I’m sad to say it but I’ll be dropping this series. I reached out to the mangaka directly
Not to be rude, but what exactly you hoped to achieve by that?

unfortunate indeed, It's a really cute and enjoyable manga so hopefully either and official trqanslation or anime happen eventually then.
Or different group picks it up.
Have to wonder how much stuff here would have to stop their translations if everyone asked the authors in all cases
Outside of few outliers, all of it honestly. Scanlating is illegal after all.
I had a moment of moral clarity :) I didn’t think the mangaka would give me permission, rather reaching out was a form of closure for me in accepting that this (glorious work) is indeed not in the artist’s interest and therefore not in my interest.
A different group is free to pick this up if they want, but I would of course encourage them not to.
I wish the manga market wasn’t such a disjointed hellscape of unaggregated content, abnormally high prices outside of Japan, and plagued with stringent laws to stop good people like scanlators from localizing content free of charge. Fuck Copyright law.
