Talk about a bad take... I don’t come on here often, but I thought this place was largely devoid of the haughty arrogant know it all types that supposedly plague Twitter. I say supposedly because I don’t use Twitter, I only know hearsay. But it seems toxicity runs rampant everywhere. And I don’t see how Boruto ruined Kishi’s reputation. He created Naruto. No matter what happens, the fact will remain that he created one of the biggest juggernauts in the medium. Toriyama is doing fine. I don’t think Kishi has anything to worry about. Though, I can imagine he must’ve felt a bit sad after getting a passion project of sorts of his cancelled. I’ll never understand S8’s cancellation. I can only imagine it had too many people out for it from the start, with people (both fans and not of Naruto) not wanting it to become as big as Naruto. Ever since it’s left, I’ve found no enjoyment at all in the magazine. I’ve actually kinda just fell off of anime and the like entirety after that. Here’s hoping another series I enjoy pops up soon. Though, it seems unlikely with the direction the magazine is going in.

The thing about passion project is that sometime you can let your passion blindsided you about your work shortcoming. S8 have too much ideas that Kishi want to tell without consideration for the pacing or trying to simplify it. The fact that Jump over promoted it and treated as the next big thing while neglecting other series made people very hostile to it, especially when it can't live up to the hype and in fact quite mediocre. People don't like when Jump play favoritism just because it came from a famous author.
Thank you for the Orange Road Matsumoto-sensei. I read his manga a few months ago si it was still fresh in my memory now.
Not sure why it's hard to understand that the milking of the franchise that Kishimoto made can affect his reputation especially when it's acting like a direct sequel.
Ayakashi will probably rank in Oricon, even though it could be out, but it's 100% safe sales-wise.
We could do the same thing as Dragon Ball then, but I don't think Tory's reputation has been damaged.
notice how Ayakashi Triangle made it to the preview where series that are older than it didn't
I think Yozakura and Agravity boys are not so popular as to appear in this preview.
I think it spoils that AT is part of the next boost campagin
