@ZetaKenju @Shinuki1992 Why would they bother printing an obi for a recommendation if it's over already, it would just be a waste of money lol

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@N0t_Ground_Zero @AzDulazD7 @WSJ_manga eh, he's recommending it because it's by a former assistant of his. Mangaka recommendations don't mean anything unless they work for a different publisher tbh, otherwise it's just a famous mangaka doing his employers a favor and letting them put his name on something new.

@Noah_Sky1 @N0t_Ground_Zero @AzDulazD7 @WSJ_manga Recommendations for volumes 9 and 3 of two series that were successful from the start won't do much (if anything at all) lol

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@hawaiipartwo @WSJ_manga It had some pretty good SoL chapters but now a serious story arc started out of nowhere which may be a Hail Mary given its ToC placements

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@Ramsfan1982 @Crunchyroll Because they're by the same mangaka

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@hawaiipartwo @WSJ_manga It's pretty decent I'd say? Definitely nothing special though.

@AishinDesu @WSJ_manga A ton of axed manga got recs from big name mangaka lol, it doesn't really guarantee anything
All that matters is how well it sells

@jujuman404 @mikeysmisery @MangaMoguraRE Your comment was just wrong man, don't be snarky

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@jujuman404 @MangaMoguraRE > pump out spin off manga & light novels like crazy then move on to the next series to start
also wtf are you talking about lol, spin-off LNs have always been a thing and they're *definitely* won't make more money than just selling more volumes of the main series... (2/2)

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@jujuman404 @MangaMoguraRE That's just false, the big 3 era had a couple of really famous long manga so people felt like it was a large percentage of the manga landscape when WSJ has only ever had 26 series go over 300 chapters (Roboco and Akane will almost certainly make it to 300 too) (1/2)

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@jujuman404 @MangaMoguraRE ❓❓❓❓❓😭😭😭

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@mikeysmisery @MangaMoguraRE FMA:B literally has 64 episodes come out weekly what are you talking about

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@Th3MangaAddict I wonder if that one-shot is related to a WYJ baseball manga called Grand Slam? The WYJ manga came out 8 years later and has a different mangaka so it could just be a coincidence.

@TeeKayNineFour @WSJ_manga It's worth mentioning that his manga after Claymore (Ariadne in the Blue Sky) serialized in Shogakukan magazines (ran for ~5 years in Weekly Shounen Sunday then for ~half a year in Sunday Webry), but yeah he published the J+ one-shot after that ended so it could be him.

@SnofrFu48 @WSJ_manga why would there be a KV, it's a job advertisement, they're purposefully keeping the details hidden

夜神月と同種の闇堕ちヒーロー枠の面構えで、当時雑誌で見かけた時はかなりゾクゾクした覚えが

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@Kazuto_89 @ZeroXOmega @Th3MangaAddict You're probably thinking about M+ (Manga Plus), because the only WSJ series that's on J+ (Jump Plus) is Ruri. Only the first 3 chapters of a WSJ series go on J+.
M+ is a western platform, and thus a series' popularity on it doesn't really matter.

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@ZeroXOmega @Th3MangaAddict It really isn't. Why would it suddenly become a flop with even less eyes on it? J+ isn't WSJ's junkyard.

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@castiolare @Crosssfeng @scara_110 That's just a matter of timing, chapter counts don't matter when it comes to axes, what matters is how many serialization rounds they survived.
