I'm not surprised at Bone Collection ending, the artwork and the story wasn't that good.

Wow that was a short run! And it only made it up to 15 chapters? Damn, even Guardian of The Witch lasted longer than that!

No real surprise. The story was another exorcist fighting onis/yokais with some reminiscence to Lum (alien/supernatural girl pairing up with dumb male character). But the art wasn't that impressive.

Not surprised it got axed but kinda surprised it got axed this quick.
The art was a bit clunky but I feel like the artist has potential. The story was pretty meh tho (from the...one chapter I read. I did like that the demons use Yahoo Answers)

Honestly, the end caught me off guard. I sorta knew it might not last long, but yeah, it ended much sooner than I expected. (I actually thought TPGW was gonna leave first.)

I actually really liked the first chapter. But as things went on, both the art and narration got sorta weird. IMO the author wasn't ready yet for weekly serialization but they certainly have potential.

It’s not much of a surprise. The Jump system runs on popularity surveys, and series that don’t quickly find their niche get canceled, with fresh new series ready to take their place. It’s a cyclical thing that happens several times a year.
