This comes from an interview with Shouji Sato, who illustrated both HOTD and, currently, Triage X. The writer of the series, Daisuke Sato (no, they're not brothers), died in 2017. Here's the important parts of the interview, translated by /a/:
Shouji: I started Triage X because SATOU Daisuke became sick in 2008. My editor told me to make a new HOTD but add other elements to it like cool motorcycles and a strong hero. It needed some sort of male hero and school setting. We (Artist + Editor) knew the Dragon Age readers would love that.
Souji: I wanted to end it in 6 volumes, because it was supposed to be a short in-between series until my friend Daisuke got better and we could continue HOTD. Now we're at 18 even though there was a note in volume 6 that the series would wrap up soon...
Interviewer: I'm a big fan of HOTD, wouldn't it be possible for you to continue it on your own? Or get a new author for it?
Editor(?): The final volume of HOTD is Volume 7. The ones who would be able to write a proper continuation aren't in this world anymore. Satou Daisuke was an outstanding writer, even if one would consider the material trivial, his commitment was out of this world. He wasn't half-hearted nor did he let others interfer with his vision. So if I were to continue it now, it would be like spitting on his grave.
Shouji: Overseas fans do not understand our struggles with this, they just write "Just continue HOTD alone", but that's not easy. I know that we stopped in the middle of the story and I know Daisuke would allow me to continue it on my own, but I cannot allow myself to put my hand on it without him by my side.
Editor: Overseas comics seem to have various writers. One starts, one falls, another takes his place. We don't do that. No one can replace the original author for us.
Interviewer: Well when will Triage X come to end when it clearly didn't happen in 6 haha?
Editor: 6 was the turning point, we're at 18 now. ...About Volume 28.
Souji: I'll try to end it by 21.
