The Girls School Creator Publicly Airs Grievances About Editor Following Manga's Early Cancellation

The Girls School manga creator Haru Futaba wrote a public Twitter thread on February 29 alleging that their editor's mismanagement was what caused the manga to be prematurely cancelled after its second volume. They stated that they are legally seeking compensation from Shueisha.
Futaba wrote that they initially attempted to write down the circumstances behind the manga's cancellation in the second volume's afterword, but were pressured by their editor to remove it. They later posted a tweet with the text of the originally planned afterword.

Futaba claimed in this afterword that their editor would lose manuscripts, be late to meetings or cancel them at the last minute regularly, write typos and omit words, and constantly forget to communicate with the management side. Due to a miscommunication, Futaba's contract with the publisher was terminated, and the editor tried to mollify the artist by sending them goods bought with company money. When Futaba demanded to speak to the editor-in-chief, the editor refused to organize a meeting and instead offered Futaba 300,000 yen to stay silent. Futaba spoke to the editor-in-chief anyway and spent the rest of the serialization working without an editor. They wrote that the experience left them very demoralized, even after the editor-in-chief came to apologize to them personally.

Futaba also posted an audio recording of the editor telling them not to publish the afterword or speak of the situation online, saying, "We won't be able to protect if you do that." They then tweeted that they are currently in communication with Shueisha through a lawyer, but Shueisha's side refuses to acknowledge Futaba's version of events, and so the artist has decided to post about it publicly. According to them, the editor they worked with is still employed at Shueisha.
The artist concluded their thread by stating that they will report back when they next hear from Shueisha, "even if it takes another month from now."

Futaba first began serializing The Girls School on Shueisha's web manga site "Tonari no Young Jump" and the app "Yanjan!" in October 2018. The 32nd and final chapter was published in August 2019, and the second compiled volume was published by Young Jump Comics in November.

That sounds awful. Editor horror stories always leave a bitter taste.

The tweets mentioned (afterword and audio recording):

Wonder if that's indicative of other problems, and why YJ is struggling somewhat with new series.
I wonder. I feel like it’s fair to say that, despite its good circulation, YJ has the least clear identity, and less success with new series than any other Jump mag (maybe SQ is similar? I don’t know it well), so I could believe there’s something wrong behind the scenes

Thank you. Is this good or bad ?
Idk, i don't think the TOC is that important at the moment.
Better wait for volume 1 release and see how it perfoms.

100GF seems to be absent from issue 15.

Seems like the author is going to be a judge for some kind of contest, not sure if that has anything to do with the sudden break, but probably not, since I don't remember seeing it announced anywhere in the prev. issue? Seems like it's on break due to them working on volume 1 bonus content.

But it does make sense in a way.

Always wondered how Kingdom's numbers were so far below its volume count.
Most volumes were selling closer to a million in print copies alone. That's not counting all the backlogs it got over the past few years.

This number seems a lot more reasonable now.

Maybe it’s because the digital is included now? I checked the volume 56 cover and it doesn’t particularly specify digital anywhere unlike the volume 57 one which clearly mentions it.

yeah probably

we know that kingdom had been the top seller digital wise for a while now, so we can guesstimate it to be. ~10M+
