Can they just let Boichi be in charge for the manga volume covers from now on? That's such a good illustration.
When they replace you after 2 volumes, but they still pretend you are part of the story.
I'm already "excited" about all the anime-youtuber, who, when watching the Dr.Stone anime one day, say how they want Senku become the protagonist of the story, believing that Oak-boy(forgot already the name) stays as the leading maincharacter.When they replace you after 2 volumes, but they still pretend you are part of the story.
Closest example from what Ive read in Jump is World Trigger, though its more dualing MCs rather than one getting shafted. It is indeed a weird case, and probably not something many new authors get the chance to do because they’ll be cancelled by then.
I don't think the volume covers get printed without his approval, I don't think there is nothing to blame him.
Considering this is his first big chance to make it really big as a mangaka, he might be slightly reserved on sharing his opinion about the cover designs or he's simply too busy to care about such things when he's busy with two weekly serializations.

I've thought about JoJo, but it's still something different. At least in JoJo every new MC gets their own story with a beginning and an end, before we change time and place again. In Dr.Stone we continue with the same story, but having a new perspective & character. It's not even that we have a story, which is told from 2 POVs, bc I cant even recall the last time, when we saw our buffy dude from the start.
I'm not sure anyone would talk about this assuming that the anime first visuals would make it clear that Senku is the main character, i mean Taiju was like the lead main character only for the first chapter (though Senku took the spotlight on the first cover).
Hunter x Hunter maybe? with Kurapika being the main character for the current arc and earlier on Yorknew City arc.
Let's not joke, Noelle at least makes it useful from the early stages of the series. Sakura had to wait nearly 30 volumes for a decent fight.
Sunrise studio (Love Live) or maybe Kyoto Animation lol.Wait a little bit longer, I'm keeping my Dr. Stone anime speculations for later! xD. I don't know why people smell Toei, but there is one comment regarding the anime from a Q&A Boichi did on his website, from November 2017. Boichi himself wants an anime studio that can depict nature well and beautifully, which would mostly depend on the backgrounds and how good they are.
Who is Boichi's editor and what is his favorite anime studio, lol. We need answers, now! xD
Edit: Boichi gave us some clues, I assume he's referring to Toei, right? Damn, but it's nothing set in... STONE.
Well, this is more a case of popularity than planning, but, Arale was supposed to be just a special guest on Dr. Slump. Senbe was the MC. But her reception was so good that Toriyama changed his mind. In the middle of the series, he returned to give attention to Senbe, and the popularity fell.
