But letting it end that way could maybe then be a "backdoor" to restart the series eventually. Maybe the author has other projects on their plate right now or something, dunno
This outlook is way too optimistic though. The great majority of mangaka don't have the luxury to draw whatever they want, whenever they want when it comes to official publishing. It's not like an author can just waltz into the editor office and request a serialization. Forget about restarting a finished series; it's not even in the artist's hands whether their current manga can go on or not.
The reality is that when a manga is officially over, in 99% of cases it's gone for good (unless it's one of those blockbusters that spawn cash cow franchises). It's a business. You bet that when publishers are willing to let a series go for whatever reason, they won't be inclined to pick up the same thing again. It's especially true for niche series by low profile mangaka. Nothing stops a mangaka from publish new content of their finished series on twitter, pixiv, (which is what Tokuwotsumu has done for this series) or at doujin conventions, but another serialization won't happen in all likelihoods.
Btw, Tokuwotsumu has just started a new series a couple of weeks ago. Title is 'In this room where cherry blossoms bloom' or something like that. I would certainly check it out if it is translated.
