Most of these series are actually already in the SJ Vault!
Stealth Symphony, Red Sprite, ne0lation...wow viz has recognized greatness so buying these. Each in their own way are some of the best pieces of writing in the magazine.
So does this confirm that Yui is getting axed? A digital only release while being together with...well. Not really a pleasant group to be in.
This explains a lot.
I think all it means is Viz doesn't have faith in it doing well if they went through the effort of a physical release but they might as while do a little extra effort of compiling it. They have exact readership data for every Jump series now after all not just what people's 4 favourite series of the week were so they can see if people here actually care about Yui. Plus we already know if stuff is doing alright here despite Japan's reception they'll give it a physical release based on School Judgment.
I always thought Viz gave Gakkyu Houtei a more special treatment (which included the print release) because it came from Hikaru/Death Note/Bakuman artist. It was always more likely that it would sell well enough internationally (and be initially better received in both English and Japanese Jump) rather than a random newbie from a random mangaka.
He doesn't own 2 houses. He rents out an apartment & only the first floor of his house is used for his workspace. Anyway, I won't use this video as being representative. Who knows how much he's left with after paying his assistants, tools & ofc taxes at y/e
True, my bad. But from what I saw from studios of other mangaka, it isn't much different. I doubt that most that have established series don't have money even without an anime.
From what I remember he has one cancelled manga and the other he has is AKB48 which he was the artist only. Of course he's a veteran and not his first work but I guess I wasn't expecting that idk. haha
You can find most of them here:Seeing that video reminds me how much I missed Jump Ryu. I remember one guy on youtube uploaded a bunch of them but they ofc got taken down
P.S. Now that we touched upon that manga, I really liked that it was able to break the fourth wall sometimes, though it is a shame it went out with a massive potential but lackluster execution.
