With such a small quantity, why does it take a quarter for a new volume to arrive?
That I don't know but here's a few guesses:
Might be a balance between paying the staff and the artists/authors (and indirectly, the assistants they may hire to speed up drawing), and getting enough sales to cover that (starting safe from the lack of existing customer base or a very popular work/author they could successfully use to for advertising, and considering changing to a quicker schedule only when the profits permit for it).
Might be that the staff for it is shared with the publisher's more important magazines/activities and they're testing the waters with a low-initial-investment side project.
Might be because KTC is not a big-name publisher.
Might be in hope of attracting more experienced authors who are already busy with ongoing series or have developed health problems from overworking themselves and wouldn't be able to create another thing at a quicker pace (they wouldn't have to worry about negotiating deadlines when the default is already slow enough).
