Why only this small amount of chapters are translated?

I saw on ANN that 30th volume came out last month and yet only 208 chapters (which is from volume 22 or 23) is translated online. Why is this way? Why it's not like other mangas which are translated along with japanese original coming out?

There is no official translation it is all fan made for free so we can't really complain. They usually do about one per week and they do other manga as well. If the anime dose well there will probably go faster.

Yeah I also just hit 208 after starting on Sunday, only other mangas I've gone through this quick are Silver Spoon and YowaPedal. But I agree, can't complain since its free.

It's funny how you think 208 chapters is a small amount. But to actually answer your question, the translation wasn't picked up by anyone until much after the manga started. The translation group has actually been slowly getting caught up with the manga, but what's the rush? Is long as it comes out consistently how can we complain. It's a very nice thing translation groups do for us.

Why is it that someone always has to come out and bitch when they get into a Manga that isn't fully translated.

Chapters are still translated at the same rate they are released, we're just a bit behind. I remember seeing three or four topics just like this for Karate Shoukoushi last summer, they're tedious.

Anyhow, how is complaining or saying "I want more" going to get you anywhere?

I don't think saying stuff like "i want more" is bad, I mean, I even want more, but I fully understand how hard and time consuming it takes to translate manga so I'm happy to let them do their thing and I'll sit on my hands and wait. But really it's just an expression of how much people are enjoying the manga. At least that's how I see it. Of course there are people who cross the line with what they say about that, but it's rare and most are just ignorant about how translating manga actually work. That doesn't make them bad and that doesn't mean we need to ridicule them about it. Learning is the way of the word, we just all happen to be in different spots on the curve is all.
