As long as sales improve in the second volume, I think at least Yozakura is safe.

Well, looking at the acceptance of Undead unluck, the jump may not need the mitama that much.Hang in there boys, we ain’t down yet. Shueisha recognizes Mitama and Agravity Boys to be our new gag overlords of this new decade. Give them your life force
Damn that's bad news, hopefully next volumes do better and it doesn't get axed before then. I know it doesn't have the strongest start but I think it's gotten quite a bit better and knows what it wants to be way better than most of the newbies atleast.
I think his power is something like Undecided, meaning that humans are complex creatures who both want and don't want at the same time. Like in Izumo's case she wanted to run away but was also so scared that her body wanted to stiff up, then the chinese guy amplified the one part he wanted and she couldn't run away. Same with the slash from Andy, Andy probably wanted to like 99.9% kill the guy right there, the 0.1% of him noticed Izumo coming towards them and wondered how she'd feel if she saw him kill someone in cold blood. If the guy had not used his power Andy would have followed his 99.9% and killed him on the spot, the 0.1% whiners be damned. But due his power he could enlarge the 0.1% to basically 100% stopping Andy straight in the tracks. And as long as he keeps you in his eye field you cannot overwrite his command over your will as that funnily enough is still your own will just enhanced by somebody else.
Do you just mean for manga? If so I wouldn't be surprised. If in general I've seen a lot more non-manga/LN stuff published by Kodansha. In fact, I don't know if I've seen any from Shueisha although I'm sure they have done some.
like manga industry? They already beaten Kodansha, the previous biggest publisher like 30 years ago
Despair! The sales of Jump gag manga has left me in despair!
Why you ask?
Pretty sire Yozakura was meant as an Action Comedy with Family SoL. Mitama makes lots of japanese wordplays and strange poses and exaggerated expressions and is all in all pretty wholesome.
This double spread (that is in separate pages in the imgur album looks cool (thanks to Kimi from WSJ Discord)
Uh....I've seen 80s gag manga, and Mitama looks nothing like them. The series art-wise is more styled off female-directed BL and shojo manga.
Be that as it may, do you think the artstyle hurt the series?
Not really, more traditional gag mangas usually don't have any great art, David-kun had a really good art and bombed, so i doubt that Japanese readers care much about artstyle in a manga about silly comedy, .
The one shot of this was in the 2017 Golden Future Cup. How did it took this long to make anything more out of it? And this is only just another, but longer prototype, a volume long mini series, like the Jump Giga stuff were, right?
Yes, it is.
Not even the winner of that year, Masaoki Shindo, published something yet kkkk
