The illustrator is a freelance artist iirc. He does the art for Oda Nobuna-chan, DxD, has done at least one VN, does a ton of other side stuff like merchandise and makes original art as a hobby.
This is probably a case of him taking on much more work than he could handle.
Also, the volume preview somehow gets on my nerves because I know they're teasing, but I bet that right in the middle of the act the new group will invade ;__;
And what's the deal with Akeno jumping the gun, wasn't she going to wait for Rias to go first before jumping Issei?
Did Rias get her turn in a side story? That would be just peachy, them going all the way in a side story which may, or may not be scanned and translated in the distant future.
