Gleaned from Newsarama , it's Gundam Seed and Negima. Both will be unflipped, and will retail for $9.95
They've also sent feelers seeing if Kodansha wants to adapt some their Sci-Fi novels into manga.
Comments: Well, looks like Del-Ray is serious as it has two big name titles for launch. We'll see how this shakes out for the manga business in NA, but this Kodansha/Random House team could be dynamite...

Sci-Fi imprint for Random House, so they're mostly a novel company. The big anime thing they did before this was the Robotech novels. The manga department is being headed up by the former marketing director for Viz, so he does have experience in the field...
This is part of the big Random House/Kodansha deal signed last year IIRC. The two will share properties, meaning Random House probably has first crack at Kodansha manga titles. Meaning Studio Proteus and Tokyopop might be in for a rough ride for future pickups...

Oh yeah. I supposed to get more Negima this week. I guess I was slow right there. I was liking it too.
Never got around to read the Gundam Seed manga. So, I can't comment here. I stopped watching the anime though because I know it will be licensed eventually.

Is that so? I wonder why I wasn't informed of this. I might as well check their site soon (if it is up).
The novels will be priced at $9.99. That's good. Of course, let's hope that I don't catch many mistakes early on.
