Clarification on Un-Edited DB Manga

According to Dallas Middauge, Senior Marketing Manager of Viz, the comments made in an online chat by the editor of Dragonball were taken slightly out of context, leading to the rumour that Viz had confirmed plans to publish Dragonball in its unedited format. Viz is actually currently still seeking permission to do so from the series’ Japanese copyright holders. Middauge said that the focus would be to restore the art to its original format and that the translation would be a secondary concern. He did say, though, that if they did fix up the art, it would only make sense that they would also restore the translation to a version more in keeping with the original dialog. Viz should have an answer and be able to make an official statement regarding this matter in approximately 2 weeks.
