Thank you for the translation. Also I don't think counts as a snipe as I don't know if the lack of scanlated chapters is from a lack of chapters or a lack of a scanlator.
It's health related. The mangaka had been struggling and put the series on biweekly hoping that the reduced workload would let them recover but sadly that didn't work. They put the series on hiatus to focus on recovery. I don't know how they're doing but hopefully the recovery is going well.
Nozomu is also wearing a gakuran even though we haven't seen him start school yet. I'm guessing this is so the character has a conclusion to the story rather than seeing her slowly over time. I haven't see what's coming but I'm guessing we'll be going back to shortly after chapter 23.
Thank you for the translation. I like this manga a lot it would be a shame for it to be canceled so soon. I know the shounen romcom market is pretty overloaded but it's always sad to see such a cute manga just up and vanish.
