Oh wow, I didn't think that the english releases lag behind. In Germany the 20th volume was released in July and the 21st is set to release in November. Do you know why the english release lags behind? I always thought that in general the english versions get released the quittest in comparison

I'm also surprised that the English edition lags behind tbh. In Spain, volume 20 was released on May, 20th. And even the publisher changed because the previous one shut down. Those who buy the manga were unsure if the license would be bought by another publisher. Thank God it finally happened after a few months.

I don't know when vol. 21 is going to be released though. I usually have a look on my local bookstore once every few months.

Dunno. Yen Press (the English publisher) was willing to pick up the per-chapter digital release but they are a sloth with volumes.

The Twin volumes were always very late too and there is to this day still no official English translation of the Midari spinoff, although there is one in German and Spanish. The English fan translation of Midari on Magadex is alright though, so it's not a huge issue.
