Viz Confirms Licensing Delays with X Manga

Due to protracted licensing problems, Viz has decided to remove X/1999 from the lineup of its monthly manga-anthology magazine Animerica Extra. The long delayed seventh X/1999 graphic novel has also been delayed indefinitely. Currently the search is on for another format that will best serve the manga series. “We all love CLAMP’s work,” comments X/1999 editor Julie Davis. “We’ve brought it back twice before, and the minute we have a contract, we’ll find a way to continue the X/1999 series again… but for now we have to wait until it’s legal to publish.”
