Del Rey Manga, an arm of Random House Publishing (the publishing division of Bertelsmann AG), is a company that publishes manga in North America. Del Rey made their debut in May 2004 with four manga titles:
They have since then licensed four additional titles: Othello, The Wallflower (a.k.a. Perfect Girl Evolution), Genshiken, Nodame Cantabile, and Guru Guru Pon-chan.
Del Rey has made several choices in how they format their manga that has made them very popular.
- They keep the manga in its original right to left reading format.
- They include detailed notes from the translators.
- Pages that were in color in the Japanese manga are colored in the Del Rey versions.
- They include previews of the next manga volume with the original Japanese text.
- They include the original honorific suffix at the ends of Japanese names (-san, -kun, etc) in all of their manga. In addition, Del Ray includes at the start of all of their titles a detailed explanation of the honorific system.
