Well, there was a series that was in bottom 5 from the beginning, but it increased massively to second top of top 5, but it still get axed on two weeks after. Also, Hitomi no Catoblepas's ranking wasn't really bad. It kinda moved around and not in bottom 5 for more than 2 weeks, but it sill get axed early. So, if Akaboshi fall again to bottom 5 on next week, it still has a chance to get axed.
I'm saying from my point of view, it seems stupid to move a series up outta the bottom 5 to the middle of the magazine that you were planning on canceling in a few weeks.
I don't think that's why they killed a character. In both cases, it seemed like it was already something planned whether they had good rankings or not. The only thing is both artists realized they would get cancelled and had to rush their story.
it's ratings aren't anything to sniff at, being better than almost any other jump thing on the airwaves at the moment.
The only series I've read from kawashita was Ichigo 100% and so far I think Ane Doki is more interesting specialy because the main character grows within every chapter, I'm happy it got colour.
Reborn probably won't have action for some time unless they start a new action arc rigth now (but I don't think so we will probably have some talk for quite a while) it will be a litlle down until the fights begin again.
I thought Rookies was really popular, though. I recall people saying the movie was a huge hit or something like that, anyway... Kochikame seems to be doing pretty badly, though (it took a huge hit in viewership for episode three, wow!). I can see why they'd want to promote it more.

Rookies was a huge hit, though. It even got a film to conclude the story. It's also worth noting that Rookies fits the idea of a 'drama' a lot more than KochiKame does. It might not be a huge hit, but it's still getting pretty solid ratings.
Well maybe if it holds into a decent rank from now on, the artist will be able to spend time on character development
