Actually, Kirie had announced recently that they're dropping a lot of their series to focus on the rest of their projects. This series being one of the ones they want to continue.That's the problem, that's why people have been reacting so strongly. There are certain groups, of which this is one of them, that never, ever drop a translation. They simply go quiet for 3 months, 6 months, a year, two years, however long it may be until either they feel like doing a chapter (completely random) or somebody new comes along to start translating the series in which case they'll suddenly drop 3 to 5 new chapters less than a day later and then go completely quiet again.
This pattern repeats itself over, and over, and over again to the point that a lot of people are completely sick of it and are desperate for somebody to break the cycle at last.
In the announcement, they also updated on the progress of each series and said that the series they're dropping will release everything they have once it's ready.
