So how long has the break been, as of this writing?
Chapter 50 was released as a paid Korean chapter on May 10, and the author posted an update on May 28 saying they had finished working on Zodiac Girls and were taking a break. There will also be a Season 1 epilogue the week after chapter 50 becomes free in Korea. So the break has been around 3–4 weeks from the Korean paid finale, or about a week from the author’s update. The MangaDex upload only came out very recently.

Hello everyone, long time no see. Hisashiburi
How have you all been?
The weather has gotten really, really, really hot
Still, I prefer summer over winter
These days, I’ve finished working on Zodiac Girls and have been taking a bit of a break
During my break, I tried playing Expedition 33, and wow, it was really, really fun
I think I played it like a complete addict for about a week
I usually don’t really like turn-based games, but this one basically makes the parry system essential, and that felt really satisfying
Anyway, my body took a bit of a hit while I was working on the series, so I’ve been working out hard as well
It’s been a little over a month, and my arms and legs have gotten a bit firmer
Exercise really is important. Please work out~!
Then I’ll come back and write another post sometime
