Nova editora de mangá nos Estados Unidos

Em meio a notícias ruins, parece que surgiu uma luzinha na escuridão: ex-funcionários da Aurora anunciaram a fundação de uma nova editora, a Manga Factory. Segundo seus fundadores, não se trata de uma editora subsidiária, como era a Aurora em relação à Ohzora, é uma editora totalmente norte americana. O ANN informa ainda que vários títulos da finada Aurora vêm sendo distribuídos em formato digital pela ANIMATE USA. Segundo o anúncio, eles vão publicar todos os gêneros de mangá, e citaram fantasia (?), shoujo, BL e josei.

ERRATA: Eu recebi um e-mail da newsletter da Aurora. Realmente, a editora é a mesma, mudou de nome somente. Então, a Manga Factory é realmente a Aurora, mas sem laços com a editora Ohzora. Segue a nota:
