This comes as no small surprise to anyone who read those early chapters. For every cliche My Hero Academia and Samon the Summoner are smashing, Daily Demon Diary played them to a T.

I wonder why these "3/10" series even get published. It was obvious that this copy of copy of unoriginal content won't last long.

Or anyone who's been following the rankings. It's been dead last for five straight issues.

Yunn -san as well, hope those two keep going strong. Still talking a little sad to see a series fail so early, the art was cute though so I hope the author can try again soon.

I don't know anything about this manga series, but it always amuses me when these articles are published on ANN about a manga ending its run in Shonen Jump or whatever magazine it's being published in. I'd like to think that probably 90% of the time when these kind of articles come up, it's just a nice way of saying that the manga completely tanked and got cancelled.

Surprised this actually got enough for three volumes. To me, it was like the worst new manga in Jump since... the beginning of when I started paying attention to what was new in Jump. Don't think I even finished chapter two.

The author seems to be obsessed with ramming Batsu's crotch into Takuan's face. The rest of the series was not that good either, but that the crotch-ramming kept happening, and especially with a girl who looks like she's 12 or something...it just annoyed me to no end.

Though it's far from the most aggressively annoying series I've read in Weekly Shonen Jump. Thankfully, every series that's been even worse than Takuan and Batsu were all quickly canceled.

The worst?! Non non non! Surely that must go to the utterly vile E-Robot and Love Rush.

My knowledge of the subject is limited to the discussions of it in Bakuman., but apparently WSJ gives a series about 20 chapters to prove itself, and if it doesn't in that time, the series gets axed. So approximately 20 chapters is three volumes' worth.

IIRC a series can get axed as quickly as 10 weeks in if it really tanks in rankings, so just enough for one thick volume (since chapters 1 and 2 tend to be 50-ish and 30-ish pages respectively)

Yeah, E-Robot is one series (and the only one) I can think of that was canned after one volume of chapters.

In the past few years, yea, E-Robot (11 chapters) and Mutou Black (12 chapters) would be the quickest cancellations I can think of. Not the quickest if we extend the time period to within a decade ago, as then what comes to my mind would be Chagecha in 2008 (8 chapters).
But going back to recent times, 2 or 3 volumes would be the two most likely lengths of instantly axed series, with I believe 2 being more common.

No, Love Rush is Awesome. YOU'RE Vile.
