    Del Rey Manga was the manga-publishing imprint of Del Rey Books, a branch of Ballantine Books, which in turn is part of Random House, the publishing division of Bertelsmann. It was formed as part of a cross-publishing relationship with Japanese publisher Kodansha. Some of the Del Rey titles, such as Tsubasa Chronicle and xxxHolic, are published in the United Kingdom by Tanoshimi. Tricia Narwani, the editor of Del Rey, stated that "Del Rey finds most of its talent through conventions and existing professional contacts".

    On October 4, 2010, Kodansha and Random House announced that the US division of Kodansha will take over publishing over all Del Rey Manga titles as well as their own manga, starting on December 1, 2010. Random House will act as the sales and marketing distributor.

    Titles

    Del Rey made its debut in May 2004 with four manga titles:

  • Mobile Suit Gundam Seed (Kidō Senshi Gundam SEED) - by Masatsugu Iwase
  • Negima! Magister Negi Magi (Mahō Sensei Negima!) - by Ken Akamatsu
  • Lana Del Rey

    Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (born June 21, 1985), better known by her stage name Lana Del Rey, is an American singer, songwriter, and model. Born and raised in New York, Del Rey embarked on a music career in 2005 and first received widespread attention in 2011, when the music video for her single "Video Games" became a viral internet sensation. Del Rey received further recognition after her major-label debut Born to Die peaked at number two on the U.S. charts and was the fifth best-selling album of 2012. A remix of its single "Summertime Sadness", produced by Cedric Gervais, peaked at number six on the U.S., and the Paradise EP followed that November, garnering Del Rey her first Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album. Three of the EP's tracks were featured in her short film Tropico, which premiered in December 2013.

    In 2014, Del Rey released her third studio album, Ultraviolence, to positive critical and commercial reception; it became her first number-one record in the United States. In 2015, following a North American tour with Courtney Love, Del Rey released her fourth studio album, Honeymoon, to further positive critical and commercial response; it had the fourth highest first week sales by a female artist in 2015. As of 2015, she is the most streamed female artist on Spotify in the United States, and the fourth worldwide. Her music has been noted for its cinematic style, its preoccupation with themes of tragic romance and melancholia, and its references to pop culture, particularly 1950s and 1960s Americana.

    Lana Del Rey (EP)

    Lana Del Rey is the second extended play (EP) by American singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey. It was released on January 10, 2012 in the United States and Canada through Interscope Records. After publishing two unsuccessful works, her first EP, Kill Kill; and her first studio album, Lana Del Ray, the four-track EP was released in anticipation of Del Rey's major label debut Born to Die (2012). The tracks are influenced by several genres, including indie pop, hip hop, and alternative music. The lyrics and melody were written primarily by Del Rey, Patrik Berger, and Justin Parker. Production of the album was led by Emile Haynie, who also co-wrote "Blue Jeans".

    Contemporary critics gave mixed reviews of the EP. Music videos accompanied each single, which were produced by Del Rey herself and uploaded to YouTube. Although the video for "Video Games" that Del Rey filmed with her webcam was not intended as a single at the time, it garnered enough online buzz to be noticed by Stranger Records, opening the opportunity for Del Rey to sign a joint record deal with Interscope and Polydor, leading to the eventual publication of the EP and additional videos for "Blue Jeans" and "Born to Die".

    Lolita

    by: Lana Del Rey

    Would you be mine?
    Would you be my baby tonight?
    Could be kissing my fruit punch lips in the bright sunshine
    'Cause I like quite a lot, everything you got
    Don't you know? It's you that I adore
    Though I make the boys fall like dominoes
    Kiss me in the d-a-r-k dark tonight
    (D-a-r-k, do it my way)
    Kiss me in the p-a-r-k park tonight
    (P-a-r-k, let them all say)
    Hey Lolita, hey! Hey Lolita, hey!
    I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play
    Hey Lolita, hey! Hey Lolita, hey!
    Whistle all you want, but I'm not gonna stay
    No more skipping rope skipping heartbeats with the boys downtown
    Just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down
    I could be yours, I could be your baby tonight
    Topple you down from your sky 40 stories high
    Shining like a God, can't believe I caught you and so
    Look at what I bought, not a second thought - oh, Romeo
    Kiss me in the d-a-r-k dark tonight
    (D-a-r-k, do it my way)
    Kiss me in the p-a-r-k park tonight
    (P-a-r-k, let them all say)
    Hey Lolita, hey! Hey Lolita, hey!
    I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play
    Hey Lolita, hey! Hey Lolita, hey!
    Whistle all you want, but I'm not gonna stay
    No more skipping rope skipping heartbeats with the boys downtown
    Just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down
    I want my cake and I want to eat it too
    I want to have fun and be in love with you
    I know that I'm a mess with my long hair
    And my suntan, short dress, bare feet, I don't care
    What they say about me, what they say about me
    Because I know that it's l-o-v-e
    You make me happy, you make me happy
    And I never listen to anyone
    (Let them all say!)
    Hey Lolita, hey! Hey Lolita, hey!
    I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play
    Hey Lolita, hey! Hey Lolita, hey!
    Whistle all you want, but I'm not gonna stay
    No more skipping rope skipping heartbeats with the boys downtown
