OT J213806.6+261957: superhump period update

   Akazawa-san, Okayama U. of Sci. team, Maehara-san, Mike Simonsen,
Enrique de Miguel have reported further observations.
Superhumps still continue to persist, but the profile has become
flattened.  The mean superhump period since May 24 has been 0.05523(2) d.
The variation in the superhump profile and the flattening of the overall
light curve suggest that a stage B-C transition is ongoing.  Observations
for this and coming nights are very important to characterize the expected
transition.
