Shounen Kurogane by IKEZAWA Haruto

[Negative Syndicate]

My point being that even if Kurogane would normally fail to make the cut, it might now just because weekly shounen jump's situation lowers the bar a little.

I'm not sure Jump lowers the bar a little. I think the Jump editors are having difficult time to determin which series to cancel because there aren't permanent cushion series for a while. There always have been at least two series that become a cushion to save other series; but there aren't really permanent cushion series, so they have to consider end some little bit established series.

I think Kurogane is safe for upcoming session, but we never know if Kurogane will be safe for another session on summer.

As expected ST&RS got the axe this week. Genson! Kodai Seibutsu-shi Pakky, the new bottom rank, is probably the next up to the chopping block.

The good news, Magicano dropped below Kurogane and Pajama na Kanojo is not exactly ranking all that well either(and the axe falls a lot quicker for romcom stuff). Which could put a couple more series between Kurogane and any potential cancellation.

The bad news, Haikyu! the new sports manga is ranking quite well and the upcoming oneshot "Cross Manage" is supposedly another sports related manga. It's rarely a good thing when the genre of a series that isn't doing so well suddenly gets crowded.

Why is it bad news for releasing the sport-related one shot?

Why is it bad news for releasing the sport-related one shot?

Because, as I said in the section you quoted, the more sports series Jump shows interest in the less room there is for series that fall into that particular genre, more series means more competition, for those spots. In other words the less expendable the series is the better.

At present it's...

• Haikyu!
• Kuroko no Basket
• Kurogane

If they pick up the one-shot, that would be yet another; making Kurogane more expendable than before especially if it can't outperform it.

Even if the editors decide to serialize the upcoming one-shot, it going to take at least around 1 year to be serialized. So, the one shot doesn't really affect Kurogane because we never even Kurogane still exist on next spring.

I don't recall saying it was a short term issue.

It's just that the more sports manga's Jump has available the more Kurogane has to earn it's keep. If Cross Manage does not perform well, as often happens with oneshots, then it's a moot point but if it performs well then Jump will have one more sports manga to work in down the road. That makes Kurogane's position weaker not stronger as long as it maintains it's current ranking. Which is why I mentioned it.

Yeah, but you should worry about whether Cross Manage gets serailized after one year. Remember, Haikyuu!!'s one shot was released on December of 2010 in Jump Next and it took more than one year to be serialized.

Within one year, there are variety ways may happened to Kurogane like it already established its own fandom or it already being axed when Cross Managa did serialized. It is too early to worry at this time for the one shot affecting the series.

I'm glad that Kurogane still has time to get an established fandom and be in a good position, but I'm really dissapointed that Magico and Pajama na Kanojo have to suffer for it. Maybe Jump should stop publishing romcoms in that magazine since, even if they are good, thay almost always get low rankings after a while.

The Sayuri X Hiroto seems like it might be fun so I hope they continue with that, but I always though he might go for Shiratori since she was the only girl his age.

I'm actually don't mind Kurogane ends if its space will be filled by the sport dance one shot which was released last year.

Well, Nisekoi seems to be doing really well, and its a romcom, but of course its still early. Also, I think Magico will be fine, I also think Kurogane will be fine for now, it just needs its rankings to rise a bit, which I hope will happen in the upcoming battle.

From Manga-news Japon, it said that St&rs, Bakuman, and Pakky will end this session and there going to be three new series. So, I think you guys should pray that the new series to be a cushion for Kurogane.

I've never been that interested in vomics, but it could be a sign of good things ahead, because it doesn't have to get one...

Jump usually gives vomic to a series which are doing good and serialized for at least six months. But, it doesn't necesary mean that it is safe from cancellation.

I know that much...That's why I said it could be a sign of good things. I didn't say, "Kurogane is safe from cancellation," however. I still think it'll be at risk until the mangaka makes some changes.

 

[Jammin]

I think it has to be taken as at least a mild vote of confidence in Kurogane. After all, it wouldn't much much sense to do this otherwise.

This pretty much sums it up - a vomic is not free pass for a series to necessarily last long. However, an anime adaptation I would say is a different thing, so that's the one to watch out for Frosty.

Indeed, Hamy, but so little happens in each chapter, that you'd need probably 100+ chapters in order to get an anime here. Even with that many, it couldn't last that long, unless you put ridiculous amounts of filler or boring training sequences in.

A vomic is a step in the right direction, but unless changes occur, I do expect Kurogane to get the axe at some point in the future. I think in two cancellation periods, it'll be axed unless things change. I've already stated that I think Kurogane needs to go more in the supernatural direction in order to succeed.

Ah, it looks sweet. Seems like he found a new friend in... uh... that other school's counter expert XD I wonder what they're talking about.

And I hope with this we'll get to see more of the "supernatural" side, that last attack was pretty cool even though I'm not sure it was really anything supernatural..
