ANN (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-07-04/bandai-entertainment-adds-hayate-anime-tokikake-manga) reports that Bandai has "Ranmaru Kotone's manga adaptation of The Girl Who Leapt through Time (TokiKake) film":

Kotone's The Girl Who Leapt through Time manga adapts Mamoru Hosoda's award-winning film of a girl who discovers she can time-leap — time-travel, and uses her ability during her everyday life. Kotone's manga is different from Gaku Tsugano's manga that was licensed by CMX; Kotone's manga adapts the recent anime film, whereas Tsugano's manga adapts Yasutaka Tsutsui's original novel.

Giapet (http://giapet.net/2008/07/03/ax08-aniplex-panel-wgurren-lagann-cast/) reports the following from the Aniplex panel:

We’re in Q&A mode, and I asked about the Gurren Lagann manga, which Bandai Entertainment is trying to get…as well as several other companies, so we’ll see. People have also asked about merch in the full version of the show, which is still undecided.
I guess there's a bidding war for the Gurren Lagann manga.
