From the update dates, I take it that this is a monthly serialization?

Yep ;) a new chapter is out during the first week of each months

Thanks Yukihime for answering my question. :( well that's a bummer having to wait a whole month for an update. Maybe I should have put off reading the manga until is completed. Hahaha

i wouldn't stop reading this til its completed. you don't know how many chapters are there. it may take a month but at least its garunteed that it it comes monthly then never knowing and coming back everyday waiting for an update.
