It's hardly a sequel. It's more like an epilogue chapter because it was canceled from the magazine but it needed more time to end. The same thing happened to ǝnígmǝ.

The secret project could end up being a sequel manga in Jump SQ (like TLRD), or it could be an Anime/movie. But the Nura that we know is definitely ending.

I don't understand. Nearly everyone I've seen talk about this has implied (or just come out and said) that this "sequel" will just be one chapter. Where did that come from? What has indicated it will be one chapter instead of the… oh, I dunno, two to four that the story seems like it might need to wrap up?

That's 40-80 pages. A 40 page minimum chapter could easily be done in one last chapter run in a seasonal magazine. Granted I would like to see it run longer than that too...

The thing is, Nura was canceled. What's the point in canceling a series if you're going to give it two to four 40-page chapters? Jump is relentless when it comes to cancellations. That's just a risk you take whenever you start reading a new series from that magazine.

Well, Shiibashi-sensei is coming to Taiwan this August, and by the experience any WSJ mangaka having enough time going abroad is equivalent to having an "interlude;" it can be a conclusion, a hiatus, or a cancellation. You don't see Eiichiro Oda traveling around the world, do you? The schedule of serializing in a weekly magazine is extremely tight and demanding.

Please don't ask me to ask Shiibashi-sensei about the detail of Nura's canc...... I mean, ahem, transfer. Doing so would get me kicked out from the anime/manga industry. Anime catgrin + sweatdrop Any other question is welcomed. Very Happy

Off topic maybe, but why can't Jump manga artists do the same thing that other serialized artists do when they need a break and invite a guest artist (like Anime News Nina Smile )

I don't see what harm that would do and it could be a great way to cross promote or try out new artists...

The thing is, for something that was previously as popular as Nura was -- and it was still doing good tank sales -- why not give him a few weeks notice then to wrap it up? I mean, he went like 21+ tanks, right? 1st Half of 2012 it sold 1.2M copies, ranked 20th out of all mangas. Why are they cancelling it? Especially without letting him wrap it up properly like they are with Bleach which is also failing?

I can't think of any example other than Kannagi, in which the guest artist happens to be author's brother, which minimizes copyright and creativity issues. What if the guest artist becomes more popular than the original creator? It would be emotionally embarrassing and legally troublesome. Nina is not a commercial manga -- at least not yet, plus strips are very different from serializations.

Ever read Bakuman.? As the most popular manga magazine for decades, serializing in WSJ is extremely competitive, and veteran editors (particularly chief and deputy chiefs) can be very cool, almost cold-blooded.
