What happened in 2018 axing wise? Real Account returned back to Bessatsu (for what I am guessing is the schedule matter), 2 moved to Magazine Pocket, Fuuka+Tsurezure ended, and Kiss and Cry + Tsue Petit Mahou were axed, am I right?
Especially with how flexibile Kodansha is, saying "axed all the time" is not true. Nothing is like WSJ. Fair enough for the last sentence.
Not a fan of how this discussion went though. There is no need for this to be a multiple reply "war" of opinions imo, just because we disagree. I won't reply further, since this is going very off rails now.
2018 was an unusually successful year. (Espeicially because lot of them were returning veterans) 2017 had around 10 series axed with most running less than 30 chaps. They certainly don't hold back if things aren't performing.
I've finally read all the translated Orient chapters (26) and I read the raws after that. This manga might be a little bit overwhelming for some people, it starts off in a really crazy way and it just shoves everything in your face with a bang.
The artwork is stellar, I expect no less from such an experienced veteran, the spread pages are quite the spectacle, the color work (especially in the volume covers) is absolutely stunning. I love how well the art manages to portray the grand scale fights, the action scenes are very dynamic and intense and the character designs are beautiful, I love how expressive their faces can get.
In a way, this has a mixed appeal of Attack on Titan and One Piece. It reminds me of AoT because of how the fights against the gigantic monsters are handled and how there is a desire to free humanity from these mysterious beings. It reminds me of One Piece because of the hot blooded nature of the characters and how there are groups of people of the same kind which all go compete against each others in order to achieve one common goal, a goal that has been chased by humans for many years.
At the same time, this is very different from those two. The setting is weird but interesting and I always have fun with a grand scale adventure series. The main characters so far are all great and I want to see them achieve their dreams together.
This is not for everyone though, if over the top shonen protagonists & ideals are too much for you to handle, this probably won't be your thing.
I expect this to get an anime at some point in the future, but I will say this will be incredibly difficult to pull off in animation.

I think World End Crusaders and Kessen no Kuon were both also axed right around the beginning of the 2018 volume count (or maybe the last issue of the 2017 issues). As for the ended series, Hoshino also concluded last year. Even for the 2 series that transferred to Magazine Pocket, they still weren't selling nearly as bad as some of the bombs from the year prior (Kessen sold like a thousand copies or something). I'd say the most brutal ax of the year was Kiss & Cry, which I think only had 14 chapters.

I didn't even realize how good of a year 2018 was for Magazine.
-Getting two popular new action series from well known veterans is a very strong addition to the lineup. I can see both of them becoming pillars of the magazine in the future.
-Danshi Koukousei wo Yashinaitai Oneesan no Hanashi was another addition to the magazine's already big list of very popular romcom manga.
-Bringing in an adaptation of the Bakemonogatari series from a popular veteran was another incredible move, that's basically guaranteed success.
-Blue Lock might end up being a sports series the magazine relies on and it seems to be gaining more followers. I don't know how well Hitman is doing
compared to Seo Kouji's other series, but I could see it staying around for a while since it's selling fine.
I'm excited to see what interesting mangaka we're going to see in the magazine this year. Kodansha have been doing their best to bring in veterans from many places. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

Me neither really. I think they made a lot of good decisions. Though the latest batch of Yoru, Gamblers and Shichiha (Vol 1 yet to be out but I dont sense buzz here) seems like a bust. What is Danshi Kokosei about? Is it translated?
Hitman seems like it will be a stepdown from Fuuka (mangaka previous work) in sales. Too bad, I liked the first 5 chapters so hoping it sticks around.
People should not be relying on sales and focus on what series people want to keep reading in the magazine to keep it afloat that is what manga magazine seems Japan forgot that and started focussing on which is bad thing.

After reading the first chapter I can see why people call it a watered down Magi. I know first chapter isnt the best indicator but I'm going to read through this over week. Shinobu's art is stellar indeed. It has a cool setting and I love me some historical settings.

[I don't really know how to paste photos without subjecting to copyright]
