There's no chapters I'm seeing after it.
BTW...what does happen if you try scanlating a manga licensed by Bandai? (They must be "afraid" to scanlate L*S without a reason. Bandai would sue them? XD)

Duh?
Most scanlators drop projects when they hear a title has been licensed because their purpose was to raise awareness and that has been accomplished.
Yes, a legal C&D or a DMCA take-down would be the likely action. I've started several translation projects only to see the work get licensed. After that, the only incentive I have to continue on my own - is to compare my understanding of piece of dialog with the publisher's translation.
And lately we have the other end of the problem: publisher's who won't FINISH a manga series but won't release the license. Both ARIA and Tsukuyomi Moon Phase are among these. Tokyopop holds both and is just sitting on them. I'm considering doing the last 4 TMP volumes out of irritation. So much remains out of the ARIA series, I don't know I have enough time to take that project on.
