Del Rey, Marvel to Collaborate on X-Men, Wolverine
Oh! But it gets better!
"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. The work will be aimed at a manga audience; while the characters will be based on famous X-Men heroes, the manga will not require any prior knowledge of the original X-Men comics. The manga is scripted by Raina Telgemeier and Dave Roman, with art by Indonesia-based artist Anzu."
My first reaction: An X-Men/Ouran High School Host Club fusion or even crossover would be really freaking funny.
Second reaction: Fruits Basket and Ouran probably aren't the best examples for this (Tohru =/= Kitty), unless they're trying to say "Reverse Harem".
Third reaction: I am extremely curious how this is going to translate. Morbidly curious, even, since I do not mentally connect the stereotypes of shōjo with the X-Men.
Ah, who am I kidding. I just want to see this explode into pairing wars. AND IT WILL. Such is the joy of the Harem genre. ::pops some popcorn::

But there's also a paycheck for the creators involved and I'm kinda biased on that front. I don't know the artist, however, and I haven't seen his(?) work at all. Not even the sketches. So we'll see how it all plays out.
