   Amazon has now officially cancelled my (long overdue) pre-order of   
   volume 5, and Tokyopop don't even list the book on their website. Anyone   
   got any news about the book? Rumors? Anything? The most recent news I   
   was able to dig up are from end of January.   
      
   What makes it so damn hard to release a book that everyone and their mom   
   apparently are desparately waiting for?   
      
   Is Tokyopop trying to become the next ADV or something?
