Really, if she wasn't honestly OK with this she could've just said something noncommittal like "Their style is very different from my own so I look forward to see the results" or "It will be different from my work but I hope everyone will enjoy it" or something along those lines. Or she could've declined to comment at all. There was no reason for her to go out of her way to endorse Shaft and Shinbou like that. I don't think it's very reasonable to speculate that she's lying through her teeth and in reality she's crying herself to sleep every night over the expected butchery of her manga.
(And anyway, authors, even authors who create great works, can have horrible taste and/or misguided expectations.)

Seriously? Can't think of anyone else that would profit from it? This is on their official website by the way.
So you're telling me that she genuinely worships Shaft, that this is a dream come true and she would've refused
any other studio? I think that requires far more explanation than a manufactured PR statement.
