These are numbers in print, not sold right? Which means that even if everyone bought all the volumes available, it won’t reach beyond that number.
Not to mention that Taishi is also a father with a daughter of his own.... you can guess how he feels about this.
It's a tough call but I'd say I'm still in the camp of it being just a little below Mashle/Undead Unluck right now. I basically agree with what others said a few pages back on that topic. I don't think it's going to end soon but it was still dead last 6 issues ago and once the latest four series all start ranking it could still be in the bottom 5. If it proves not to be in a few months still then I'll consider it to be safe/rising (and also hope the story goes in a direction befitting a longer length).
Oh don't worry, I'm not willing to call this the end of the magazine by any means. After its recent losses I'm more trying to remain positive that there's still so many new faces yet to fill the magazine that we don't even know about yet. I know I'm looking forward to all of the next batch at least!
It could have ended with a funeral chapter, Kei's funeral. You don't need to be am amazing writer for that, to have everyone show up and mourn Kei who died before she could become an amazing and world famous actress. And in some way it did end with a funeral. Ch.123 which won't get translated in english ends with a grave. Fitting, tragically fitting.
That's probably better suited for the AA thread, but given the circumstances, I'd say it's alright. This could help with the grieving process, I suppose.
What?! Didn't know Ichigo 100% had a fan ending? What's the name or how should I look for it?
Damn! This is really depressing all over again! It really was an amazing combo! Art in places like this and writing in places like galactic railroad arc. It was just last week, we all ranked act-age. I really wish she bounces back soon, her eyes were really one of the most expressive in almost all Manga i have read.I'm sure everyone here will support Shiro Usazaki's next work whenever it comes. I knew her art was special from chapter 4 when this scene happened. You can feel Yonagi's pain:
I'll happily follow whatever she puts out in future. She's proven she could do almost anything - romance/slice of life wouldn't be too far off what we see now, anything historical would look great, but I'd be confident she could excel at an action/battle shonen with all the amazing on stage moments she brought to life.
Wouldn't be the first time a Jump manga gets a crazy weird abrupt ending, have you heard of princess hao?
I'm actually tearing up and I've never even read this manga. So much potential, so much talent, so many fans... A really great manga that died for reasons that weren't it's own. (Unless you count the writer as part of the "own".)
Thanks So much Kei. You deserved better
Each arc is 9 chapters, actually, so it has 18 chapters left. It'll just barely last for the rest of the year. It won't make it out of Winter 2021, though.
I'm really happy she's sticking around. She's a real valuable talent. Also, 85.4K followers, nice.On a positive note Shiro has removed all Act-Age stuff from her twitter Bio, and now it simply just say “I am a manga artist”
So it seems like she’s definitely going to move forward with her career; and not stopping, like we feared.
Most likely, yeah.
