Mangaka have a hard enough time writing a half-decent finale on their own terms, let alone under editorial mandate. Share your most memorable ones.
>>287632313moonfuck is genuinely the only thing I remember of Nana Banana or whatever the title was so I guess it did do a good job at being memorable thenhere's a series that ended in a trainwreck
>>287632880>here's a series that ended in a trainwreckyou cheeky cunt, I see what you did there
>>287632313Obligatory>>287632880>ended in a trainwrecklol'd
>reading romcom>all of a sudden they start dating>next chapter proposal>next chapter timeskip to childrenok thenit was something about a JK working in a bookstore and she was slowly wearing down the manager who helped her study and pass an exam
Pretty sure there was a recent manga where the author added a gay kiss, and then on Xitter mentioned how neither character was gay and that it was the last chapter.
Got axed because the publisher rebranded into a hentai magazine
>>287632313This one had a surprisingly depressing ending, which made it pretty memorable to me.
>Your team consists of goddess, android, time traveler, esper, japanese guy>Our team consists of goddess, android, time traveler, esper, and we want that japanese guy into our team>Apparently japanese guy fucks goddess from first team in near future>The End
>>287634383Should have pivoted into being a hentai manga then.
>>287632313>What is the author doing now>He diedtoo bad
>>287634371Kito the Night Bell. And it wasn't just a single kiss, but multiple kisses.
>>287635048That's a nice wall of text but it still doesn't explain the kissing.
>>287634383Nothing valuable was lost
>>287635090Apparently something to do with kisses = forgiveness.
I appreciate that the author of this series was apparently told he only had 1 chapter left and instead of trying to explain the rest of the mystery plot he just made a pool fanservice chapter.
>>287635090Its religious kissing.
>>287635637Ah, so it's like that huh. I understand everything now.
>>287632313>Banana no Nanaremember it fondly
Devil in WonderlandHard to explain everything without spoiling the twist.
>>287632313
>>287635476Glad he went H route, still a shame he hasn't released his gyaru sisters sequel
>>287636167Axed and then got a terrible sequel
>remember reading a series kind of like Promised Neverland about angels being assholes and using kids as vessels to rebirth or something>setup was pretty okay, kid and his waifu, plus a friend who merged with a demon, fighting angels>just got done beating Bhudda at chapter 6>final battle occurs 4 chapters later>series ends>wonder what the hell was up with that ending and the rush-job that went on>the writer, overjoyed to be published as a first-time manga writer, died six chapters in of a viral infection, and the artist wanted to see the series through to an end in honor of himHeaviest thing I ever read after finishing a series.
>>287632313Do Retry's ending was a cry for help.>Author IRL is a stubborn and determined guy but he legitimately has zero talent for manga>Previous manga Bone Collection had an infamously bad first page and got axed quick>Do Retry was even worse>It's about a boxer who NEVER GIVES UP so he can become King of the Boxers and save his sick imouto's life with boxing money, but the matches were full of crazy gimmick fights like a guy with a giant jackoff arm or a guy who uses crystal meth to box faster>Gets axed, author has to come up with a finale on the fly>The finale is the boxer protagonist's grandson going to the protagonist's funeral>Grandson reflects on how his grandfather never made it to King of the Boxers but he still NEVER GAVE UP and somehow managed to afford the miracle Anti-AnimeAIDS meds for the little sister>Grandson then talks about how he's an employee at a dead end shoe manufacturing company (yes) and nobody believes he'll ever be King of the Shoemakers>His grandfather's memory inspires him to punch his abusive shoe nazi boss with the hereditary boxer superpowers passed down by grandpa>Swears to become King of the Shoemakers someday no matter what people think of him, even if he has to start over with a different manga publication... I mean shoe companyIt was a wild ride
>>287637004>Heaviest thing I ever read after finishing a series.Umaru-chan?
>>287637035>implying I read Umaru
>>287637004Mangakas are too fragile...
Not only is the final page hilarious, but the axed final arc adds a dramatic and hopeless twist to a series that wasn’t really that dark to begin with
Forever mad, god damnit
>>287636731technically not axed but the author wrapped it up over some legal stuff. It was impossible to recover from magic namek anyway. A shame really
>>287637022That's beautiful. Maybe the mangaka should try his hand at comedy.
>>287637022Honestly, I feel bad for the guy, it feels like even now he’s been subjected to too many humiliation rituals. From his “emotional” ending turning him into a meme parodied even by fcking Deadpool, to a tweet he posted promoting his new manga getting brutally ratioed by another tweet pointing out that, after all these years, he still couldn’t draw the anatomy of hands correctly.
Axed manga makes me sad
>>287634457Oh damn I loved this one, don't remember anything about the ending though.
>>287637022Kinda makes me hope the mangaka succeeds one day
>>287637004I didn't know the deadly japanese common cold is real.
>>287637136It's the 20 hour workdays. Mangaka probably aren't as horrifically overworked as they used to be, but hammering out this much art on a weekly basis is insane.
SCHOOL RAPE
>>287637552The art and also the writing. Especially if the manga is episodic and word-heavy, it can be insane to think of how that must be hell on a writer.In one of the afterword portions I saw a mangaka who said, "Well, my last manga got cancelled after two volumes. Guess I'll just plan assuming I'll have that much" and then before his first tanko released he nearly panicked when the publisher says, "We think this has potential for at least 10 volumes, try to give us that much" because he didn't even consider where to go with the plot.
>>287637022
>>287632313Tatari>Somehow keep going after an arc that definitely seemed like it would end in an axe>Get to spend dozens of chapters building up to the final boss>Give all the side characters a bunch of fights and development leading up to the final boss>End right before fighting the final boss
>>287637004The manga you're talking about is definitely Godspeed, but >the writer, overjoyed to be published as a first-time manga writer, died six chapters in of a viral infection, and the artist wanted to see the series through to an end in honor of himsounds like someone else. Takabatake Enaga, while not entirely unknown, did die young without ever having a proper major hit. But he passed away while working on a different series about mermaids, and I think he always worked alone.
Does Memesis counts?In all honestly it was inevitable anyway, and the manga was already so ridiculous that the sudden ending didn't even felt that out of place, yet i'll always miss it
>>287634457I always conflate this one with Candy Flurry, despite Ryoko being the better of the two.
>>287635048I checked the chapters out when I heard about that twitter post and I remember it being several pages of the MCs tongue kissing under the moonlight while gazing at it other lovingly or something. The kiss itself was one of the straightest part about it.
>>287637250At least this had a decent run for a while, it went longer than a lot of other axed shit did and while it had an obviously truncated story it still resolved some shit pretty well. The school festival was pretty good. And the chicks were hot the whole way through.
>>287634303Gal gohan?
>>287638141It's religious, you wouldn't get it.
>>287637004What the fuck dude. Why did you ruin my evening?
>>287632880Pun aside it was a fuckino kino trainwreck.really fucking sucks that the series came to an end purely because the magazine publishing it went under
>>287634260God damn Gal Cleaning was a fun ride
>>287632313My favorite.
>>287637925I'll never forgive Shogakukan for axing it
...................................
>>287637152yeah it was wild
>>287637250>major plottwist>axed 1 or 2 chapters after
The saddest thing about this one was the author spending the last 2 chapters in a long, angry rant blaming the cruelty of the viewers for not liking his manga.
>>287638215Granted, but the ending was still so abrupt, especially after a major reveal like >>287639032 said, that it felt terrible
>>287632313This one stuck with me for like 10+ years. It's a mystery manga where the MC's entire family was murdered and he was convicted for it but he didn't have any memory of what happened the night of the murders. It got axed and instead of just quickly wrapping it up and revealing who it was, the author just ended it with this page and said "please use this chart to think about who it might be" and it pissed me off. He ended up rebooting it with a different artist years later and revealed who the culprit was so we got an answer eventually but still what a way to end a manga
>>287638217Nah, but it's the standard romcom axed/forced happy ending.Sono Bisque is another famous example
>>287639366The shit ending legend. Yamaguchi Mikoto may be a total hack, but I'll always have a lot of respect for him going back to this old manga (one of the few he personally drew, too) to wrap it up years later, once he was well-established.
>>287637004That artist guy was a as they say a real nigga
>>287639366I read through this again as an adult after reading it in my teens and I actually did completely solve the series by the end I was pretty hyped lmao.
>>287632313>"90s cool"-style vampire manga ends right when they introduce werewolves and a cain & abel plotOf all axed manga, this and Scarlet are the ones I lament most.
>>287639960I remember getting pretty far into Tomodachi Game and getting blindsided hard when I realized that he was the same guy. My opinion of Tomodachi Game actually dropped a bit after that
>>287637385feel bad for laughing but kek
>>287640992damn, that shit looks sick.
>>287639109
Took forever to get to the rape. Too late by then. Glad it at least confirmed the obvious fact her handmaidens were fucked obedient and convincing her to fuck him back to get her to be obedient too.
japanese cold hiatus
>>287636167Where'd she go?
>>287639366>>287641844Don't worry we will get the sequel and everyone are gonna die like always
>>287637385>getting brutally ratioedIt's weird to me how twittertards are basedfacing at one post getting more viral than the other post.
>>287637250Yeah this one was fucked. Also it was heavily implied that this is a BAD END and they're still in the ghost's world or something
I still maintain that Medaka Box was axed.I'm still mad that Nisio Isin left Kumagawa with no closure or anything
For me it was Necromancersuper cute and sweet manga, really pleasing artwork...and axed...at least his new manga is doing well, with an anime airing currently(I Want to End This Love Game)
>>287643657Pity about his health. But for as much reliance as he has on NTRbait for drama in Love Game, I hope it's making him miserable.
I will never forget how PPPPPP ended. So abrupt and full of resentment, I could really tell the mangaka was pissed
>>287638689>Where is the cleaning?>Make my body clean again!That manga is truly a wild ride. I wish I had read it with /a/.
>>287643845This might the king of all crashout axed responses. Also the whole 8.91, 8.92... etc releases to spite the termination date as well
Someone remind me, wasn't Prison School an instance of this?
>>287632313Trinity Blood>Trinity Blood has been adapted into both manga and anime series, with continuity differences between the three versions. After Yoshida's death in 2004, his friend Kentaro Yasui aided in completing the manga, with illustrations by Kiyo Kyūjō. The anime series, spanning 24 episodes, was produced by Gonzo and originally aired on Wowow network. Both adaptations have the same unresolved conclusion as the final novel.
>>287632313Officially, this wasn't axed, but...you will never convince me in a million years that this ending wasn't the result of getting the axe.
>>287644366The spiteful ones are always fascinating.
Not a single mention of Mx0 in here. Really goes to show how much times have changed, that used to be /a/'s #1 "it shouldn't have gotten axed" manga.
>>287635048>it was metaphorical forgiveness anal
>>287644366i thought this was ridiculously tacky shit right from the first chapter, so i honestly enjoyed the ending
>>287643535post on 4chan get screenshotted and paraded around here purely because of them getting a lot of (you)s
>>287645026Isn't this thread more about outrageous/farcical/spiteful axed endings?
>>287644366Legendary shit ending.
Cannot find it at all, but there's some romcom axed with MC falling from the roof and finding his wallet. Mangaka comment: sorry, I have no intention to continue this manga in any kind of fashion.>>287639366Came here to post this.>>287644062No, it was a deliberate fuck you to the readers.
>>287639194This one didn't even have an ending
>>287643776Would you say he was... PPPPPPissed?
>>287645296So shit it loops back to kino
>>287632313>all his manga get axed >start writing one that is kinda popular>die
>>287632313How do people feel about "Our battle is just getting started" endings?
>>287645395I'm 99% sure it's because the other character was more popular than the main heroine.
>>287643594medaka was a fucking joke, i still dont understand how jump let a good but obvious troll writer publish his manga
>>287645525Is this the same guy who made Though You May Burn to Ash?
>>287645553Oh right, thank you for this one.
>>287645609I actually do get that he probably just ran out of ideas for the manga. It's not like he could've gone full battle manga at that point, and turning into mystery solving would have been weird.At least his series after, Kiss X Death, managed to run its full course on a different magazine. It's a shame his current one has been on hiatus since 2022.
>>287645679>I actually do get that he probably just ran out of ideas for the mangaIn 3 volumes? Maybe he shouldn't be writing manga.
I dunno if it was Axed but Kabu no Isaki always pissed me off with the whole>lol it was just a dream.
>>287632313I really like the ending in Furyou Taimashi Reina, it didnt felt too rushed even when it was and it closed the story in a nice way.
