What happened to the Re:Zero manga?


I was hoping that I could read the continuation of the series through the
manga, but I can't find any chapter beyond 23, it has been like that for a
long time. Is the manga on hiatus or something?

Also, yes I know about <https://translationchicken.com/> but I heard that the
web novel was kinda trash compared to the light novel, so I refrained from
reading the translations.

22, 2017 with Chapter 2 being fully done by the end of the year while _Chapter

as you can see from the link and screenshot the japanese release of Volume 5
of Chapter 3 was in March 2017 but previous volumes have been between a few
months apart. however it is based off the Light Novel which is still ongoing
with the last release being Volume 13 released in June 2017 (and also licensed
by Yen Press and have planned up to Volume 5 currently (27/07/2017))

So no, there doesn't seem to be a hiatus but rather Yen Press taking their
time, probably a good thing because you wouldn't want this stuff rushed
