Yeah me as well ... And they took too long to update new chapter...
I've been thinking, and it seems that the mangaka used to release one big chapter a year, and now it seems that she releases several smaller chapters over the course of a year instead. I think it's the same with her other works right now. Maybe it's just so that she can stay in the spotlight and not get forgotten after a yearly release?
Well, maybe not one big chapter per year, definitely more, but I think she started this manga in the early 2000s so it's been updating slowly for a while.
I had to re-read everything but now it all makes sense so I'm glad I did. Ugh I forgot how much I like this manga. If only he chapters were longer ┗( T﹏T )┛
