Loyal supporters regardless of what happens in the story apparently. It just has THAT many people to back it really.
I wouldn't say Kagijin is gonna fall yet. I mean it just started, there is no way to tell yet. And Akaboshi came in at a bad time. The magazine is flooded with action manga and it wasn't original enough to stand out.
What do you mean?
There will never be space for 5 or 6 new series. In the last decade there has been one year where five new series lasted more then a year, 2004. Death Note, Gintama, Reborn, D. Gray Man, and Muhyo to Rojii started that year. 2004 was a huge exception; an inordinate number of established series ended in 2003 while only one series to start that year lasted until the end of 2004 (Buso Renkin btw). Four series from 2008 have lasted, or will soon reach, a year: Psyren, Mago, Toriko, and Bakuman. 2007's Sket Dance has now lasted two years. The class of 2004's success meant fewer series debuted between 2005 and 2007. The success of 2008 has meant fewer debuts this year and fewer cancellations.
"Eternal" only really fits Kochikame, Jaguar, and HunterXHunter. The latter of which is out of the magazine more often than in it. Ok, if you wanted to make a case for One Piece I'd give you that too.
Yeah it would be nice if Jump would just go "You know, maybe if we quit canceling so much stuff, we might end up with more hits."
I mean first series in the new set, like Beelzebub and Hoopmen, and Medaka and Akaboshi (Beelzebub and Medaka survived, and Hoopmen and Akaboshi are not).
I think that's just a coincidence. Kuroko was the second in its group, and its the only one left now.
Meister was the first of it's batch, it lasted a whole 10 chapters.
There are natural endings but it's few and far between that it feels natural enough. DB for the most part got to it's "ending" regardless of Toriyama's bitching and screaming forcing the series to go beyond it's lifespan. Kinnikuman also got to it's finale with no real problem. And meanwhile there are certain series whose "style" seems to allow for a natural ending regardless of whether it ends by author decision or low polling. (Nube is the best example of that)
Was talking more general quality of the comics, but fair point. That's probably a lot more applicable to what's being discussed.
Yeah but I think it was said here that Gintama was in the set of new series with Death Note and I assume its sold more than Death Note cause its been going so much longer.
