Hey I know this is off topic but I found this manga named Ziga and Amalgam of Distortion ran in shonen jump and I actually thoroughly enjoyed these series but then I figured out these were axed. Anyone know a reason why shonen jump would axe these series. At first I was thinking because they were mature but shonen jump serialized death note, TPN, chainsawman, jujutsu kaisan, and 60% of 80s jump battle shonen which are just as dark and violent as these series (some of them are honestly even more dark and violent).

I don't remember either being particularly good. Amalgam in particular was the most unironic edgy/chuuni series I think I've ever seen in Jump, IIRC.

Ziga was the same as everything else axed early, it just wasn't very popular. There was one character that readers quite liked but she showed up too late the save it. Honestly I think it was dead from the beginning, killing the love interest in ch 1 isn't going to gather much good will in WSJ.

Amalgam however got unlucky. I remember it had a bit of a fanbase developing (not big enough to become a hit, but maybe enough to last a year or so) but then the huge batch of 6 manga happened and WSJ decided to keep Spring Weapon instead of Amalgam, despite Amalgam both selling and ranking better (from what I remember anyway).

ZIGA was a giant flop, volume 1 sold about 5k copies in its first week

Amalgam wasn't better ranked than Spring Weapon, in fact never even got out of the bottom 5 and many times at bottom 2.

This. If my memory is not bonkers, it was axed long before batch of 6, and got replaced by another flop, demon plan or something.
Or maybe both of them got axed at the same time. Not sure

Undead and Yozakura are only a few spots up from last time :/ Hopefully they hold well. Mashle starting a couple spots above where Undead did, not bad.

 

[Minsel]

Yozakura was #40 on volume 1, and #47 on volume 2

Actually both were canceled in the same issue #12 of 2017 with Poro starting

 

[yadayada]

So chainsaw is still above blue exorcist even here. BE's last volume sold 106k in 3 days for comparison.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Yozakura is also above Saotome Shimai and the last volume sold 17k in 6 days.

 

[lazybones1717]

If Mashle stays on par with Blue Flag, it could potentially do ~30k in its first month (if Shueisha even printed enough copies that is).

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Volume 1 of Undead is also back on Shoseki at 220 and Volume 2 of Yozakura Family at 425

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Well, with Yozakura looking like is selling more and even vol 2 coming back, Jump would have to be really dumb to cancel it and sad to see Mitama dropping even more, it could at least keep some stable sales like Zumou but not even this, seems like nothing Jump do can help it.

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

Even though Yabuki's series is labeled as a love comedy, the preview picture makes it seem like there will be some kind of fighting. I hope so at least. I remember reading somewhere that Yabuki wanted to go back to action after To Love. He even mused about doing a sequel to Black Cat once. Instead it's a love comedy. What a waste.

 

[Newkerzy]

I’m pretty sure it’s 60% action, 20% romcom and 20% ecchi.

I think the editors pretty much forced Yabuki to put in a significant amount of ecchi. To be honest though, I’d rather it have 30% romcom with the rest being ecchi, about the same amount Black Cat did.

 

[Aipom626]

So just went to check my Jump Bookstore and found out I had Jump GIGA Summer 2019 Volume 3. So here's God of Destruction Magu-chan One-Shot. For those wondering, yeah, it's pretty much comedy. Not gag I'd say, even if it can go that way in the serialization. Overall feels like an interesting concept but the execution doesn't satisfy me that much. Hoping it has been polished enough for when it starts in Jump.

If the concept stays similar to this, I think I'll enjoy it. This feels like what Invade You really should've been about. I'm starting to feel a bit of hype now. If Mitama can somehow pull off a miracle and avoid the ax this round, I'll be pretty happy. Most of the newbies are pretty fun to read weekly. Hopefully some of them can fill the shoes the veterans are leaving behind.
