The last page is probably saying more about that character (who isn't in Iroha's class) than about Iroha. Or possibly it's just part of all of them being sinister for the hell of it since they're our next challengers. Sindai fucked around with this message at 08:05 on May 8, 2023 |

Shinji2015 posted:I'm less worried about that being a thing if only because right now the MC still thinks of himself as an adult; him taking being called creepy extra hard because it was coming from a middle schooler and he found the idea horrifying feels like a good sign of what direction the series is going in that regard. I think having his ex-wife around (and probably his kid in the future) will also help IMO it'll probably go the route of the girl getting a crush on him, but him definitely not reciprocating in any way.

they've been churning through new series looking for the next big hit. they don't want moderately popular, moderately successful manga. though to be fair, most of the stuff getting the axe is complete garbage.

I've think that you should never get invested in any WSJ manga under like 100 chapters. You're just playing russian axe-roulette every week, it's not good for mental health. That said, if Polar Opposites gets the axe, I might just lose it.

No Wave posted:I kind of get it. Nougami neuro ran for 200 chapters but what's really the point when rear end class was immediately 10x more popular. I enjoy plenty of longer running series that arent explosively popular but it doesnt make a whole lot of business sense in WSJ specifically. I think the issue is that there's a need for the sales of related products, like toys/games, which requires a series be popular enough to warrant producing toys/anime for it in the first place. And even though I like Fabricant, it doesn't lend itself well to that. I imagine that they probably always want at least __ number of ongoing series like this, at least within the "action/fighting" genres (which a series like Fabricant belongs to).

Are webtoon format comics or app-based manga that are more indie something that's popular in Japan right now? With how unappealing some of the revolving door series have been in Jump lately it just makes me wonder if it's maybe a recruitment issue. Mangaka are known for their grueling schedules so if there's an alternative maybe the best they're getting are generally more along the lines of Earthchild and Aliens Area. Also that new manga by the Bone Collection author, Do Retry, seems like a big improvement in art style. Hard to believe it's the same person. I'm invested entirely for the post-war time period though, I'm always interested in seeing the Japanese perspective on the Pacific Theater of WWII and postwar period.

Yeah I feel like the end of One Piece now being visible on the horizon, at least internally and probably for some time now, has SJ kind of panicking. MHA and JJK being in their endgames is also probably not helping at all.

PPPPPP faffed about for weeks after the last climax and didn't seem to have a direction, on top of being just a really bizarre manga in general. I know it had a fanbase, but I'm not surprised it was canceled, is what I mean.

I don't disagree that the publishers would really like to have a replacement for One Piece lined up, but based on all precedent, isn't the final arc of One Piece probably going to be like...as long as the rest of the series combined. So another 20 years

Also like Jump has loving always operated like this lol. Kimetsu no Yaiba/Demon Slayer was a middle of the pack rated jump series until it got it's anime and blew up in popularity, but it was never like unpopular. But yeah the Anime made it something more. It's just that now we over here get almost every series that is in Jump that is not like extremely japanese(and even then sometimes shout out to Cypher Academy), and we see almost every series. So we note when some series that most people would have never heard of or seen 10 years ago is canceled. In every era of jump there has been large amounts of turnover, it's just now we see it, because we are seeing poo poo getting translated on sundays that like might previously get translated like 2 weeks later by like the 4 people who got the magazine and saw the raws and were interested in the series. Like something like Yozakura Family in the 00s and early 10s would be some series that would only get translated in batches when the tanks get out. Or people reading text translations, along with looking at Raws. Dexo fucked around with this message at 00:51 on May 9, 2023 |

It was knocking pretty much every single big fight out of park from mugen train onward to the end, even if there's some...wonky stuff during the closing arc due to whatever circumstances caused the manga to head into its conclusion where it did. It was an extremely good manga and ufotable basically yelled at the top of their lungs thru animation that folks were missing the gently caress out.

Chainsaw Man's sales dropped a bit for part 2, even with the anime boost, but it's still a better seller than anything in Jump right now except the big three. Meanwhile, Spy X Family has insane sales, with over 2 million copies per volume average, even beating out MHA. If we're looking at cancellations, then one thing to consider, if a series survives the first couple volumes, is growth potential. Even if growth is slow, a title that's picking up new readers is probably worth keeping around. Ruri Dragon is probably the thing Jump's most disappointed in, looking at recent titles. Instant smash hit, still has attention all these months later, but the author isn't in any shape to produce new volumes last time anyone heard. It's Tantalus in manga format.
