"The official Twitter account for the works of manga/anime creator Mamoru Nagano announced on Saturday that he will resume his Five Star Stories manga in the May 2013 issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Newtype magazine on April 10. The story will pick up in the Majestic Stand arc. In addition, production on "some kind of new model that is neither a plastic model nor a garage kit" is in the works.
Nagano launched his science fantasy manga series in Newtype in 1986, although the series has been running intermittently since then. The last regularly compiled book volume, the 12th one, shipped in 2006. To mark the 25th anniversary of the manga last year, Kadokawa reissued the manga series in a "Repeat" edition with previously unpublished art.
Nagano's own Toyspress, Inc. published most of the manga in English. ADV Films released the 1989 anime film adaptation in North America.
Since at least 2006, Nagano had been working on Hana no Utame Gothicmade, the film that he wrote, designed, storyboarded, and directed himself. The film opened in Japan on November 1." -Source: ANN

1st Five Star Stories Manga Volume in 9 Years Ships in June
Kadokawa will publish Mamoru Nagano's 13th Five Star Stories manga volume — the first new one in about nine years — on June 10. The volume had been delayed from last fall.
Nagano launched his science fantasy manga series in Newtype in 1986, although the series has been running intermittently since then. The last regularly compiled book volume, the 12th one, shipped in 2006. To mark the 25th anniversary of the manga in 2011, Kadokawa reissued the existing manga volumes in a "Repeat" edition with previously unpublished art.
The manga went on hiatus in 2006 and relaunched in the magazine's May 2013 issue. It went back on hiatus in Spring 2014 as Nagano prepared the 13th volume for print.
