| Although only the 1st volume got officially translated to English, all 3 volumes got an OFFICIAL French release! I own the French omnibus 2022 edition from IMHO. There are also English fan translations up through vol 3 chapter 7 as of today (November 2024). There are one or two page interludes in between chapters and some get listed in the index as seperate "stories", such that it's a little messy knowing how many chapters there really are. Here is the chapter count as per the edition I own: Volume 1- 11 full chapters (17 stories listed in the index) Volume 2 - 13 full chapters (14 stories listed in the index) Volume 3 - 10 full chapters (14 stories listed in the index) That means 45 stories if you go by the index, but 34 ACTUAL chapters if you count the way normal people do. Which makes a lot more sense for something that is only 3 volumes! I don't know how MAL's 57 chapter count came to be. Anilist matches my count of 34 chapters, and sites that Totally Legally allow you to read it (including in the original Japanese) have chapter counts that match mine or are close (e.g. some only have 11 chapters for vol 2 instead of 13) |

| @iridi maybe it was confused with "Nekojiru y Udon" and they added it as chapters, but thats kinda weird cause that would be 3 volumes more and i guess more than 23 chapters. |
