Each of these five failed series got a vocal cult following on the week they launched. People across social media assumed they were guaranteed to be the next big thing, based on nothing but first impressions and personal headcanon. Of course that isn't how any of them turned out, and even to this day many of those cult fans can't accept the outcome. Not all that different from what would later happen to 'Star Wars: The Acolyte'. They remain as cautionary tales about what happens when you count your chickens before they hatch.

Titles focused on painters, paintings, illustration, illustrators, and various types of drawings from various types of artists.

So just so we're on the same page, I only add stuff here I actually read and enjoyed, otherwise the list would be muuuuch longer)

My lowest score is around 6, most highest rated are in my top-10.
Hope you enjoy the list.

Manga that discusses / examines creative endeavors, either literally or metaphorically (heavy focus on the characters' relationship to art rather than the art itself). Some rec'd by friends / other MAL users and may not reflect the taste of the creator of this stack.

Weekly Shonen jump… a magazine that has been around for decades and has produced gems such as Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Death Note and so on. However, while the magazine has produced many beloved series there have been many that have not received the same treatment. This list will cover all of the weekly Shonen jump series that have gone undepreciated if and if not deserved, and ultimately were axed from the magazine. (Still working on list)

Here the mangas that have been canceled from 2015 onwards will be listed
the only rules are to have been canceled after 2015 onwards and to have more than 1000 members in MAL

Includes all recent mangas cancelled in the Weekly Shonen jump. Does not include on hiatus Mangas, cancelled mangas for ethical reasons (Act age), and transferred series.
I define a cancelled series as any manga ending due to low popularity early in its serialization. Since the list can only be by 50 the list spans from 2018 to 2023.


Although these mangas have been cancelled for lack of an audience or supporter by the Weekly Shonen Jump, this doesn't mean they aren't valuable. Some of these contain incredibly interresting premises, the first work of a soon-to-be big author or simply a fun read. The mangakas that published those works put a lot of energy and love into them; for that alone they deserve respect.
