If I recall correctly,
I loved when Luck Stealer (which was in Jump Square, but still shonen) used an adult MC. Such a shame we dont get that more often.
Tsuyu was in the top 10 in the first two japanese polls and in all the viz ones (if you mean western sites).
True.
And it would also be necessary to wait for the 2nd volume to know if the popularity of Estelle would help or not in the survival of the manga, and I doubt that the jump will wait so long to cancel saiyuki.
basically this
I'm an adult that read WSJ, I don't particularly want an adult mc in the magazine
It wouldn't exist if it was on WSJ. And I don't know why this makes any difference, except for the fetish of having every manga possible to have an anime. lol

Not only that but seinen magazines like Comic Cune and the kirara line uses female characters on middle/high school so it's more the intention of the magazine than the major public reading it.
I think were talking "young adult", maybe even "older, mature teen". And also in some sort of badass or fantastical context that still allows for escapism.
most people really liked this manga, I would say that much more than samurai 8.
Yeesh, you come off as really bitter.it's good that they gave Chainsaw a chance in the end, but being on the fence about a series because it isn't Jump-ish while shoving GIGA flops here and there isn't really making me hopeful
my point in mentioning those 4, is to say you don't need to hand hold new series, they can break out by themselves
even ones with slower start than instant hits survived the magazine until their anime popularity arrived
and about the campaigns, it's the same argument as Coach vs General Manager from sports discussions, when a team is doing badly who's to blame?
the coach or the guy that put the coach in this position?
are those rookie editors to blame or who put them in that position? I would argue their superiors are
Kamio & Saiyuki have been struggling magazines wise since ch 9
but they kept them in the magazine for 10 more weeks (about 3 months)
why? the the hope volume sales would be great enough to save them?
now, that volumes are out and flopping what did they gain?
a good old 12 ch axe could have cut their losses
What do you mean saved IDs? I had no idea you were able to see that (though they could just be the usual placeholders and not mean anything in the end).
Every 4 weeks WSJ titles chante the links they use for chapters, and usually hace 4 saved of what I call IDs (f.e., lets say One Piece gets the ID 1000001, then 1000002, 1000003 and 1000004, and then 1000005 would be other series). This can change whenever the series gets a break (like Boku no Hero some weeks ago, which ended up in the series only getting 3 of those IDs) and of course when series ends. It has worked everytime as of now, that's why I'm guessing they should still get 3 more chapters.

Yeah, this is basically it.
Elaborate a bit, please? I'm not 100% convinced those aren't just blanks.
That's the most I can elaborate. You can just check how f.e. Act-Age chapters from 68 to 71 follow that pattern, then change to another series and do the same, etc. I cant actually give a full list of how this works because its pretty hard to do it on phone, but you can actually check how they use 'batches' of URLs for every WSJ series every 4 weeks.
