It's almost certain that they it will be continued later on.

I Believe the cause for the break is that the anime has caught up quite a lot to the manga. It's literally only a day (in the story) behind.

They also ended it with a cliffhanger. Now this could be done to get more people to read the manga and/or go back to the series once it starts up again. However, no one can say it for sure yet, at least not until there's been some kind of announcement. Again this could've been done to get more people to read the manga.
