To everyone wandering about the state this manga is in.
I follow Katsura Komachi on Twitter and she's the sweetest person. Unfortunately she mentioned that she was and still is struggling a lot with depression and had a huge author's block. She also has financial issues so she does not focus just on writing her manga.
In April, she started writing a manuscript for the next chapter we are getting. I think it is safe to assume, that the chapter will get published at the end of the year (it's my prediction, don't take it as a fact). After that, the 2nd volume of this manga will get released!
I hope that releasing the next chapter gives her confidence boost. So please be patient and supportive of Komachi-sensei.

    Thank you for the update, I really hope she cheers up. Her chapters take time but the quality is here so it's worth it. Hope fans are letting her know that (because of the internet [and capitalism senpai] we've really become impatient).

    Yes, in fact I do. On the new year's day this year Komachi sensei posted an art of the two main characters with a text that google-translated as "my goal for 2025 is to return to drawing La vie en Rose. Please wait for Nagato and Ai."
    This however does not 100% mean the manga will return in 2025. When we heard of Katsura working on Juliet wo Ute again it took about 10months before we got a new chapter.
    But she hasn't forgotten about it!

    I think it's the general state of the manga industry in Japan. I buy the raws of this manga and when I bought a chapter with a sale coupon it was only $0.60, while full price was $1.50. Which isn't much at all considering that a portion of profits goes to the publishing magazine and the editor.

    This makes me so happy~ Of course! It all depends on your options/preferences.
    All the official providers (some of which I am mentioning) are linked here on the distributor magazine site: https://honeymilk.jp/c/juliet.html

    Pick Amazon if you have kindle (the file you get cannot be opened otherwise).
    Honto.jp if you want downloadable pictures or reading in a browser/app. This site is hard to navigate in Japanese but it is the only one of the official sites that allows international card payment!!!! (other sites require Japanese credit card).
    If you are paying with Apple pay or PayPal then the best is Cmoa.jp because it's the easiest to navigate even in Japanese, the website is pretty intuitive, and it provides the same as Honto.

    For cmoa you can find easy guide how to create account on Tumblr, for Honto you need a translating tool and patience. I first used cmoa before finding out I have no payment options, now I am using Honto because of the credit card option. About the Kindle thing on Amazon, I don't know much, I don't use kindle.
    Hope this helped <3
