-heavy regarding Kodansha USA's 2011 series titles, but from the dearth of what looks like on the ground reportage from the event would seem to indicate I'm not alone. Apparently, Kodansha made a bunch of series announcements for 2011 yesterday, for a combination of works previously published by Del Rey, work previously published by other companies not Del Rey, and series brand-new to America, all to begin in May 2011 and the vast majority if not entirety to drop into the market between May and August.
The series that will resume with Kodansha that were published to this point by Del Rey:
Air Gear (Oh! Great),
Arisa (Natsumi Ando),
Fairy Tail (Hiro Mashima),
I am Here! (Emma Toyama),
Negima! (Ken Akamatsu), Negima?! Neo (Ken Akamatsu and Takuya Fujima),
Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei (Koji Kumeta),
Shugo Chara (Peach-Pit), and
The Wallflower (Tomoko Hayakawa). There will also be a omnibus release of
Negima! in July.
The series that will resume with Kodansha that were published by other companies:
Rave Master (Hiro Mashima, Tokyopop), in an omnibus edition;
Until the Full Moon (Sanami Matoh, Broccoli);
Gon (Masahi Tanaka, CMX Manga)
The series that were announced as brand new to English-translation:
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney,
Monster Hunter Orage,
Deltora Quest,
The Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex,
Mardock Scramble,
Animal Land,
Bloody Monday, and
Cage of Eden. I'm a little confused here because I thought, for instance, there were a couple of
Phoenix Wright books at some point or another, but it's not a field I follow closely enough to say for sure. I'm also a little confused generally as to whether or not Kodansha will reprint volumes in series that came out from another publisher if there's a need to in the course of publishing the new books, although I would have to assume so.
