The manga ended in 2013 and the anime ended in 2009, is not that enough?

@AlixEisenhardt While your answer sounds legit in itself, we seek documented answers with credible sources. Where did you find out that the anime has caught up with the manga? Has there been any official declaration that they wanted to continue rather than wait?
