Thought I agree with some things you say, I mostly disagree about what you said about de author.
The complain about de length of the chapters is totally justifiable for those who spent money on de chapters. (Here, well, we complain but, actually we are stealing her work) But for Rihito sensei this is job, she gets paid for it. The true fans are the ones who suport her, buy the manga, and, well, be sincere when the quality of your job is not the same that it was, and I think publishing 4 pages per month is an issue. She makes beautiful mangas and very insteresting stories, but as is her job, and lets imagine we pay for it, fans should say what they think. And obviously it take a lot of effort to make a manga, but Im sure she doesnt do it alone. And yes, she has a private life, but this is her job and she has to do it, private life and job should be separated.
I think we all know that Rihito sensei must be putting a lot of effort on making 2 series at the same time, and probably she has even more work because Ten Count is going to have an anime (¡¡¡¡¡autumn this year!!!! yaiii)
But this is not hate towards the author, I think we should take it as a constructive critic(thought sometimes we go crazy about it)
I get what you are trying to say. I really do. But no, we should not be grateful. Here's why. This is not the first time this person has hijacked a project. It is not a service to readers to upload shitty translations for chapters that are being scanlated already in high quality. No, it is not right to complain when someone makes it possible for us to read something in English. But Hikari is not the one making this possible. Ika has worked on this since the very beginning, and Mysophobic Anon joined shortly after. This project was brought to us by them. And they have already completed the chapters Hikari and that other person just posted. So without them, Mangago would have the high quality chapters instead of the shitty ones. It's not unreasonable to complain.
In addition, and here is actually the most important part, when Hikari hijacked a project last month, she got jealous about the support for the group she hijacked, and tried to bring them down. She tried to destroy them completely. She wanted them gone. How is that a service to anyone? That group, Bang Aqua, does absolutely beautiful, high quality work. She tried to put an end to that, so she could get accolades for her inaccurate translations in their place. That's fucked up.
People like me have every reason to feel protective of Ika and MA right now. We also have nothing to be thankful for from the hijackers. They do not care about anyone but themselves. That includes the readers. They did not spend enough time on their work to put it up in place of someone who did. That's the main point here. They put up their work in place of someone else's.
But I agree that when someone picks up something that is dropped, as in truly dropped, or brings you a new series that was not available before, then you say thank you and do not complain.
I didn't know that happened :O Thank you for telling me!
That kinda throws everything in a new light....! (<- For me that is...)
I thought that was a one time thing, but if what you say is true then THAT'S f...up!
Tbh I am not a real fan when translator groups change. I like it when only one translation group (like Ika and MA) take on one project and another group another project.
I was pretty sceptical at the new scalations, but I thought that Hikari does this bc she is new and wants to inform us readers, but it seems that I was in the wrong Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)

For reference, this thread addresses what Hikari did.(At least part of it)
After I read through this comments I must say I am shocked!
First of all I want to talk about the whole short chapter story and Rihito-sensei's well-being.
People pointed out that she said she was busy but other people say that she has health problems. No matter which one is right, but we all know that she won't be able to release chapters THAT quick NO MATTER THE REASON!! I don't understand why y'all are mad bc of the short chapters? Do you even know how much work it takes to draw a manga?? If you are that impatient then draw one yourself, but stop pushing her like in that twitter post! I also want to remind you that Rihito-sensei has a private life??
The second thing I want to remark is the whole talk about the new translation group...
I understand that ppl are getting mad, bc of the new translator, but just leave it be alright?
Maybe Hikari wants to be noticed bc she/he is new in the translator business and wants to smh make ppl notice her/his group.
Her/His translations seem bad to most of the readers, but if you aren't better at it then pls stfu??
I personally know how much effort it takes to translate and edit a manga and I highly recommend those who talk ill of translator groups to try it out themselves! A user named duts pointed smt out which is 100% right. If I may quote: "Instead of whining, why can't you be grateful? You aren't paying for it anyway so why the attitude? Dafuq"
I am 100% sharing that opinion!
So guys...if you aren't happy about the slow pace of the manga....just go and leave the real fans wait in peace.
Ik I may have triggered a LOT of ppl with that real fans statement and let me explain what I mean:
Real fans: Ppl who WAIT paitently for a new chapter NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES and ppl who don't DWELL on the length of the chapter. Ppl who know the effort Rihito-sensei's putting into this manga.
That's my opinion on the whole thing... (︶︿︶)
