Same thing with the mangaka's other work, Shiki. Lasted 11 volumes and had an anime, yet nobody is talking about this one.Some random stuff I was thinking. Why is Hoshin Engi so minor?
I know is important in some way (Ore Collection promo, anime reboot). But merchandising and popularity-Wide, is really minor. It isn't even so old (1996 manga which was the main backup to Kenshin in the post-DB and pre-OP era), and it sold like +20 million print copies, but when you think in 90s Jump (without counting the 1990 titans) you think of Kenshin, Yu-gi-oh, Shaman King, Dragon Quest Dai no Daiboken, and sometimes Midori no Makibao and Sexy Commando.
Nube is the other title that suffers this. It sold as much as Assassination Classroom but more than NuBe 2 in Grand Jump, nobody reembers it.
Funny thing, I just picked up reading Waq Waq yesterday, finding it very meh and cliche. Not surprised it failed.
