*looks at assassination classroom and tokyo ghoul*
Gee if only Viz had any popular series they could add to their magazine now that Naruto is done. Jump is such an obscure brand name it's no wonder they have trouble finding things to add.

Okay I'm done being sarcastic and bitter now.

Assassination Classroom is most likely reaching its climax soon and so wouldn't make much sense to add to the weekly magazine for a brief stint. & Tokyo Ghoul is over and onto the sequel series so it doesn't make much sense to add the sequel when they've barely started on the original.

I do think an accelerated release schedule would benefit boh of these titles though. They both have a fair amount of content not translated by Viz and I think there is definitely enough of a fanbase to support monthly released of volumes (as Kodansha USA did with Fairy Tail, Attack On Titan, Noragami).

It really seems like Viz is slow on printing manga that are so popular in Japan that they will be popular here. Tokyo Ghoul is such a success but it has a long way to go and there's still re.
