Well, that's unfortunate. Of all the new titles this one was at least tolerable. And it did seem to be moving to something half way interesting. Art was pretty solid all around.

Really wish it wasn't ending so abruptly. Its right in the middle of something.

Its no Stealth Symphony, but its still unfortunate its gone. Mostly because I don't see anything to replace it.




PS: How many years do you think E-Robot will run?! hahahahhahaha *dies*

Disappointing, but not at all surprising after the incredibly sudden resolution of last week's chapter. Oh well... I'm hoping Gakkyu Hotei has a nice long run as well as whatever the new series we get after the next Jump Starts is.

I don't think about "years".
But I'm think that's World Trigger next. Even with the anime it's really at the bottom of the charts.

Nah, it's not at the bottom but still at the lower end.
All those new Jump series, so next on the way out will be Sporting Salt and E-robot.

I hope Viz adds Assassination Classroom soon with this free spot.

Indeed, a bit of a bummer because it wasn't half bad.

Ah well.

The anime has proven a significant boost to the volume sales, World Trigger is not ending this year, not when it sells more than others currently being serialized and it's anime being 50 episodes long.

Volume 9 sold 60% more than volume 8.

It currently sells better than Hinomaru Zumou, Psi Saiki, Isobe, Kochikame and the newbie series I didn't feel like listing off with the exception of Boku no Hero Academia. It's still low for a WSJ title but it's volumes have been steadily increasing in sales, I wouldn't be surprised if it's volumes start selling more than Toriko's this year.

I always found it weird that this series even won the JUMP Start in the English JUMP. Now if only Gakkyu Hotei can be axed too.

Gakkyu Hotei is already getting another color page. At the very least it should be around for a bit (preferably a lot longer)

I like Hi-Fi Cluster's concept, but the pacing was all over the place. I couldn't get a strong grasp of the world or characters.

Really hope Viz adds My Hero Academia as the replacement! They seem to license every big action series at some point and this one is already outselling World Trigger so sooner rather than later would be much appreciated.
