Del Rey announced two new shonen manga series, Toto! Wonderful Adventure and Haridama Magical Cram School, at MangaNext in Secaucus, New Jersey.  Del Rey also announced a novel, Maid Machinegun by Aaliyah, as well as its intentions to publish excerpts from Kodansha's Faust, a literary magazine, which mixes art and prose.

Yu-Ko Osada's Toto! is a five-volume series of fast-paced manga adventures that gets a good deal of its inspiration from The Wizard of Oz (only with a boy as the protagonist), but is primarily interesting because of Osada's dynamic art.  Atsushi Suzumi's Haridama Magical Cram School is a one-volume (complete) shonen supernatural saga that should have appeal to fans of Negima. 

It should be interesting to see the format Del Rey chooses for Faust.  Published irregularly by Kodansha since 2003 and edited by Katsushi Ohta (who also edits the Kodansha Box imprint), Faust features stories by some of the hottest young pop writers in Japan including Tatsuhiko Takimoto (Welcome to the NHK), Kinoko Nasu (Fate/stay Night), Nishio Ishin (Katanagatari) and Hajime Ueda (FLCL).  While the first seven volumes of Faust were primarily prose with illustrations, a Comic Faust issue was published in the summer of 2006.
