No it was PURGED. As in raws are all that’s left because the sites hosting it either got fully taken down or just deleted (like Mangadex). As far as I know this group is the only one that is scanlating.In other words we can search around and read another 49 chapters immediately.
Edit: to the confused reply, there were three major types of collapse when a huge wave of purging (being sued or hit with legal threats concerning licensed manga) happened, and still is happening but not at insanely high rates today.
1. A dedicated scanlation team site which was doing the scanlations but for whatever reason go an intense brunt of the blow and basically had to fully shut down or risk legal and financial elimination. This is a primary source and if it is wiped it is not coming back.
2. A "collation” site, like cubari, which is essentially a gathered and formatted set of references and links to other sites hosting the actual images. Because they are references and links, the images would all disappear but the site is allowed to stay up so long as the links are confirmed dead.
3. A “dedicated copy” site, like mangadex, that has trusted functionality that dedicated teams will use for uploading, yet is also very strict about responding to takedown requests and not allowing licensed material as a soft ground rule.
4. A "xerox of a xerox” site, where someone just rips scans from whatever groups they can find and then puts up a shitton of ads and redirects to bank on money coming from click volume, not quality. These sites are the easiest to nuke for this reason and if they are bearing rips from primary sources that already received the cease and desists that’s a double whammy.
In the case of this manga there was only one dedicated scanlation team site that I was aware of carrying it and since they went down, it essentially meant that they couldn’t be collated as the links would be dead, mangadex would most likely have gotten a request and complied to take it down, and the xerox sites would have even less of a chance of knowing about it let alone being able to actually have the chapters.
