Some of the good people over at MAL were able to enlighten me a bit.

Major delay, but the volume is announced for December, so Tokyopop
apparently hasn't (yet) dropped the series. W00t!
That's the only good news, though.

According to [1] Kitty Media/Media Blasters put their manga titles on
hold, so this may or may not be continued at some point in the future.

DC shut down CMX, so this series is definitely dead and gone. Perhaps
there's a chance that Tokyopop may pick it up, though, since they
already have "V.B. Rose" from the same author.

Del Rey seems to have cancelled these [2]. However, perhaps Kodansha
will continue them [3]. We'll see.
> - Walkin' Butterfly (Aurora Pub), after vol. 3
No hope for this title, though, since Aurora Pub obviously didn't make
it [4].
