Taking note of the fast-growing sales of manga graphic novels—English-language reprints of licensed Japanese comics—Random House is planning to launch its own line of manga graphic novels through its science fiction and fantasy imprint Del Rey Books in the spring of next year. The still-unnamed line of books is one of the earliest by-products of Random House's co-venture with Japanese publishing giant Kodansha, the largest publisher of manga in Japan, announced earlier this year.
