Posuka, Shirai (TPN Duo) and Usazaki

 

[Rukasu]

Naoshi Komi and Numa Shun

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Komi, I don't think any vets that I have a particular connection to left other than him lol.

 

[Zetsyn]

I'd like to see Kawada because of his oneshot last year and Shun Numa because Samon bias. Maybe Naoshi will have a "Hey, I'm alive, again" oneshot . Maybe some of the 2017/2018 batch could come back, could have a substantially better run than they did their first go round (See Gondaira).

I imagine everyone who's had a successful series end in the past few years will be back except Sorachi. A lot of them have even done oneshots already.

Moriking's creator on the other hand almost certainly won't be back, as this is his third cancellation. Which makes me wonder, how many mangaka have actually had 3 cancelled series and no proper hits in WSJ? Most seem to either find a hit or go somewhere else after 1 or 2 failures. Ones I can find from a quick check are

- Munenori Michimoto (Yatsu no Na Wa Maria, Dice King, A.O.N)
- Tooru Uchimizu (Sengoku Rappaden Sasori, Kain, Asklepios)
- Mikio Itou (Normandy Secret Club, Granada, Nazo no Murasame-kun)
- Haruto Ikezawa (Kurogane, Mononofu, Noah's Notes)
- now Hasegawa joins that unfortunate crew (Yakenohara Jin, Spring Weapon, Moriking)

somewhat notable is that the first two seemed to have all 3 be quickly cancelled, while the latter 3 had at least one that did okay. There's probably some more too.

does the artist of TPGW counts?

 

[Ravellino]

I would like to see Kawada coming back with a Baki-style fighting manga

 

[tirakai]

does the artist of TPGW counts?

People suspect artists are treated differently since Obata drew a bunch of cancelled series from different authors before Hikaru no Go, so it's hard to say if they'll be back or not.

Yoshihiro Kuroiwa, who passed away in 2018, actually came back after three U19 in a row.

- Sasuke Ninden (10 chapters)
- Majinryū Barion (11 chapters)
- Hengen Sennin Asuka♡ (18 chapters)

Then he teamed up with a writer on Fushigi Hunter, but it only lasted 17 chapters.

Though he did have a little success elsewhere.

Havent posted here in a while, JJKs backlog is pretty crazy, most ppl predicted it'd be around MHA or TPN level but it def surpassed all that.

 

[samama10]

Mashle vol 4 week 2
Shoseki rank #111 - 11,630, overall 66 471!!

 

[susanoo13]

So, question for everyone. What prominent veterans that haven’t already returned are you expecting?

Kawada and Fujimaki with a non-sport series and Iwashiro. Just like soneone posted above me about Shinohara that deserves a 20M series and I agree, Iwashiro deserves that as well and finally to get a series animated.

About less prominent artists, I would like to see Galaxy gangs and Amano Youichi

 

[Ike79]

Yozakura got 4k this week, up to a total of 25,651 in 14 days.
It´s not what you'd call a great result, but it's still growing. That's enough to survive nowadays.

Mashle really grew a lot this time around: 66,471 against 37,837 (10 days) from last volume. If it keeps going like this, it'll pass 100k in no time.

The others didn´t rank, as expected. Bad news for Magu in particular, since the other are already dead.

Any chance we see another boost?

Edit: Nevermind, I guess this award isn’t one of the prestigious ones, as it’s unlikely to boost sales.

CSM has been in boost mode for like the past year. So even if it got one, I don't think you'll be able to notice it.
