  Friend just introduced me to this manga and loving it like mad so far. Surprised there wasn't a thread on this so just made one now heh. They were on a bit of a hiatus and recently have been updating daily. The raws are 10-20 ish chapters ahead of the translated, but at the pace they're going, it should be caught up to date very soon.
