Anigliscans (I think this was Asmodeus Scan's predecessor) already had this TL'ed up to chapter 7. Asmodeus already have this up to 8 right now but they currently have them behind a paywall.

Translated text via DeepL here:
Notice and Apology Regarding the End of Serialization for “The Black Pig Prince Remembers His Past Life and Reforms: After Reincarnating as a Villain Character, He Escaped a Fatal Ending and Became the Strongest”

We sincerely thank you for your continued patronage of Monster Comics and Futabasha's content.

We regret to announce that the serialization of “The Black Pig Prince Remembers His Past Life and Reforms: After Reincarnating as a Villainous Character, He Escaped a Fatal Ending and Became the Strongest” in Gaugau Monster has come to an end.

This work was created with the desire to deliver the wonderful original story by Shonen Yusha-sensei to many readers in manga form, working together with Howling Taro-sensei.

However, communication regarding the work between Howling Taro-sensei and the Monster Comics editorial department became difficult. We judged that continuing under these circumstances would make it impossible to deliver the work to readers steadily and reliably. Therefore, it is with deep regret that we have made the difficult decision to terminate the serialization of this project.

We sincerely apologize to our readers who have long awaited the serialization, as we are unable to meet your expectations and deliver the continuation.

We also deeply apologize to the original author, Shonen Yuusha-sensei, who entrusted us with this important work for its comic adaptation, to Tetsubuta-sensei, who handled the character designs, and to all other involved parties for the significant inconvenience and concern caused.

We take this situation very seriously. As an editorial department, we will thoroughly review our production systems and progress management to prevent such occurrences in the future. We will further strengthen our support for our authors and strive wholeheartedly to deliver sincere works to our readers.

We sincerely ask for your continued patronage of Futabasha Monster Comics titles.

In short, the mangaka couldn't keep up per the serialization contract, and seems to have dropped off the face of the earth.

I'll put in a report to have the information on MD changed.

What do you mean? I'm pretty sure that having paywalled chapters is accepted in MD as long as they're not put on MD as external links.

I'd rather wait a month for the paywalled chapter to become free rather than not getting any translations whatsoever tbh

Idk maybe they do. Never been to their site.

My point was that, scanlation groups having paywalled chapters isn't against MD rules, it's only an issue if they link paywalled chapters.

That's not the real issue, though.

The real issue is that this behavior, no matter how it's handled by MD, is always going to draw the attention of the publishers.

Didn't you ever notice that the vast majority of the stuff MD got copyright strikes for was stuff being uploaded by scans groups trying to make money? In fact, there was even a warning sign before that happened. Remember how there was that sudden wave of scans groups getting their payment system and advertiser accounts banhammered? Yeah. That was more likely than not the publishers putting a shot across the bow.

The best thing for MD to do is to disallow paywalling and panhandling all together. If they do that, then I guarantee that they'll draw less aggro from the publishers, since they'll prioritize going after the people who try to profit off of scanslation first and foremost.

Further musing on the topic of this manga's cancelation.

This manga is an adaptation of an WN/LN. And the announcement placed the blame primarily on the mangaka. They even included an apology to the original author and the character designer, too. And the wording of the letter is deeply regretful that they have failed in adapting this story.

Folks. Keep your ears to the ground. We may yet see another attempt at this story being serialized. :salute:
