3M by vol 12 while KGB reached that by vol 9. Your logic works only if you ignore digital completely. And it makes no sense to compare physical sales of year 2017 to 2026: these decreased sharply over the whole industry.

Over the past decade, there have been a ton of series that I've found bad, disappointing, or both. However, no manga was less deserving of its popularity than Kaiju No. 8. Nothing about its story or characters was interesting, and its conclusion read like a protracted U19. In short, it fucking sucked, and I hope S3 bombs.

The moral of Kagurabachi is that you must make sure to never leave any survivors and always finish the job. Ukizane failed to successfully exterminate all of the Mikaboshi resulting in the Seitei War and present day plot.

How could you determine it's a people fight series when it didn't even last 13 chapters before getting the axe notice? Do you know what that term means? Oh no of course you don't, you just saw other anons using it and being a 90IQ midwit are incapable of properly understanding context.

You want to know what People Fight means? I will tell you, a series that only cares about hype fights and is devoid of characters, story, and world building of substance.
>Muh 16 chapters
Fuck off with this shit. If a series was shit in that amount of time it will stay shit. Kiyoshi never got better after it somehow was able to survive 93 chapters, and neither did any other axebait that survived longer than it deserved. In that amount of time Luffy, two strawhats, Buggy and even Shanks from a few flashblacks already had depth. Naruto was into its Land of Waves arc, the Hunter Exams were already full of creative twist and turns, and even KGB had introduced Sojo by then. There is nothing in AH that could even come close to anything I listed, and don't tell me that "the big twist" that went viral xhitter would of had led to anything when it didn't even lead to anything that would make the series actually of worth in just these last few chapters and the series is still same shit as ever. The only thing that giving an axebait that can't even bother to give you a reason to be invested more time ever leads to are shit shows like WSM were half of the magazine is garbage that should've been axed out years ago.
>Muh editor

It's an editors job to:
1. Guide mangaka so they don't write uninteresting slop.
2. Guide mangaka so they don't write slop which sells like shit even if it's interesting.
3. Guide mangaka so they have marketable elements in their manga (to create merch).
4. Prevent mangaka who won't listen from serialization.

It's awfully presumptuous to assume a failed series could have been successful with only a few minor tweaks. Sometimes no matter what you try readers will simply reject a work outright. AH seems like it fell into that category, with it bottom ranking continuously almost from the start. Ultimately if it were so simple to guarantee successful serialization there would never be any axes at all, but the reality is has always been the fate of the vast majority of serialized works to end prematurely.
>>
>>288400220
Well, it's also their job to find new talent and to motivate veterans to come back, following their advice which, again, should be good.
>>288400223
Then it shouldn't be serialized in the first place. Predicting and forecasting the trends and public receptance is quite literally on the editors.
>>
>>288400223
>Sometimes no matter what you try readers will simply reject a work outright
Yeah I feel some rookie works die just from their premise or concept alone. The fluctuation of surveys is the most accurate tool a rookie has to tell if they're going in the right direction, but many times the surveys will be a constant trend downward because readers lost interest from the very first chapter. In those situations, there aren't clear mistakes the rookie could learn from, no tweaks they can make so they could do better next time.
>>
>>288400223
It's not about being successful but letting them grow and improve. It's not fair they don't get help while shits like Kiyoshi and akane get constantly shilled

This is a nonsense attitude. Most series that get put into the magazine fail, and at the end of the day nobody can say for sure whether any serialization will be a success until it is actually in the hands of magazine readers. Sometimes series that seem like they're primed for success bomb, and sometimes series that editorial didn't have as much confidence in wind up surviving. That's the nature of the business.

>>288400466
People said the same things when Nakano was EiC. Ultimately there is no way to guarantee a successful serialization. Editorial can't force their readers to find a series interesting, and they only have so much control over what authors are giving them to work with.

It actually falls in line. Saito wants to shill Shinobi and Kiyoshi, Roboco shills it alongside with TOC and color pages provided by editorial. So Roboco is allowed to live.
I had hopes Sorachi will put it out of its misery, after all, Gintama made namedropping shilling big in the first place, but I don't have such hopes anymore.

> Ultimately there is no way to guarantee a successful serialization.
You barely can 100% guarantee anything, but you still have to aim to pursue that.
What do you think editors do then, if not help their mangaka to make a manga which is accepted better and not kicking out mangaka which cannot follow their advice?

>>
>>288400041
>1. Guide mangaka so they don't write uninteresting slop.
You can't guide a manga to not write something interesting if they aren't capable of doing so. An editor can guide an mangaka and give advice that can lead to improvements in their work, but only if the mangaka knows how to take that advice and turn into something worthwhile.
>2. Guide mangaka so they don't write slop which sells like shit even if it's interesting.
Alien Headbutt is already not interesting so it already fails in that regard. Anyways if an mangaka doesn't know how to use an interesting concept in any interesting way then no amount of guidance could make their own series more interesting if the author is unable to take anything interesting from the editors advice.
3. Guide mangaka so they have marketable elements in their manga (to create merch).
Having marketable elements means nothing if the series itself is not marketable. You can get short term attention from memes and a viral moment or a character, but once people realize that the series that that element comes from is shit, people will stop reading it.
4. Prevent mangaka who won't listen from serialization.
It is the editors job to pick series that could became a successful serialization, but if an mangaka creates slop and doesn't know where to improve, it's their own doing.

You are the one suggesting editors are somehow failing at their jobs when new series get axed, even though it has always been the case in WSJ that most new series don't survive. Even the most successful editors will have managed many more failed series than successful ones throughout their careers. Furthermore, unless you have proof that new series are failing more often now than they have historically you don't even have any basis for your claims. But even if that were true it would still be erroneous to claim the editors are the sole driving force behind the supposed decline.

Series survive or die by chapter 1. Some people here complain about Jump being too axe friendly but it's not Jump's fault people choose to pick something up or not from 1 chapter. And when people already decided not to pick something up it's dead with no point in keeping it alive. Saito has the opposite problem where he just designates survivors that it feels totally unearned and people resent them.

Alien Headbutt I just don't think leaves a strong impression. The alien designs are hit or miss. Pro wrestling and combat sports aren't super popular with modern audiences. Martial Master Asumi already established that. That's another series I don't think necessarily catastrophically screwed up anything but just didn't resonate with anyone. Let's be realistic there was only so far the premise could go anyways. His starting power was basically just super strength and he kick punched. There is a point where it stops actually being wrestling with that tentacle whip shit and knives and flying birds and slingshots. I personally thought it was terrible that the first chapter established a super powerful threat that he almost died to and literally the next chapter we find out they're low end mooks that the next monster effortlessly solos 10 of.

Yes, they do. The edge case of mangaka who somehow doesn't follow editor's advice at all, does as he pleases, then fails, should result in this mangaka never being serialized in WSJ again, but shit like Otr proves it doesn't happen.

Of course it does, Oda hyped wano for years. Wano has a lot of pacing problems and too many characters (I think those were new editors who obviously didn't do their job), only for gotouge to suddenly appear with her own japanese story and brutally mog Wano.
I remember Oda's tense letter and KnY suddenly announcing the ending and being constantly underprinted. Jump pretends it doesn't exist too most of the time

"Decided to stay" is simply not "Better artists are going to other magazines". Especially recently, since he has been with WSM since 2002 as I said. To prove your point you either need someone who went from Shueisha to Kodansha recently or, even better, a rookie who has decided to start elsewhere and got successful there. Veteran mangaka who never worked with WSJ, like Arakawa, Oh!Great, etc. exist, but it has nothing with "recent pull" of WSJ, they decided to work with other magazines long ago. Even something like Frieren actually has old ties with WSS. WSJ is still the most desirable magazine for rookie shonen authors despite all the shit it has.

>>288401141
No you asked for anything post-KGB and now you have to move the goalposts because you forgot contract renewals exist and you forgot authors could go to other magazines once contracts are up. Oh Great stayed with WSM for decades instead of going to jump like Wakui did, it proves any talented artist who isn't a jump idolizing retard won't sign up for Jump just because it used to be prestigious. Talented artists don't waste their time with Jumpshit, even if it COULD promise more fame and money. Nowadays that might not be much of a promise anymore given Jump's dwindling circulation numbers.

"Decided to in the other magazine" or "Did not move to WSJ once their contract is up" is absolutely not "went to other magazine", the only one moving the goalposts is you.
You are basically complaining WSJ did not pull literally every successful manga artist to WSJ, and that take is retarded.
>>
>>288401035
You are delusional if you think the difference between a successful series and a failed one depends entirely on getting good advice from an editor. The biggest reason most series fail is that their basic premise fails to grab and hold the attention of readers. Ultimately authors and editors can work on a concept and polish it as much as possible but there is always a chance it will simply not attract the audience it needs to survive. In some cases authors and editors may end up taking chances on something they think probably won't succeed on the off chance they are wrong, but I doubt that is the case for the majority of serializations.

Samurai 8 just proves my point. The editorial clearly thought that would be a huge success and it imploded catastrophically. As much as people credit the success of Naruto to its original editor that is simply hindsight bias talking.

>>288401338
You are just advocating never taking chances. It's not possible to only put in series that are likely to succeed because at the end of the day nobody can say for certain what will be successful or not. In order to find success in creative industries you have to allow for the possibility of failure.
>>
>>288401141
Oh Great already has a over two decade long relationship WSM and feels comfortable staying there, unlike newbies that are new the industry that haven't gotten a feel of what it's like working the industry and aren't nearly as savvy when it comes to were they choose to serialize there own manga. You're comparison is fundamentally disingenuous.
>>
>>288401295
>You are delusional if you think the difference between a successful series and a failed one depends entirely on getting good advice from an editor
Not entirely and I never said that, but the main responsibility is with the editor. Manga is art, and the artist has their own creative vision. They shouldn't possess marketing or market research skills to perceive and assess what will be popular with the readers. It's literally an editor's job to do that for mangaka and either mangaka doesn't listen or editor gives a shit advice.

Lmfao, yeah that's kind of predatory isn't it. The main reason jump gets anyone these days is because many rookies simply don't know any better. They instantly sign up for one of the worst environments, thrown right into the TOC sales rat race while artists chill in other magazines and still get a bag.

It is entirely possible (and I would wager it is most often what happens) that both author and editor do their best to ensure the success of a series and yet that series still fails. As I have said, most series that appear in the magazine get cancelled in the end. Some have obvious flaws from the start, others take approaches that don't work, although this can often only be said in retrospect. Still, a lot of cancelled series simply fail regardless of any efforts. Again, I think it is a flawed understanding to suggest failure is always a result of something the author or editor did or did not do, or that a series being cancelled could have easily been prevented.
>>
>>288401295

Kinato leaks
> The dance passed down among the Majo, is known as "Maka Rengi" (Demonic Flower Chain Dance). Kinato engages in a fierce sparring session with Karyu.
>As Kinato crouches on the ground, completely exhausted, Karyu hands him a "Maren-gan" (Demon Refining Pill), a traditional medicine of the Majo village. The moment Kinato takes a sip, an incredible surge of energy courses through him, and he resumes his intense training with fierce momentum.
> The scene shifts to Terasu, who is lost in thought in her private room. She feels a strange, tightening sensation in her chest whenever she thinks of Kinato.
> Meanwhile, time is ticking away with the "Gettousai" (Moon Fight Festival) just two weeks away. Sazaku chats with her companion about growing backlash against outsiders staying in the village, as well as the believe to settle things through raw violence. She notes that they must display their power once again at the upcoming Gettousai, an event held only once a decade.
> Later that night, Kinato is outdoors practicing alone, deeply frustrated knowing that even though he understands the concept in his head, he cannot control it at all.
>Suddenly, Terasu appears and offers to guide him directly, saying, "I suppose it can't be helped... Shall I give you further instruction on the Maka Rengi right now?" However, Kinato declines, explaining that he is finally getting into sync with Karyu and Ratna. Hearing this, Terasu looks slightly disappointed.
> As Kinato continues to struggle, Terasu casually remarks that it would be so much easier if he could just do it naturally, like his seitai magic. Hearing this, Kinato has a sudden epiphany.
>He asks Terasu, "Would you mind sparring with me for a moment?" When Terasu unleashes a swift strike, Kinato uses his seitai magic as the core while supplementing it with body reinforcement successfully blocking her attack perfectly.

This just means both were shit or tried not hard enough. Great editor won't pull a hit off shit mangaka (though he shouldn't serialize him). Shit editor won't ruin truly great mangaka (though he might starve them for promotion). It's a tandem, where mangaka tend to be weak on the marketing side of their work.
Out of current shonen mangaka I'd point out only Nishi as a writer, since she's great no matter what editor does she work with.

IF kinato is called back/returns only to find out linae was kidnapped by the skull guy I will admit it's getting axed
Meanwhile Majo tournament seems to be starting so I choose to believe

Kinato obviously survives this batch, there are no signs of U19 which would have been in just 2 chapters. It truly is the second Otr.

Hokazono is a hack and KBG is also a scribble slop, but it's 1000 times more appeling than anything Greg dares to do.

How ? Kinato is genuine and earnest, the arts is good, the designs are good, the side characters are good, (the rival needs a lot of work tho) , the only thing is still missing is the main goal, as of now there is only this weird group who is kidnapping and killing adventurers for some reason
