News - Gunslinger Girl Manga - Delays become an Omnibus 3?

So, I guess I'll post this after all.

If you weren't aware, Seven Seas has picked up the Gunslinger Girl manga.

According to ANN, Seven Seas was planning to release two omnibus covering the first six volumes, and then continue with single volumes after that. However, at this point in time they've released the first two omnibus, and now there's a third omnibus available for pre-order on RightStuf.

Omnibus Collection 3 will contain volumes 7-8, and will be available by Oct. 25th.

It appears that ANN's original article did not mention anything about single volumes:

..and will then release later volumes of Gunslinger Girl starting with volume 7.

And while the article that followed claimed:

...and then release single volumes starting with volume 7

Volume seven's release was pushed back, and seems to have turned into an omnibus:

According to Seven Seas (at their booth at SDCC last night) volume 7 of Gunslinger Girl has been pushed back to November and combined with volume 8 into an 'omnibus' format release.

Unfortunately, at this point in time I am uncertain of if they plan to release single volumes. I've been thrilled that they picked the license up in the wake of ADV crumbling, though I'm not a fan of omnibus formats. I suppose we should just be happy that it's getting an N.A. release, though I wonder if I shouldn't have just read the rest of the tankoban much earlier. I do remember the Japanese releases having rather nice cover art. :)
