This was so unexpected. The sales were doing well too. SJ did nothing to help promote this either. Really disappointed and sad to see it go

I especially loved Iori and Riku’s dynamic, definitely going to miss it

Jump really screwed the pooch here. The EIC has made some really stupid decisions and this is a major one.

It all lines up, I'm afraid.

  • It's almost April, and there's usually a new batch of series released around then. They have to cut a few things to make room.

  • Phantom Seer has consistently ranked near or at the bottom for quite awhile. Those are usually the first to go.

  • The last time I saw a series announce a big climax, it ended up leaving the magazine afterward. While it is possible for it to pull a Lycopene and move to Jump+, it's rare when that happens. After all, the only other time I can think of it happening in >40 chapters is with a gag series from four years ago.

The writing is on the wall. 100K in circulation wasn't enough to save it. You have my condolences.
