I hope the artist gets another chance at something good cause I did enjoy her art. Just sucks cause act-age was legitimately something I looked forward to each week.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.

act-age is canned, over, kaput. they will continue to support the artist, whatever that means

Probably because the overwhelming sentiment on Japanese twitter(and with me) outside of sympathy for the victims of his crime, was how much this loving sucks for the artist of the series. Who is an extremely talented up and coming artist.

That's something, at least. People can be really awful about it when someone who makes something they like does something terrible.

Yeah I was looking forward to seeing where it was going to go. It's far from the most important thing here but it does kinda suck.

I am the sexiest poster in the world!
lovely news and a drat shame. I'd put good odds on the artist being paired up with a female writer before too long, and while the reasons for that are lame I'd be interested to see a team of female creatives put out a shonen manga since I can't think of a time when that's happened off the top of my head, at least in shonen jump.

I definitely wouldn't mind somebody stepping up to write up a few pages that present at least a bit of a conclusion to the story, maybe showing the full cast for the director's dream movie all in costume or on a poster or something.

Even though I found her artstyle hella charming, maybe the Demon Slayer lady might be up to it if she ever returns to take another swing at the fences?

some of clamp's manga ran in shonen mags, though obviously never in jump

Blue Exorcist comes out only once a month; maybe its mangaka could write somethin if she has some spare time!

Come to think of it, is there a good list of shonen and seinen manga by Women/NB Mangakas anywhere?

Don't have a list, but off the top of my head for Seinen:

Houseki no Kuni
Dorohedoro
Gangsta.
Mushishi
Saint Young Men
House of Five Leaves
Hourou Musuko
Sangatsu no Lion
Otoyomegatari
Hoozuki no Reitetsu
Bonnouji

And Nabori no Ou is a shonen manga by an NB author which has a major NB character. I recommend it.

Don't forget Rumiko Takahahsi, most of her stuff has been published in Shonen Sunday. :v:

The super big obvious one is Hiromu Arakawa with FullMetal Alchemist and Silver Spoon. She also does Arslan but I’m too lazy to google to see if it’s just art on that one.

Arslan is adapted from a novel by the Legend of the Galactic Heroes guy.

Yeah, but you can’t just take the dialogue from the novel and plop it into manga format, so I wasn’t sure if someone else was doing that. The story already being created does help quite a lot though and I guess if she has a bunch of assistants doing 2 series is easy enough.

I tried watching the Arlsan anime after reading Hiromu's Arslan manga but it didn't really hit the same beats as the manga.

It was a major downgrade.

Ergo, Hiromu is good.

Ah, yeah: She's handling all the main aspects from the manga adaptation.

Can't remember the last time Arslan (the manga) updated.

theyre also cancelling production on all the previously released volumes. im pretty sure bookstores in japan with the volumes in stock are pulling them, too, though that seems to be more what they're doing on their own rather than mandated.

on the one hand i get why but on the other hand lost media sucks for any reason, esp. sicne this series wasnt even entirely by the person who committed the crime

Yeah. Also (while the reason is markedly different, of course) it reminded me of the Chihayafuru author getting her work Flower of Eden blacklisted and it not receiving any further releases due to plagiarism.

Magi is another good shounen manga with a woman author (it's also in my top 3 favorite - something about that series really pulled me in)

One thing I was surprised to find out just now is that Deadman Wonderland was apparently also written by a woman mangaka.
