I actually thought the manga art was vastly superior to the novel insert art.

Ah this was because the RAW provider for the manga originally wanted to start doing this back in last early October (someone from another group wanted to start when it was in chapter 1, but ... school took so much of his time that he doesn't even scanlate anymore), but he loved the art so much that he waited for the tankoubon version, which didn't come till end of October.

He had the book sent to his other group leader in Toronto to be scanned, then then project started going underway when the original purchaser gave this RAW to DBR (coincide with end of school + holiday), and on and on so it took so long. Though they have the whole book scanned at least, just need editing and translations obviously.

Speaking of which, the 5th volume of the novel came out recently (like literally a couple days ago).
