I recall making a thread about this a year back. Anyway, with new chapters getting released more or less consistently again, it seems that there's no sign of it hitting another hiatus. At least until the current arc ends anyway.
Man, it's surprising. After the arc with Roberta, things pretty much fizzled out... and there was that not-canon manga the artist made depicting the characters as actors... and now we get a chapter of Revy getting ready to do some S&M on a strip club. How time flies. Like, how many years did the series go on hiatus?
Checking wikipedia out, a chapter was released in 2013 and one more in 2014. After that, it was around 2017 before the manga releases became more consistent. Only a few years, but it honestly felt longer than that.

Also, kinda funny in hindsight, or some foreshadowing by the artist. On that non-canon manga made by the artist, one of the pages shows actress Revy in S&M gear, with the commentary in the page notes that it's part of the new season's filming/the current manga arc.
And lo and behold, it does happen. That's some funny foreshadowing that took some years to show up.

It’s back on ? I swear I fell off this shit long ago when they went on hiatus Back to monthly releases since last year, continuing the arc that was happening before the hiatus went down, and now it seems the arc is ending. Would be interesting to see if the series goes past that, or if another hiatus happens. |

I might have to re read it then because I don't remember anything they did after the Roberta arc and the whole thing might have peaked with that insanity
A shame tho because it's a good series but don't really have a rhythm after so much time between chapters

Yeah, the recent arc is a lot more light-hearted. ...well, probably not the right word to use. Still violence and people getting shot and people getting violent and people getting violently shot. But definitely far less dark than the Roberta arc. Like, the shift in tone is like the second season from way back. The episodes with the twins, followed by the episodes with Jane. |

Which is fine all things considered but after how heavy that arc is
There is still money into a "dark Rock" and more light hearted Revy trying to pull him away from that but they need time to make it happen

Could work. Still, as long as the current arc is, it feels like a set of breather episodes. Perhaps in the next if things go too dark again. Like, right now its Revy about to do some S&M with a stripper. That's... NSFW, but not really dark at all. |

There's only one thing to say that would be appropriate in this situation:
F*** YEAH.

That said, regarding the current arc, {Spoiler}Things seem to be wrapping up, but with regards to the four brothers who were the antagonists Rock and co. had to fight, there's still a fourth unseen one. Next chapter might have things go down regarding that. Probably why Revy stuck her gun on the S&M gear of the girl she's going on stage with. |

Oh, is that the most recent reason for why Hell is freezing over?
Neat, I'm gonna go catch up on it.
