Minor nitpick, pretty sure the app is "GANMA!" rather than Ganmi. That said, this is good news. :)

I've always forgotten what bi-weekly means. Is it once per two weeks? Is it twice per week? Is early on-set dementia kicking in?
It can genuinely mean either thing, but it definitely means once every two weeks here.
I hope the serialised version stays true to this, I've seen tol many series lose their charm once they get serialised.

This is probably the best "serialization announcement" chapter I've read.

Others have already answered, but I wanted to point out that twice a week would be "semi-weekly." However, as a pedant, I also need to point out that the "bi-" prefix in this context has been misused enough that modern dictionaries (example) give both definitions. This makes the prescriptivist in me a bit sad.

Yep, important to remember, that if biweekly or bimonthly is used in the periodical literature context, like with magazines and manga, etc, they only go as every 2 weeks or every 2 months, because semi-weekly and semi-monthly exist for twice per week and twice per month respectively

Though since in Japanese they use 隔週 and 隔月, they go as every other week and every other month too, sometimes every other week used along a day like for example 隔週土曜 for every other saturday
