I'm very sorry to write this but the timeline was not on my side. You see, the editor came to me last week and informed myself to increase the popularity of Keijo!!! This is not something you can do overnight. I was lost for words, as I believed we were doing fine in rankings. Today, I was informed by my editor that my manga is being removed due to the poor reception of the anime. The anime failed to make an impact, for advertising purposes, and the studio is carrying that loss because of it. It is my fault, and I am sorry. The source material should have been better and I've done a great burden. I was actually very surprised by the reception overseas. In various conversations, I was told it was greatly talked about in America. I'm glad some of you enjoyed it, but I'm sorry once again for failing. My sincerely apologies to Takahashi-san and XEBEC.

Especially considering that from what I saw, the anime kind of screwed up adapting the manga.

i didn't watch it the whole way through but from what i saw the keijo anime cut out a lot of good bits and occasionally took the fanservice in weirder directions that weren't present in the manga, and also made a couple dumb character changes

I just remember watching the first episode (maybe first 2 episodes?) and having no idea what the hell they were doing, then seeing someone explain that they cut pretty much the entire beginning and deciding to just not bother. I was going to read the manga eventually, but now that'll probably only lead to pain...

The manga arcs have satisfying resolutions on their own, the overarching plot has only really started pretty recently. It still sucks that it's getting dropped but it's worth the heartbreak.

yeah they skipped the first thirty chapters, which i'd be ok with since it's a good arc but not totally essential, but then they just kind of continued to cut character-building stuff

that big quote is only currently attributed to a random, unsourced 4chan post in a thread following a yaraon article. it's not from the site, because the actual article only says that keijo is ending, citing the magazine



some (reddit) have attributed the statements nebulously to the "author's blog," which is untrue, since the author hasn't posted on their blog since vol.15 went on sale. it's also strange because while the anime didn't do well in Japan, there's no reason for Xebec to have 'taken the loss' when the show had a large production committee. i can't say i've even heard of a serialization being canceled because of the anime.

yeah that's what i was thinking too. the entire point of licensed anime like this is that the studio gets paid to make it and the production committee takes any profit or loss that comes with it, so it's low-risk low-reward. it's why studios that mostly do original stuff or stuff that they have the rights to themselves, like kyoani, can pay their animators better. but i just figured maybe there was some weird deal going on there.
