NEWS: Red Hood Manga Ends, Neru Manga Reaches Climax in Shonen Jump

Mashle Witch Watch Black Clover Neru: Bugei Dougyou Ayakashi Triangle

For the record, none of those series besides NERU are in any risk of cancellation. Black Clover has been established for years and has a movie coming in the next year or so. MASHLE is easily the most successful new series in Jump at the moment, with the latest volume selling over 100,000 copies in its first month of release. Witch Watch is also doing very well, with the current oricon rankings for its latest volume looking very promising. Ayakashi Triangle is selling just fine too, especially since it's an ecchi series.

People tend to put way too much importance on Jump's weekly table of contents order. The only significant sign is if a series is consistently at the back of the magazine, for weeks or months on end. That's what we saw with NERU and Red Hood, and why anyone playing attention expected both to end pretty soon.

I cannot believe they cancelled times great series. Why is it rubbish like DB Super, Boruto and a stupid Generic Harem like We never learn get to continue but a promising datk fantasy like Hunters guild is cancelled after a few chapters?

Would have loved to see more of Debonair.

This is just my opinion, but maybe that was the plan (and the reason there was no patience for RH, two buff females which were not villains was too much for the editors). Because I do not think WSJ would have a battle manga with a female character in a protagonist role, there is one similar manga called Death Deus: Hero of the Dead but that one is published in HobbyJapan.

The Promised Neverland? I know it isn't a battle manga (it kind of become one by the end), Emma was the main character
Anyway, Debonair has already been replaced by a character in Undead Unluck. The best part about the character is her face fits her body way better than Debonair. Man, I can't believe how better Undead Unluck have become

Neru was cool, and I'm sad to see it go.

I agree, it is BS that it got the axe. That being said any way to check its sales? I personally don't know how or how to measure if it is good or bad.

Red Hood had a good idea, if a little unoriginal, and the introductory chapters were well executed, but the followup was incredibly clumsy and tone deaf. It was prepping us for a dark story reminiscent of Claymore, and instead it tries to sell us another special people academy with a long and boring test arc.

Wait what do you mean by “replaced by a character in Undead Unluck?”

Do you mean Isshin? She is not as buff or has appeared (unarmored) as often. The closest level of female buff protagonism atm in WSJ is Star And Stripes in MHA, but I do not see her outliving her own presentation arc (as expected).

Shame that Neru got axed next. When it was first appeared, I thought I was seeing a birth of a really promising mangaka in a while. I really like the classic martial arts touch to it. It did falter in later chapters seemingly due to the pressure of being constantly in the bottom, and so preparing for a potential axe.

I wish Jump would start selling these titles digitally overseas maybe via manga plus. And maybe then to a degree, more global readers would deserve their say on their favorite titles, polling would be open globally and so it won't only depend on the Japanese readers. I feel like these two titles could have more chance to survive with the global readers' support.

I reccomend watching or reading Bakuman

Yo are there really people shitting on We Nver Learn?? I think it's a much a better romcom series than Quintessential Quintuplets (I still liked it) & I will stand by this comment.

Aside from a few super vocal complaints about the ending (not that WNL escaped criticism for it's ending(s) either), general consensus from what I've seen is that Quints is overall more well-liked. Quints have also regularly absolutely demolished WNL in sales, and WNL never really performed poorly either.
