I hope that "after this release" is correct.
Amazon now has the status as "This title has not yet been released.
You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives." And Right Stuf never had it listed.

As I said before I will buy it if it is published. So I hope that this is just a delay.

I thought Bandai would release nothing else after February... (or was it only for anime)

As far as I know, they will be releasing any manga they had scheduled up until the end of Q4 for their fiscal year. The last manga release from Bandai Entertainment that I've found, still solicited, is 'Tales of the Abyss: Jade's Secret Memories, volume 2' for July 10. I don't see anything else after that.

It's not as though they went bankrupt and immediately liquidated all assets/reverted all licenses (like Tokyopop), they still had stock in warehouses and were just finishing up projects that were nearly done (such as the immediate single volume releases). So yeah...technically, we should see the last two or three releases trickle out eventually, if just a little delayed.

I think that was just their anime slate...since the last anime release was Star Driver Pt. 2 BD/DVD, no?

Also, got confirmation from Amazon that my Toradora!, v4 shipped out on time. It may just be a warehouse/demand issue with TRSI.

Looks like we had a tie this past week. Blood Alone, volume 6 and Toradora!, volume 4 both had 4 votes a piece.

As an additional note, Kannagi, volume 4 has still not been released. I haven't got my copy yet (ordered from Amazon), so if anyone that bought it from elsewhere, let me know if your copy has been shipped yet (to confirm for the last few Bandai manga releases).
