So, Hirakata (author of Shinmai Fukei Kiruko-san) going to draw Free!? :teehee
I'm shocked. That is a swimming manga right? And the other is some futirist manga? Your move, Sharkbait...

Based on the color page, I think I Shoujo going to have ten different stories.
Ten different stories? In what meaning? :hmm
It is because of "ver1.01" in the name of the chapter?

The color page and cover have good colors, I like it.

It wrote on the color page about something like "Ten person, Ten Color" thingy.

Plus, I Shoujo is an omnibus romcom series, so I think the author already planned ten stories beforehand.

Beelzebub probably did not end on the authors terms,
This is the main sticking point for me. I understand that it was going to end soon, that was unavoidable, but the manner in which it is ending just seems rather slapdash. I mean, I know it's no bleach, but if an end was coming, you'd imagine they would give the author time to close it out. The fact that this feels abrupt, as if they hit the button on fast forward to reach an end is why I consider it axed (though, I guess it wasn't cut short as much as it was smashed together). That they couldn't give it a little more time to at least have it end in a manner that seems natural. I know it might be too much to ask for considering that there are other things in play in the background that we might not be considering and sales/rankings might not be the only issue at play, but it's what we have to go on at the moment and in this situation both things seem to match up.

It's to be expected though. Jump editors are ruthless. They do not care about past success. They will not grant you amnesty of a even a couple of weeks to end your story.

It says the same quote from before about being a "Fantasy of new sensations". Also there's a small box that says "What will this boy meet in the city where all different kinds of species/races intersect/interact?"

If it follows about the one shot's plot, then it going to be about the bodyguard company.

Right, and actually, I'm not so much arguing against what happened, but just how we're categorizing this practice.

Isn't Illegal Rare supposed to have a color page as well? o_O

But yeah, a popular long running series is going to get colorpages for its final chapter. I don't know why the spoiler dude didn't label it as the last chapter, but it totally is. I don't know what Mago's exception was, but the extra chapters in Jump NEXT was probably to fill up the volume.
Nope, it was to give Hiroshi time to finish it properly. IIRC, the last volume had only the last of those three chapters in it (so it caused an overfill). The rest of pages of that volume had five regular chapter-sized sized omakes to finish the few things left unresolved (another luxury given to Mago).

Except when they do. But the amount of time they give an author may still not be enough. Like it's said that Hiroyuki Takei was given a few months worth of chapters to work towards an ending for Shaman King, and... He totally didn't pull it off, giving one of the most notoriously awkward endings in Shonen Jump comics' history. And weirdly I think he might be the only example where people have even indicated how long an author has been given to wrap up, so... Man, it's almost impossible to say how ruthless Jump editorial truly is with this specific sort of thing.

Considering that Beelzebub isn't a series with long arcs I think it is quite plausible what Tamura did in this ending. The facts happening in the story really nedeed this pace to make the fight against the time more real. If I have to say something that was rushed, it was the final fighting, but one more chapter it would become a normal fight for Beelzebub, in length.

Well, it can say either way. It is possible that the editors axed the series; but, it is also possible that Tamura already thought about ending Beelzebub as well.

So, I think it possibly like both the editor AND the author decided to end the series.

"juunin toiro" doesn't necessary mean we'll have ten stories but "several people have different ideas"
Then again, judging from the cover/lead spread, we'll most likely have a main couple, 3 important side characters + the app girl thingy

Well, it may not going to be ten stories. But, it did said that it'll be omnibus romcom series, so I think I Shoujo going to be a collection of short stories.

Are you talking about Ultraman one shot?
Yeah, though is it supposed to represent Ultraman? It's written as aratora-man or something. I wonder if this will be a gag manga...
