I tried submitting a news item, but it was denied despite Viz having confirmed the license to Anime News Network. They (whoever "they" are since the denial message doesn't say who denied it, nor does it allow me to reply if I have any questions) apparently want an official press release.

You can read the announcement here. The first volume is due out in October this year.

I hope they bring over the anime, too. :)

ANN isn't a source for our news. If we cannot confirm it anywhere else, we won't just rely on something ANN has said. I hope you understand, thanks.

Well, I disagree with that. ANN is quite reliable for news and such (the encyclopedia part, not so much). But MAL has a lot of weird little quirks, and this must be another of them. Regardless of your inability to accept confirmed information, the manga has been licensed. There really aren't that many good sources for anime news outside of ANN. ANN is actually the best source for such news now that Newtype died due to ADV's inability to make money despite everything working for them.

You're free to see this as an another weird quirk of ours, however we're somewhat hesitant to trust the site that a lot of the time gives 2chan as the source for their news.

So don't accept news where that's the case. Throwing out everything because they report rumors from 2chan seems a little extreme.

And here's the press release proving ANN wasn't lying or making things up. I've submitted a new news item.
