For those who've been curious. The author is very very active on Twitter and from what I see, they ended up taking a long break after chapter 20, moved houses, and somewhat returned ready to draw again Dec 2024. BUT it looks like they also participated in an event that took place in March that kept them busy awhile. Then it looks like they drew a very small parody manga. The author said... and this is translated from Japanese so not exact words: "the new publication is a nonsensical parody consisting of 8 pages.... sorry....but at least its something new...." basically referring that they're apologizing that it's not a new volume. Then it looks like they had some more events involving this manga in Japan in the early summer months and has been relatively quiet since June, having only posted once in July. So I imagine they could be working on it right now, who knows.
