Shounen Double Arts by Komi Naoshi

Wow...that part kind of sucked.

 

[Quetz]

heine killed DA imo

 

[wade69]

Mangaka got to stop going with WSJ they just cut any manga that doesn't do good. This reminds me of Mx0 all over again.

Now there's a rumor over in the toc thread that Arts is going to be canceled for two new series. One by Sawaii and another called Asklepios by the author of Kain.

Fan freaking tastic. I was just starting to get into DA, too. So much potential for a long manga...

 

[bax]

Yeah, that's how the rumor goes.... I don't want to sound like anything, but I've heard and seen enough to say that most of the time these kinds of rumors are usually true >.<

Ahh well... if it's really true, then a sad thing indeed =/

this series had kept me intrigued since day one, and things were moving at an awesome pace that wasnt too slow or too fast, Sui always kept thing interesting. but after sui dissapeared for 3 weeks during the Hine story. i think that kind of killed it for the readers, and i had hoped that things would pick up a little faster after Sui returned, and after Falzen, save Andie, was wiped out. but until just now, things are starting to pick back up, i hope Andie arives soon, and that this causes the story to move foreward more quickly.
i seriously hope that this story continues.
it ranked 18th last week, 3 away from the bottom, and 21 being last. on Onemanga, it's rank is 125 of 721 and it climbs at a slow but steady pace.

however, if it does end because of the lack of popularity, it'll probably end in a fassion similar to his one-shot, Island. (or an, "Off to face the thousand year night..." style ending found in Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank.)

 

[Austeria]

Waaaiiiitt!

What happens when a series get cut from WSJ? Does it just... end?

 

[Neji2112]

it depends, usualy they give the mangaka a few weeks to try to pick the story back up, however, if it doesn't they probably tell the mangaka to go ahead and wrap things up as quickly as possible... then cancel the series or send it off to another magazine, but that's quite rare.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

well with the revelation of the double arts now, i suppose it'll end on a 'let's go' note, maybe with whatsername appearing from the falzen unit and them heading off heads held high. and a bit of romance perhaps.

but really this is a shame, for them to make this decision despite a high selling volume

 

[bax]

Well, the news just came in. It's confirmed. This week's DA will be the last.

Sad indeed.

 

[wade69]

Mangaka should just go to Shonen magazine from now on.

 

[Shrimp]

Damn... sad news indeed... And it had so much potential too. I guess it won't be sent off to another magazine ?

(time to update my sig... again *sigh*)

 

[bax]

Damn... sad news indeed... And it had so much potential too. I guess it won't be sent off to another magazine ?

No news so far.... It could be either way.... If another publication wants to get the rights to publish (prolly the rights held by Shueisha will be void when the manga got kicked out from Shueisha) and the mangaka agrees, then yes, we could see the manga in another publication. Although I must say... too early for that, I guess... but who knows...

That.. or it'll just be like that. Cut and nothing else to follow. Honestly, this is the worst thing that could happen but unfortunately, this is what happens most of the time >.<

But DA is still very very young, and it has potential.... Perhaps something will follow.

 

[Muddy]

It's not going to happen. Plenty of good series with potential have just been cut shorts and left at that - granted, few have been as incredible as Double Arts, but there's really no reason to hope for anything more in this vein. Another manga from Komi Naoshi later, yes, but nothing more from the DA world.

So much for your [admit it] dumb theory about DA getting posted like Jaguar, Randal. I didn't want to say anything while the series was still running, but that was less likely than Inumari Dash becoming the next One Piece.

I'm a very bitter Jump reader this year: first Muddy, now DA (and the latter a good deal better). At least there are still amazing manga in the magazine ala One Piece, Reborn, DGM, and Neuro. Gotta keep reminding myself of that. Oh, and Psyren's looking up, but who knows how long that one will last now too... the bottom is falling out under it.

 

[haya5h1]

I was afraid this would happen - I guess that's why we got a kickass fight last week. But I suppose it's at a good place to end.

Perhaps there could be an epilogue in JSQ or an Akamaru... I just don't see how it could be wrapped up in one chapter.
...That is if Komi-sensei doesn't decide to end it on a sad note, which has been my biggest fear since the series started .

 

[Pirulito]

What the hell!?!?!

Two weeks ago, I posted:

I hope it's really the beginning.

because the title of that chapter...
But now, it's an end.

Hell
Jump piss me off...

Well, I just thought since they gave it two covers and everything. Oh well, maybe it could still get an anime if it sells well. Look at Hatsukoi. It got canceled and got one. Then the story may even be expanded. That's been known to happen with some adaptations.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

WHAT? IT'S CANCELED? WHY? WHY? ...that's so unfair

Hatsukoi had ecchi going for it. Double Arts was more of a class act and careful to steer clear of that route ...oh but wait! It had SHOWER SCENES!

Much as I'd love to see Double Arts continue in some shape or form, I fear that's just not going to happen for a newcomer like Komi-sensei.
