Not bad at all but man, it reeks of being finished in a couple weeks max. Too bad the story isn't really being able to breathe itself out a little bit, but for what it is, at least it ain't awful for a rushed manga.

This seriously started growing on me! I love the development but I keep seeing talk about it being axed and I can see that it is rushed towards it's end even tho there is a lot of potential for more steady development. Can anyone tell me what is happening? Did it get cancelled or is it just supposed to be a short one from the start?

The japanese kind of boicot these manga, they didn't like the whole plagiarism theme of the story, they hated it. Now add 2 weeks in a row at the least of bottom 5, it's already cancelled for what we can see.

japan reception has been infamously poor. it only has 2.5 rate in japanese amazon. the sales aren't great, and placed in the bottom of magazine. we still don't know for sure, but the chance to survive are very slim. well, if next week still in the bottom of magazine, it's doomed for sure.

So axed it is, huh... that's a loss. It had so much potential, too bad readers want your typical cliche battle shounens instead. RIP, here comes the third work of this artist getting cancelled.

I know it's pure speculation, but it's definitely last chapters we're reading right now and all the rushing finally makes sense.

That's sad, man. But now that act-age is also cancelled, maybe they will give this a few extra weeks to make a proper final instead of rushing it straight away. I'm trying to be optimistic lol

I see, thanks for clarifying. This really sucks tho, the manga has so much potential and I actually think the story is quite interesting. I was looking for something like this for a long time and even though it started slow I think it was really good. I guess we can hope for a descent ending and they manag to pull it through.

*sigh* seeing all the negative comments on Amazon jp regarding this is heartbreaking, I hope that the Mangaka just doesn't feel discouraged because I love this Manga

It's been insanely fast paced since volume 2 because of the low rating in japan and not because that's how he wants it to be

It's getting axed but I hope that the mangaka can return with something as good in the future

What the point of "without anime" part? No manga has anime by its second volume. And no manga will have an anime if it gets cancelled at the very beggining.

Wow, I didn't imagine this situation that bad. like sales were poor but Guardian of the Witch had much worse sales and still got 3 volumes.

@FireFistYK Could you tell me what those comments are saying?

He told you, he is "necessary character in another author story". So basically personification of Date Tsunehiro and/or Ichima Kenji.

Mainly about how bad the MC is because of plagiarism and how he is a horrible human being for continuing to release white knight because it's his "duty"

Basically they're not even trying to see the bigger picture of a flawed character and his motivation

Plagiarism is a much bigger thing in Japan then over here in the west, best example would be the unfortunate Kyoto Animation incident.

So people reacted very negatively towards the MC

Hero academia had anime in production before even first volume hit the shelves.

every cancellation decision taken weeks before it actually happened. they have to prepare replace for the slot, and it takes time. not to mention promotion had to take for new series. if it's done, then it's done. i don't think act-age scandal would matter for it. still, act age scandal definitely give one slot empty WSJ editorial has to think about. priobably will be filled with one shot for forseable future at least until the current upcoming bacth finished.

I really wanna know who that robot is also waiting to see what option 3 is. I thought he'd want to leap further back in time like in his childhood or something and start redoing things from there but doesn't seem like it.

So many questions I wanna ask but feels like this manga gonna end without answering any of them since this is most likely getting canceled and ending soon.
