The tweets about Shin in the Kill Blue account are all getting thousands of likes and the character also trended, even at the time i felt like Shin got too sidelined in the manga but now i really feel like Fujimaki made a mistake in not including Shin much more in the story, the character is clearly popular with the japanese audience and he doesn't even have a solo volume cover...:sweatdrop

Uta is huge with japanese fans, she even became a theme for a group issue cover:

Yes, but I don't think it's Uta, the character herself, that is mega popular. I think it's because Ado is her (singing) voice and Ado is the one that is huge. And because Ado is huge, Uta is huge by extension. Like if she didn't have Ado's voice, I doubt she'd be as high as 9th.

I don't mind Uta btw, just 9th is insanely high lol. Especially for a one off movie character from a movie that came out like 4 years ago at this point.

Damn, I’ve been alternating between Robin and Jinbei, but I feel like Robin is guaranteed to 10. Sending all my love to Jinbei from now on!

Nah Uta herself is also extremely popular. Film Red in general was huge and she hit it off big in Japan. Ado obviously helped but the story of that movie and she herself was also a major part of that

By the way that thing about Kiyoshi's cancellation was apparently a mistranslation lol

It doesn't really change much since the series was ranking bad until vol 1 & chapter 19 were released, Usui was at the very least feeling the pressure of a possible cancelation at the time:

ULTIMATE EXORCIST KIYOSHI

Ch1: Cover & Lead Color Pages
Ch2: Color Page

Ch3: 3rd (Not Ranked)

Ch4: 4th (Not Ranked)
Ch5: 8th (Not Ranked)

Ch7: 9th (Not Ranked)
Ch8: 8th
Ch9: Color Page
Ch10: 9th
Ch11: 12th (Bottom 4)

It does change a lot because people are parroting now series can be "unaxed" after getting the call, completely different from a manga being at risk and surviving, something we always knew was a possibility. See how people are treating Alien Headbutt now, this will poison Jump discourse for years. People will mention a manga ranking dead last for months, without color pages, is obviously getting axed and others will reply "but Kiyoshi means it's not axed yet".

I don't even know why the WSJ account posted that. They don't post Jump MVs, bigger announcements like merch or pop up stores, etc. Actual relevant news of the current series.

And that's true, we literally have series that were axed and brought back immediately lol That is something that can happen.

You're giving too much attention to what Twitter says, Twitter says dumb stuff all the time, even with the Kiyoshi news there was plenty of ones talking that Oda forced the editorial to keep the manga lol There's no win with these people, so just relax and ignore them.

They posted just like they posted about Hima-Ten moving to its conclusion, it's important information from the author comments, if there was a small mistranslation, well, too bad.

Your examples are two series 20 years+ ago and they were both indeed axed before coming back. It's not something common enough to be used to dismiss conversations, might as well say everything can be moved to Jump+ because it happened before with Ayakashi Triangle.

Misinformation spreads like fire, doesn't matter if it comes from Twitter. The Oda thing never made any sense because several Oda assistants were axed before.

It doesn't matter if were from 20 years ago, it means Jump can bring back series if there's a big outcry, just as Jump can move series to Jump+ if they want or feel like the series is just not suited to the magazine anymore but still popular (Ayakashi Triangle isn't even the first case), i'm really not getting your point, are you just annoyed because Twitter is thinking they can save Alien Headbutt or that Twitter will start pulling this with any new series? Let them do, if the series is a flop in sales will not happen anyway lol

The Oda thing doesn't make sense but that isn't stopping annoying people on Twitter from forcing this narrative.
