He's saying that because so many people read manga on their phones, mangaka do not emphasize a double-page structure as much (they don't work so well on phones). Basically, he is upset that manga is no longer primarily expected to be read in physical (which makes sense, since from what I...

In the Volume 9 Afterword lol? There is literally no interpretation of your question that wasn't already answered. I'm impressed these kinds of posts are still allowed here from you.

Um... in the post you're responding to? Himaten is confirmed to be moving toward its conclusion because the volume said "the story has begun moving toward its conclusion".

Yes. But also, they lost 8 years worth of mega-hits (Haikyu!!, The Promised Neverland, Demon Slayer, Yuuna-san, We Never Learn, act-age, CSM) all in a single year in 2020. The magazine went from having 4-ish "filler" slots at most to like 15 almost overnight. Nowadays there are a few less...

I don't think that's untrue, but I do think there is more nuance to it. Mitama Security ended "early" at 47 but had been headed toward a natural resolution about a volume later. Ichinose Family did have bad ratings, but it is apparent that there wasn't, like, a whole extra year of content that...

I picked Moriking on purpose. To be clear, I think it is fantastic. I have read it several times and it is in my top 5 gags of all time. I also do not think it was ever really intended to be a long-running manga. And it wasn't one. I also think the same for, like, Ichinose Family or...

Even since 2020 I think it has been clear that Jump runs certain series, not because they have "potential" but to have some variety in the magazine for a little while. A lot of gags (like Moriking) are like this, there is no way Jump thought they would be long-runners. I would put Someone Hertz...

Close enough, welcome back Agravity Boys (we are so back)

i'm happy for you, or sorry that happened ig

Someone Hertz is really, really good. It feels like something you'd find in Magazine or Pocket, not Jump. I love it.

Someone Hertz is good. That is all.

I like Nice Prison because it is Nice. On the other hand, it is intimidating to me because it is a Prison. I think it is very deep to explore a setting that should be not nice, but is actually nice instead. (You'll never guess how I feel about Ping Pong Peril.)

WHAT? I log on for the first time in months to see absolute peak. That's my GOAT right there 😭 EDIT: I didn't even see that it was JJK I just saw Yūji Iwasaki. Cipher Academy was not in vain.

You're acting like you're frustrated that people don't like Otr. It will live or it will die but the criticism is always valid. This is one of the only break-downs of "why a series is struggling" that I really like. Good analysis.

Well, it's impossible for 3 series to end from 41-43, because there aren't 3 series to axe. You mentioned that TES and Blue Box would probably be over by then. But then you gave TES and Blue Box a cover on 46-47, over a month+ after you said they would have been axed. I'm curious what you...
