Magic Knight Rayearth Omnibus Edition Released

[selenityshiroi.livejournal.com]

After much conflicting information, including the news that Kodansha had apparently recalled all of their North American licenses, the Dark Horse Omnibus edition of Magic Knight Rayearth was released yesterday.

I discovered this when Amazon decided to email me to tell me it had been dispatched, despite me believing that I would one day get a 'this item is no longer available' email.

Hopefully this means that the Cardcaptor Sakura Onmibus part 2 will genuinely be released in August (as is currently listed), as I know several members were upset when it was thought that project cancelled after many had already brought part 1 (including me).

I figured that since the last post regarding this was the news that this release was possibly not going to happen, it was worth letting everyone know that Dark Horse appear to be back in the business of getting these CLAMP omnibuses out on sale!

Amazon had re-opened it for pre-orders a couple weeks back (despite the long time in between when it was unavailable). Dark Horse had also published this QandA (http://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/296/ask-dark-horse-your-questions-answered) where they said they were still working on the CLAMP omnibuses and that they were selling really well and that they're working on Angelic Layer and Tokyo Bablyon omnibuses. They also published

But yeah, I just got my copy about an hour ago from UPS and am super stoked! :D

Why would Kodansha want to recall its North American licenses?

Wow, is this going to be a new trend among these companies? Tokyopop is no more, as I understand it, and may or may not give back its licenses. It's a little mind-boggling. :/
