I'm posting my comment that got buried on the comments page for chapter 17.2 with regards to the drop in quality of the art:
For those of you worried about the quality of the art in this issue, the mangaka already apologised and explained her circumstances on twitter https://twitter.com/3Fe2O2Fe3O4/status/1264588117786255361?s=20.
Basically, due to Covid19 delaying the publication of her chapters, she wasn't paid on time. She had to let her assistant go because she couldn't afford to make rent as well. She said that it'll be corrected for the volume publication, but she was really ashamed of herself (its not her fault).
This is the problem with the manga publishing industry, artists aren't salaried, so when stuff like this happens they're put in really bad situations.
Furthermore,
@Ingra adds that:
n case you don't know, the money for the MANGAKA ( food, rent, gas etc.) comes MANLY from ROYATIES selling the FINAL VOLUMES.
The INCOME that comes from the sold MANUSCRIPT, are so little, it barely pays for the assistant SALARIES.
In other words, she had no money to spare for assistents!!
Nobody is buying that many volumes in Japan amid a Pandemic, (but didn't she had savings?)
she just moved her place, that takes time and money, so no, the savings were emergency type savings.
Before complaining in a site were we read scans, why don't you buy a copy of her LEGAL work and THEN complain, because until them, you have NO RIGHTS TO NOTHING.
(excluded fan arts, everyone love good fan art)
And
@Suckerforshipping I'm not sure why the mangadex page says that there will be five total volumes. I think its more in reference to there being five confirmed volumes right now. There's been no announcement that this series is up for cancellation. It remains one of the best selling series its in demographic, and it has posters and advertising everywhere across Japan. This isn't like the author's previous series which was always intended to be a short series, this one is definitely meant to last for a significant period of time.
