@ Taissi: Yup, quite some time back. Like I said the rumors started sometime in May/June, apparently the creator of Death Note was suing her but that was a lie.
@ Lady DeepBlue: I think it was more because during the anime's last season, Hoshino was on hiatus with the manga and to avoid over throwing the manga, they stopped it there.
DGM is pretty popular actually, both the series and the manga.

"The D.Gray-man manga has been highly popular in Japan; as of 2007, the series ranked as the ninth best seller series of the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine. On December 31, 2008, Comipress reported that the first fifteen volumes from the series had sold 14,000,000 copies. During its second release week, volume fifteen of the manga ranked as the second best seller comic in Japan.
The anime DVDs have also been popular; they have ranked high in several Japanese Animation DVD Rankings. Zassosha's manga magazine Puff ranked the series as the seventh best long story manga of 2006. The series has also picked up attention in France as it was awarded the prize for best manga series 2006 at the Anime and Manga 2007 French Grand Prix, which was organized by Animeland. It was also awarded the prize of manga of the year 2006 by Webotaku. Even the novel adaptions were well-received. The second novel adaption was the third bestselling novel in Japan in 2006."
Since it's still isn't the end of 09 nor the middle of 2010 we can't say for sure how well it was received this year. But looking at that makes it obvious it's pretty well received :3
