I just read Vol. 10 and it goes up to chapter 195 of the regular chapters, and 48 of the bonus chapters. How are these listed on MAL though? Are they separate or combined? When I checked the discussion for chapter 195, it seemed to be discussing a completely different chapter.

MAL includes extra chapters in the count.
The easiest way is just to count everything listed in the table of contents as a chapter.

Most people on MAL pirate Mangas.
So there is very high chances that they are talking about the Webcomics version , while thinking that it's the professional Manga...
It's not a rare case at all.

what's the difference between the "true manga" and webcomics? and if they're combined, how does the English volume release have a higher chapter count than the discussions here?

The Webcomics is an amateur work , done by the Author alone.

It luckily attracted the attention of a publishing company , and offered to officially print it into a Manga.
It results in the Author becoming an official professional Mangaka , and receiving help of an editor to guide him , often enhancing the story.

I did not read this one , so i'm not sure what the changes are , but it's rare to not have any.
Edit : From what i could find , the Manga added scenes that were not in the Webcomics. (Someone talks about Igarashi and Natsumi's first meeting , for example.)

The discussions are created by users , it's not automatically done when a chapter gets released.
And not many people read the extra chapters. And since they are not numbered , there is almost no one that create them a discussion , no matter the Manga.

Ah I see, I wasn't sure because the chapters are so short, and I was beginning to think they were split up for the volume release.

Anyway , just count the chapters in a manner which is simple for you.
Once the Manga finish , MAL will update the count and you will be able to see the correct one.
A note will also be added about the extra chapters included in the count.
