Japanese serialization of Hiroyuki Takei's Shaman King in Shonen Jump has been abruptly halted and publication the final volume (volume 32) of the manga, originally scheduled for December 3rd, has been delayed indefinitely by the publisher. Shueisha is reported to having stated that they will publish the 32nd volume of the series if they receive evidence of demand from approximately 50,000 people.
A discuss of The toipc by me.
"50,000 units should be a piece of cake for a hit shonen series to sell, so that indicates that Shaman King must have really fallen out of favor in Japan."
"Seriously whats the point in delayin the LAST volume, might as well just print it, that's just being troublesome to the fans of the series"
"http://world.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcherrysoul.easter.ne.jp%2Fforever.htm&lp=ja_en Anyone"
"That hardly helps at all."
"The only reason I could imagine Shaman King not doing well is if the focus went back to Manta, because he's like the Jar Jar of the series, and drama just doesn't work well with him, as you can see in the most recent American Jump"
"I wouldn't say Manta is the Jar Jar of the series... I like it better for having him in it. If he wasn't present, it'd be just another kids with superpowers battling for stuff comic. With him in it, it's unusual, because it's kids with powers as seen and felt through the eyes of a powerless kid... which is interesting because it doesn't force the unusual as the norm in the world of Shaman King.
On the other hand... I think that Hiroyuki Takei must have done something to annoy his editors, because there is no reason that something of at least that amount of fame wouldn't have just the last volume printed. I also feel bad for Mr. Takei, as he has a family to support and has always been one of my favorite people in the Manga world...
I'm going to write in my support. If you can, please do so as well"
"Yea I have to agree.
He's like us in a way, he doesn't have any real super power, he freak out when something abnormal happen. Basically, without him and his innocense, it'll be just anotehr super hero unrealistic bs beating the crap out of each other. Would the comic be better without him? Probably not."
(this was discussin that me, and some friends had.)
