My guess is that this manga database entry used to have more chapters but that was changed. I would like to know exactly what happened.

Late reply

You more or less got it: during serialization, individual pages were released. When the volumes came out, they were compiled together as single chapters. Alongside some side stories (the more conventional B&W chapters), the total count is 22 chapters.

MAL probably started updating the chapter count based on the number of those short stories.

The chapter count is only entered once a series is finished. I don't think it ever reflected the TYJ chapter count.
