Look on the positive side. Switching to digital only will eliminate the printing cost and in turn lower the cancellation threshold for the series. Lots of series got to finish naturally even though their print versions were killed. Granted, this means the publisher has no plans to promote the series, but I doubt Arisaku was getting merchs in the first place. Suck for people who were collecting the physical books though, but it's miles better than a cancellation. Hopefully the author doesn't get too discouraged.
For the record I have been buying the volumes digitally, but I also wanna say that this work is a modern masterpiece. It's really hard for me to understand how a series like this isn't getting the accolades it's so deserving of.
It's just not on the radar for most. This site is full of yuri enthusiasts, but I never see it in the "most popular in the last 7 days" section. It's also very hard to recommend to people without spoiling it.
I still don't understand, why it seems so impossible for the publishers to understand, that they should at least give us an parallel english version we could purchase. Instead they lean back and complain, that they couldn't sell enough. Hello? There is a whole world of manga fans willing to purchase your product.
They don't complain. They just cancel the underperforming work and replace it with something else, since artists eager to get serialized are not in short supply. No skin off the publisher's back. Niche series like this are just rounding errors to Kadokawa anyway.
