They kiss? What chapter/volume IS it in?
Well, let's see, if they go through the standard "3 chapters each month" and there are 230 chapters in total…actually, 231, due to "chapter 196.5" then that means it'll take...77 months, or almost 6 and a half years to bring them all out.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I HATE it when SJ publishes the comics in their monthly magazine. All it means is that it takes longer. Now if it was straight to volume, we'd probably be getting a volume every other month, which means 6 volumes per year, and with 21 volumes, it would be 3 and a half years to bring them all out. (Note that none of this counts Shinsetsu)
Darn SJ with their monthly magazine...at least make it be 4 chapters each month, darn it! Then it's only 4 years, 10 months.
Oh well, I guess waiting 6.5 years is better than never getting any chapters. But I still prefer direct-to-volume releases.
EDIT: The latest chapter was interesting, but DARN I wish I could read the thing. At least I'm taking Japanese next Fall at the University, but I have the feeling one semester isn't going to make me be able to read it. Oh well, maybe in two years I'll be able to...maybe...
