According to the site, there are five more chapters following Chapter 60, but everywhere else seems to say that 60 is the end. I'm confused.

MAL is pretty good about getting numbers wrong and then taking forever to correct them. 60 seems to be the end, don't worry.

Thank you. That's a good thing to keep in mind.

I think they are counting the X.5 chapters most of the time actually lol, it isn't wrong, just all inclusive.

That said, only see 3 X.5 chapters for this so maybe the rest aren't translated or something?

Hi there, several years down the road, but I ended up stopping by.

Wrong was the incorrect way to word it. MAL lists X.5 chapters as full chapters because that's what common reading site (like MangaReader) does. Before they did that, every other entry in the database would be bombarded with 'missing data' requests. But they never get 'too much data' requests, so including them in the count solves the problem. This is also why reader sites will sometimes add [END] to the final chapter, so it's clear the extra chapters are due to X.5 chapters that may or may not being included with that particular scan/translation.

There are 60 main chapters, all translated in one place or another, and five X.5 chapters, making a total of 65 listed on MAL. As to why all five X.5 chapters aren't listed in every recopy across all the readers I bothered to check, your guess is as good as mine.
