Told you it was left-field. As reported by Anime News Network, emphasis mine:

Representatives from Del Rey Manga and Marvel Comics announced today at the New York Anime Festival that the two companies will collaborate on two of Marvel’s most popular franchises, X-Men and Wolverine.

The first, X-Men, was described as a shōjo title — “X-Men meets Fruits Basket or Ouran High School Host Club” according to one panelist — features Xavier’s Institute for Higher Learning as an all-boys’ school, with the only female student being Kitty Pryde.

[…]

Also announced was a collaborative series centered on the self-healing fan-favorite X-Men character Wolverine; details were sparse. Anthony Johnston will handle writing duties, and no artist for the title was announced.

Both titles were given a tentative publication date of Spring 2009.

(Yes, they spelt my name wrong. Plus ça change.)
