This feels like what it is. Half of a maybe interesting chapter/start. I really don’t mind if that’s the translator’s choice (to splite the chapter), but if this is how the chapter was released in the actual comic or magazine (or however it originally released) in Japan, then I do want to point out that that’s not the smartest idea for the series. Possibly a part of the reason why it’s completed at 2 volumes. A reader’s introduction/the start of the series (when they’re the same thing) is the most important part for the author. You have to hook them before you can start reeling them in. Half a (hopefully) interesting chapter doesn’t do that.
