For this volume cover, I asked my sister to clean and redraw the cover for me. She did a great job. You can't even tell it's redrawn
So there's only 2 chapters left for the jp release to finish the manga. For the raw loose chapter release, the last chapter should be published... maybe around March or April at the latest and volume 3 should be out... 3-4 months after that. So I'm predicting either a June or July release. We'll be done with this manga within the year, god willing.
