Los Angeles, CA (December 8, 2003)—Broccoli
Books, the publishing division of Broccoli International
USA, is set to release the English version of
Galaxy Angel volume 1 on March 3, 2004. This will
be a simultaneous release with the anime DVD of
the same name by Bandai Entertainment.
Galaxy Angel, featured in games,
novels, anime, manga, and merchandise, is one
of Broccoli Co.’s many hit series. Artist
Kanan teams up with renowned writer Ryo Mizuno
(Record of Lodoss War) for the manga series, currently
running in Dragon Age magazine.
Galaxy Angel will be part of
the Broccoli Books Deluxe line, which will feature
additional bonus materials that were not included
in the original Japanese edition. Aside from the
original 4-page color insert, Broccoli Books’
version of Galaxy Angel will feature character
profiles, information about the Galaxy Angel universe,
and bonus manga by Kanan. Each book will have
a voucher redeemable for a limited edition dust
jacket featuring an alternate Kanan illustration.
Broccoli Books will be working
closely with Bandai Entertainment, contributing
to the DVD release by producing an exclusive fan
booklet available in the Limited Edition DVD.
Broccoli Books and Bandai Entertainment is also
co-producing a Galaxy Angel website scheduled
to launch early next year.
