As you know, Futaro Yamada and Masaki Segawa are the genius creators behind our fan-favorite manga Basilisk, the tale of star-crossed lovers and warring ninjas that inspired not only a breathtaking anime but also a brilliant live-action movie. Del Rey Manga is delighted to announce that we’ll be publishing another fantastic series from these creators: The Yagyu Ninja Scrolls: Revenge of the Hori Clan.

A rebellion in Aizu Territory is brutally crushed, leaving most of the nuns in a local convent slaughtered. Most of them. The surviving nuns will have their vengeance and for that purpose have dedicated themselves to the study of the deadliest of ninja arts. Pity those who stand against them now.

Look for the first volume of this tale of ninjitsu and nunnery in November!

NEW YORK, NY May 15, 2007 Del Rey Manga, an imprint of Ballantine Books at the Random House Publishing Group, announced today that it has acquired an original graphic novel starring Odd Thomas, perhaps the most memorable and beloved character Dean Koontz has ever created. The charismatic young fry cook from Pico Mundo, California has appeared in three New York Times bestselling novels: Odd Thomas, Forever Odd, and Brother Odd, which was one of Koontz’s fastest-selling hardcovers. Odd, who has the ability to communicate with the dead, has inspired more readers’ letters than any other of his characters, according to Koontz.

Koontz’s characters including Odd, his girlfriend Stormy Llewellyn, Pico Mundo Chief of Police Porter, the ghost of Elvis Presley, and many more will be drawn by one of the top original-English-language manga artists working today, Queenie Chan. Chan, author of the popular mystery-horror series The Dreaming, will script the story as well. Publication is planned for Summer 2008.
