The last couple ms.anserman columns have given wrong information.
1) Some one asked what was going to replace FMP in newtype and they replied they had been no announcement. Yes there has I don't remember what con but the new manga that's going to be newtype is angel/dust.
2) In the new column "Hollie Perkins" asked if there is a release date for pita-ten answerman answered "There's no release date yet for pita-ten. They just announced the series. Don't expect a release date for anything until at least 3-6 months after the license is announced" But tokyopop has a page up for it and it says pita-ten will come out on 01-13-04
The Pita-ten thing came out after we'd written that column.
As for the first one, I called Newtype and they said they didn't know. Maybe the guy I talked to didn't know, but I'd heard Angel/Dust and called to clarify. They said they didn't know.
