Media Blasters Cancels Some Upcoming Manga

Media Blasters sent over a notice today with some date changes and cancellations. Fortunately, none of the date changes effected any of their Anime titles, but they did cancel the release of the following manga:

Akihabara Vol. 6 Graphic Novel AWNOV-0949 (9781598835342)
Gay's Anatomy Episode 0: Graphic Novel KGNOV-0914 (9781598834604)
Drawn to Him: Graphic Novel KGNOV-0917 (9781598835083)

They didn't actually say 'canceled', but cited these as 'removed from our schedule indefinitely' and canceled all retailer pre-orders for them. We've removed them from the store site until further notice. What this portends for the future of Media Blasters manga business, if anything, I could not say.
