Not really. Next up will be the BW volume, though BW2 are already out.

Anyway, why are there so few HGSS volumes?

Because Hidenori Kusaka doesn't know how to craft a story around Arceus, let alone the Ruins of Alph or Sinjoh Ruins.

How about a story based on Groudon/Kyogre and Lati@s too? That would pad out the chapter a bit more.

What's the point of padding out? Either he has a good story to tell or he doesn't. Merely showcasing features of three-year old games shouldn't be enough. If anything, he should have revisited the Johto legendaries.

Wait, how do we know this is the final volume? I could be missing something obvious here, but I don't see any official indication proving or disproving this volume being the last of the Chapter.

The preview from volume 41 referred to the climax being covered in the next volume.
