Most of the mangas get more readers when anime adaption comes out. But in my opinion this anime failed like not many did before. I like this manga, I hope it keeps on at least till Matra makes an ending.
Can't help with other questions though. My Japanese is pretty poor, even though it gets better by the days. For what I heard, novel has different story or something like that so I doubt it could be much help. I sure wish someone would translate it or write a message about it for me though.
Need to wait for translations and than support original magazine in someway.
