Ooh, nice progress this chapter and hopefully more the next one. Shamiko is so close, will she realize her feelings?
I don't mind the hiatus, it's best for the author not to push herself too much.
The official translation is great news... And it's Seven Seas, some people complain but generally I like their translations (and don't take forever to publish like some others)

The magical girl names are also fruits that represent seasons: Sakura(cherry) = Spring, Momo(peach) = Summer, now Budo(grape) = Fall, Mikan(orange) = Winter.
Incidentally Honyu(apple) would also represent Fall, I wonder if she had 3 friends with chinese seasonal fruits...
