Unfortunately, in order for that to happen, this series would have to stop serialization. In other words, it won't be published in a magazine. And because it has already been serialized, the publishing company owns some rights to the series. So any hope of the author controlling everything is null. There are some authors who are honored to have their manga licensed and released over seas, but there is only so much they can do to help that, same with anime adaptations.
This really isn't the best place to talk about this though. Let's head over to the
Raw Providers and Reading Sites Issues thread to talk more. You'll find more info about this topic there as well.
