What the hell?
Del Rey and Marvel are collaborating on X-Men manga

The first, X-Men, was described as a shoujo title - "X-Men meets Fruits Basket or Ouran High School Host Club" according to one panelist - features Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning as an all-boys' school, with the only female student being Kitty Pryde. The work will be aimed at a manga audience; while the characters will be based on famous X-Men heroes, the manga will not require any prior knowledge of the original X-Men comics. The manga is scripted by Raina Telgemeier and Dave Roman, with art by Indonesia-based artist Anzu.


I think my head just exploded.

Pfft, X-men was always shojou with shonen action splashed inbetween.

I think someone at Marvel was surfing fanfiction.net and got an idea!

If there isn't a scene of Kitty Pryde phasing into the men's locker room I cry foul on manga authenticity.

Hmm, reminds me of that whole "I <3 Marvel" thing from a while ago, only crazier.

Right, right, Japan...
