The first volume was out in English in 2021, although the scanlation stopped around the time K Manga started simulpubbing so that’s probably why (and the English volumes were already ahead of the scanlation before they started simulpubbing it)

This is weird.
I have it on pretty good authority that Kodansha really seriously despises the very idea of allowing any of their titles to be translated out of Japanese, citing manga as a specifically Japanese art form (which it is), that can only be appreciated when read in the context of the Japanese language (which is also not really wrong).
And, while I dont want to out a person, I believe the source who told me this. Like, if they disagreed with the weather forecast, I'd bring an umbrella; I trust them.
So, while I could be wrong, seeing a "Kodansha Official" on a website like this one specifically... is pretty weird.
Hell, maybe I am wrong...?
