Does anyone at all have any recent news for this series?

Though I can't say for sure, I'm guessing that it's on hiatus or dropped. Sakurai has released a new tank for Sabaku no Oujisama in the meantime and happens to be working on a new series named Sengoku Paradise at the moment. Before those, I'm not sure what she released.

It'd be really unfortunate to learn that she has no plans to pick up this story where she left it. >.<
