That one got axed pretty quickly, not even 6 months.

Wait, this series will end with 16 chapters. How is it getting 3 volumes? These are typically 2 volumes.
And yea, it's been expected for the past month plus. This cancellation round is basically Mitsukubi Condor and Yoakemono getting the axe while Naruto wraps up. |

Why are Shounen Jump titles getting axed more frequently than ever? What do the readers actually want or look for in the latest titles? FYI, "something that does not suck/isn't garbage" are not reasonable answers as everybody has different tastes and preferences than the person making such a comment.

Not exactly an answerable question since the frequency of WSJ titles getting axed is still basically the same. 4-5 rounds a year; 2-3 series a round is the norm.
But if you want to assert that the frequency is going upward, you're welcome to make an attempt to prove it. |

I have found a list of titles that have been cut recently:
Hachi -Tokyo 23 ku- Iron Knight Illegal Rare iShojo Stealth Symphony Tokyo Wonder Boys With Mitsukubi Condor ending this week, that makes 8 so far this year. |

Now, when you say more frequently, there is a second component. When comparing A and B, you present not only A, but B as well. In this case, you would then follow up with the cancellation rate of previous years.
For example, in 2013, the series that people would generally agree to be axed would be: Kurogane, Date-senpai, Hungry Joker, Kiruko-san, Cross Manage, Koisuru Edison, Mutou Black, Smoky BB, Kurokuroku, and Hime-dol; 10 cancellations. And so forth and so forth. Edit: Alternatively, you can count the number of new serializations in each year. The number of series that WSJ runs at a time tends to stay within a particular range, so while not exact (plus doesn't account for short series), you can estimate 1 new series = 1 finished series. Then you can look through the list of series run in WSJ on wikipedia and count for any given year the number of new series. Like 13 serializations started in 1985. Or 19 in 1981. Or 20 in 1980. That was a...different era. |

Wasn't it transferred to a different magazine though? |

iShoujo failed out into Jump Plus.
It's somewhere in between survival and definitely cut, but way closer to axed than not. It was a bottom dweller for a majority of its short WSJ life. Speaking of which, there's also Soul Catcher(S) getting demoted to Jump NEXT. Same with Beelzebub (which I've heard as being a 1 year swan song...but only from 1 source I can't verify, so grain of salt). (when you get bumped down from WSJ to something that publishes 6 times a year due to your low rankings/sales/revenue, that's an axing with some measure of dignity) |
