PLEASE NO SPOILERS!

I’ve watched Made in Abyss but have been holding off from reading the manga. I am just curious on how a series that’s ran for 10+ years only has 63 chapters. I realize the chapters are a little longer than usual but from my experience in manga, 40 page chapters (longer than a MiA chapter) come out monthly. I also do realize overworking mangaka is a terrible thing but 63 is such a low amount for a decade run time. Is there something else I’m missing?

There is no schedule for Made In Abyss , the Author is free to release a chapter whenever he wants.

Quite a few panels are really detailled , and the Author works alone on it.

I've also heard that the Author stated that this Manga was only a side-job for him , and that it was not his main focus , but i'm not really familiar with him/his series.

I see, thank you. What tends to be the average wait time per chapter then?

Around 3 Months , judging from Reddit and the Chapters Thread on MAL.
