^As my posts have been suggesting, readers are used to many a worst-case “You know that series you’ve been enjoying?—No more ever!” outcome with translated manga, so while all or most readers almost certainly do want the main story to continue, at least the short pieces show that the creator is still active and still interested in the material, as a sudden and complete blackout would not.
It’s a very odd development, as if Citrus suddenly went plotless 4-koma starting next chapter with no explanation, but I’m glad that what we’re getting while we wait is generally amusing and often quite adorable.
Well the difference there is that Citrus would be infinitely improved by such a move.
I'd rather we get nothing than have my hopes dashed over and over by an empty Their Story chapter release.
