I hate to break the bad news but apparently Ten Count got licensed and the scanlation groups dropped it so we won't be getting any more chapters. That being said i still wish to read this manga and since i can't read Japanese/chinese -and probably most of you too- we are stuck with summaries that can be found on tumblr like chidorinoyume who recently uploaded chapter 25's summary. Lets all pray that someday someone will somehow be able to upload the chapters for us.

    The last release has been posted (there won't be more scanlations by that group).
    Chapter 23 and 24 are now in Tumblr. Look for 277k (the end of australia).
    Remember to thank the scanlators (Ikahomine and 277k).

    I'm pretty new to this whole license thing. What does it mean when a manga gets licensed? Why can't scanlation groups scan new chapters anymore?

    OK. First you should know that mangas are released in Japan and in Japanese (manhwa=Korean, manhua= Chinese). And that there are copyright laws which protect the authors' and publishers' works while giving them rights over the use and distribution of their works (not only for manga but for many kind of products: books, movies, music, technology, etc.).
    The key word is law.
    While the scanlation groups are doing us, manga readers, a favor (making availabe manga which isn't in a language we can read), they are infringing the copyrights thus doing something illegal.
    Usually these groups are ignored by the publishers in Japan, because they might not be aware of them or haven't the methods to find them or whatever. But there are some which do, they find them and ask the groups to erase the projects or they would be sued.
    And it seems there is a law in the US (DMCA) which protects their rights and puts down many scanlation groups projects when they are found out.
    When a manga gets a license, it means a publisher from X country and with certain language bought its rights of translation, use and distribution.
    SuBlime bought Ten Count rights and it's going to release the manga in English (2016).
    When this happens the infrigement is clearer and due to conflict of interest and profit, the English publishers ask or demand the scanlation groups to cease their activities.

    So, the scanlations groups decide not to release new chapters because they might get legal problems.
