Otaku Review Image

23 Shining destiny through the years, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Koyoharu Gotouge, JUMP COMICS

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:11

The first step

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:11

?

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:13

>>2Episode 5

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:15Yeahx28

>>4I was able to cut it off!

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:16Yeahx18

>>5This series is definitely too short!

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:20

>>5Editing by Yume no Kakera-sensei

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:13Yeahx5

30

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:16Yeahx2

I think it’s about 20 volumes.
There are about four long episodes that end with volumes 3 and 4, with everyday episodes or shorter stories in between.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:16

Volumes 5 to 25

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:16

If it’s based on the premise that it was planned from the beginning rather than being abruptly canceled.
I hope it can be gathered in volumes 3 to 5.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:17

When I get to volume 30, I feel like it has been stretched out.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:17Yeahx2

The series was canceled after episode 5 because the author committed a crime or something like that.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:17

Volume 11

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:17Yeahx9

Around volume 10 to 20.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:17

Even so, I wanted to read about 10 or 20 more volumes of the thread.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:19Yeahx6

>>14I wish there had been more depth to the characters, and I wanted to see Tanjiro fighting on missions with his friends.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:29

>>19The lack of a waning moon purification means that it’s just the right length for everyone to fight and be defeated.
It may have lost its popularity.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:31Yeahx3

>>52If you go that far, you will definitely get bored.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:18

Long-running Jump series often seem to conclude around issues 20-25 and 40-45.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:18Yeahx18

It’s good to end just when you want to read a little more.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:18

I hope it ends in about 20 at most.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:18

It’s said that long things are just stretched out, but when it ends at a length like the one in the thread, I find myself wanting to see a little more.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:19Yeahx9

>>18It feels just about right to say that.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:19Yeahx1

It depends on the theme and content.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:20Yeahx9

I think it sold so well partly because it’s this short.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:21

>>22From a commercial perspective, it might be ideal to finish the original work at the timing when the anime is at its peak and gain a boost, then take the time to adapt the final chapter into an anime after the original has concluded.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:48Yeahx2

>>22Isn’t it irrelevant?

139: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:52

>>122It sold because it has this level of brevity and coherence, so I think that might be true… it could be…
Just being short doesn’t mean it’s lacking something to sell.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:20Yeahx1

Around 40.
In the beginning, there are several standalone events, early bosses, and a mid-section that happen sporadically, all culminating in a final boss.
I think I want about 40 mid-length stories.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:20Yeahx1

It is ideal to finish it before it becomes boring, so around 30 volumes at most?

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:20

If you can think, “I’ve had enough fun already, I’m good now,” that means your prime has already passed…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:21

Since Fullmetal Alchemist and Zatch Bell ended in their early 30s, that’s the ideal for me, I guess.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:21

It’s my theory that battle and sports manga usually range around 30 to 40 volumes.
Romance and suspense are best within 20 volumes.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:21

I’m happy with around 20, but 30 is perfectly fine too.
Once you go over 50, you can’t really keep up anymore.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:21

A one-shot gag manga is fine whether it’s volume 3 or volume 100.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:22

Around volume 31 of Smudaku and volume 28 of Ken is just about right.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:27Yeahx3

>>32?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:34Yeahx4

>>32I’ll do it.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:22

Is there anyone who thinks it has to exceed 100 volumes?

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:22

About 30 at the longest.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:22

Death Note doesn’t feel that short in volume 12.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:23Yeahx4

Yu Yu Hakusho and Feng Shen Yan Yi are just right.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:23

I never thought the thread would conclude with the Infinity Castle arc.
I thought it was around the climax of the middle part.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:27

>>37I really thought there was no way it would end like this, especially since it was at the peak of its popularity…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:32Yeahx1

>>50But ending at the peak of popularity is a quite delicious conclusion.
It’s sad when a popular work drags on for too long and ends quietly without being lamented.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:30

>>37Since it’s essentially the final boss’s base, it can be considered the latter part of the game without any issues.
It’s just right that the executives have gathered as well.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:31

>>54I thought this popularity wouldn’t end here and that it would probably restart like in Higanjima.
It’s really over…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:30Yeahx2

>>37It’s quite sudden how we dive into the final dungeon.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:23

I want one spin-off of about 3 to 5 volumes based on the thread image.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:24Yeahx11

According to the story, it can only be said that Masirito used to say that it’s somewhat understandable if a first grader from long ago is still in middle school.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:24Yeahx5

The issue of where to place the paperbacks is more serious than I thought.
Even with electronics, that would still be a problem.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:24

I like it even around volume 5.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:25Yeahx6

>>41Stop it because the unused second digit is sad.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:25Yeahx2

>>41It’s a matter of perspective.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:25

The thread image is so decisive that it has left no room for a sequel.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:25

It might be more about the serialization period than the number of volumes…
After ten years, one’s sense of ethics and values can change.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:26

The ideal is somewhere between Dragon Ball and Soubootei.
About volume 35?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:27

If it’s interesting, any volume is fine.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:28Yeahx1

>>47If it becomes uninteresting, it means to cut it off, right?

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:27

I’ve been buying mostly one-volume completed works lately.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:29Yeahx1

Once it exceeds 40 volumes, I lose the motivation to pursue it, but with 20 volumes, I feel more inclined to read further, so I guess it’s around 30 to 40 volumes…

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:30

I also like horror suspense that ends in two volumes.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:32Yeahx9

I don’t feel like reading One Piece even if it ends, with that many volumes.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:34

>>59It seems popular, but I’ll wait to read it until it’s finished.
→It was completed, but it had over 50 volumes…
There are several hit works.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:32

I think it’s ideal to conclude a serialization in about five years, considering the readers’ age.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:32

I think it would be nice if it was reasonably priced.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:33

Depending on the genre of the magazine or manga, I think it’s common for battle manga like Jump, such as the one in the thread, to have incredibly interesting long stories that can be considered their peak during the 20-volume range.
It is also a difficult question whether it’s better to end at the peak or to continue to some extent after the peak.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:40

>>63Dragon Ball continued to get even more exciting after “Just a little bit longer,” so it was the right decision to keep going.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:33Yeahx2

I don’t feel the need to delve into all the characters in the main story.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:36Yeahx3

>>64I think it’s quite something that World Trigger is desperately delving into characters that are ridiculously unimportant, spending an amount of time that is not even laughable.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:36

>>64Whether it’s necessary for you or not doesn’t matter.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:37

>>75Am I not even allowed to write how I feel in the thread?

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:37

>>64A character that cannot be introduced in the main story of the recent Conan movies.
The way they delve into it in the movie is really well done.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:33

I wonder when Conan and One Piece will finally come to an end.
Honestly, I can’t keep up.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:35Yeahx2

>>65Conan can be solved in one incident, so you can read it from anywhere.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:36

>>65Honestly, I can’t keep up.
One Piece aside, it’s not like Detective Conan always moves the main story forward, so it might be okay to pick some random cases.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:33

It depends on the work.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:34Yeahx2

Dungeon Meal felt just right, but that might be quite a特殊なケース, I guess…

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:46

>>67Were you thinking about the plot until the end?
Even so, it seems that the number of volumes ended up being about double what was expected.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:34

Please conclude around volume 20 and then continue with another 20 volumes.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:35

I thought I would be doing either an exploration of blue spider lilies, dealing with the mastermind doctor, or facing the invasion of foreign demons.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:35Yeahx2

End it around volume 15.
Recently, it’s common for sequels to end around that point in young adult magazines, isn’t it?

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:37Yeahx2

I hope romance stories end in about 20 volumes…

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:37Yeahx3

>>77It gets boring even in volume 8.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:38

>>77I thought that even though it was a romantic comedy, Bonbonzaka High School felt quite ideal, but it was the 12th volume.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:37

But Karakuri Circus is a masterpiece…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:37Yeahx1

I wish the spin-off would explore the characters a bit more since the main story ended so abruptly.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:37

The longer it continues, the better it obviously is.
As long as I’m alive, keep it interesting.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:39

>>81Naruto, Bleach, and Kochikame.
It seems like there were many people who died before the conclusion…

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:39

In the beginning, having the ally executives line up and half of them not have any standout moments by the end is quite bold for Demon Slayer…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:39

I read through the entire Hakudou Shingeki, but it’s too long, so ideally, it should be within 20 volumes.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:39Yeahx3

I’m not at an age where I would suddenly die unless it’s an unexpected accident, but for some reason, I have this vague anxiety that I might die before I see the final episodes of One Piece and Hunter!

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:40Yeahx5

>>88The final episode of Hunter will probably never be seen by all of humanity, so don’t worry.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:39Yeahx1

I thought old mangas used to run for a long time, but now that I look at them, the number of volumes isn’t that much…
I guess it’s because I read it during my childhood when a year felt long.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:39

I wonder if there will be more manga like Golgo where new works continue to be released even after the author has passed away.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:39

I hope it ends around volume 15 if it’s a monthly magazine.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:39

Gag manga can continue endlessly as long as the author doesn’t give up, but looking at “Mote King,” it seems good to have it wrapped up in about 10 volumes.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:40

Considering the amount to gather, it would be around 20,000 yen for the entire series.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:40

Doing things like “Battle with Ally 3 vs Enemy Executive 3” usually gets boring.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:43

>>95Even so, it feels like a battle where the loser dies, but it doesn’t really lose its excitement.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:40Yeahx1

The genre that is most likely to lose its appeal is probably romantic comedy.
No matter how you do it, there are limits to what you can achieve.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:40

Yu Yu Hakusho Volume 19, Assassination Classroom Volume 21
I think this is just right.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:42Yeahx1

To be honest, Yu Yu Hakusho was good up until the Dark Tournament.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:43Yeahx1

>>99I want it until Sensui.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:43

The person who is serialized is like, “Huh? My manga is longer than Dragon Ball!?”
I wonder if they think that way.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:43

Recently, even in Mashle and Undead Unluck from volumes 20 to 30, the latter part was dragged out and slow, so just looking at the number of volumes doesn’t matter.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:45

>>103That’s the downside of a high-tempo development where you can’t take your time in the early stages, or else the readers will get bored…

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:44

It’s hard to understand since it became a monthly publication, but the ideal would be about the number of volumes for each part of JoJo.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:45

>>104Is it relatively okay to understand things by separating them into parts like in JoJo?

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:48

>>105The story itself has almost no connection.
With just 3 volumes, it’s easy to collect since there are only 16 volumes available.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:49

>>105I don’t think it’s unreasonable at all if we base it on “I don’t feel like reading it later.”
In the first place, it’s not easy to know how many volumes and parts there are, and even if you do understand, it doesn’t mean that it can be read in 60 or 70 volumes just because it’s structured in such a way.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:45

It’s easier to recommend to people around 15 or so.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:45

I feel that the first part of Chainsaw Man had a quite ideal amount of content.
I’ll pretend the second part doesn’t exist.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:46

Maybe as long as Bleach or NARUTO…
When it comes to “Kochikame” and “One Piece,” finding a place to store them becomes quite a challenge.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:46

Dragon Ball has fewer pages per episode starting from a certain point, so it has fewer volumes compared to its serialization period.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:46

It was just right for something like Makiba-O to end around volume 12.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:48Yeahx3

>>112Don’t look away from the world chapter.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:46

Did Mashle and Undead Unluck both need to be extended for the anime?

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:47Yeahx1

I’m surprised that Yu Yu Hakusho is short.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:47

Both Conan and One Piece are interesting because of this.
I want it to be over…

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:48

>>115It’s a relief that I don’t have to read all of Conan.
One Piece is…

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:47

I thought that with the birth of the demon king, there would be a change of the final boss and we would move on to part two.
On the contrary, I was surprised that they meticulously stated that a sequel or spin-off is impossible.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:53

>>116No, a side story could be made in the past arc.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:47

Wasn’t Andera suddenly wrapped up towards the end?
I was reading thinking that it had been declared to be cut off early.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:47

If it’s divided by sections like in JoJo, it’s acceptable even if it’s long.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:48

Golgo 13 Volume 216
KochiKame Volume 201
The King of Minami, Volume 182
Cooking Papa Volume 172
Initial Step Volume 143
Edo-mae no Shun Volume 128
Onihei Hankachō Volume 124
Tenpai Volume 116
Fishing Fool’s Diary Volume 115
Hōrōkun Vol. 112

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:48Yeahx2

There are some that provide a sense of satisfaction in both volumes.
I can only say this is a work of art.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:49

The sequel to that hit work has already been serialized longer than the previous installment.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:49

If a certain series has been running for over 2 years, or about 12 volumes, I start to feel anxious.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:49

It seems like One Piece might end within the next 5 years.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:50Yeahx8

>>127I can’t help but feel that I might still be told that five years from now.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:50Yeahx1

>>127How many years have passed since you said that?

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:49

In the end, it’s about how it will be perceived in the final stages.
Rising Impact is treated as if it has been canceled.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:50

Andera was sprinting at full speed from the very beginning.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:51Yeahx3

Whether One Piece will end or not depends not on the main storyline.
It depends on the other series!

134: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:51

It might be necessary to continue dragging it out because there are idiots who complain about not having a sign.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:51Yeahx3

At this point, I’m almost buying Jump just for One Piece.
I will probably stop buying Jump after One Piece ends.
I think about half of the current series has ended.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:52

>>135Are you not expecting anything from the demon man?

154: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:57Yeahx1

>>138It’s interesting, but since they’re doing a lot of other works, I wonder if it’s coming to an end…

136: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:51

Since Oda-kun is reluctant to predict the final chapter and is trying to crush the speculation, this time it will probably really come to an end.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:52

If you’re going to buy it casually, I’d like it to be within 15 volumes, and I hope it doesn’t exceed 30 volumes even for a long series.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:52

In JoJo, there are parts that are not neatly divided into volumes.
At the end of the volume after part 2, there’s often a preview of the beginning of part 3.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:53

It seems that Demon Slayer was a hit before the final volume was released.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:53

If you’re half energetic, then you’re probably more energetic than other magazines…

144: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:53

It looks well-rounded if it finishes around volume 15.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:53

Fullmetal Alchemist was easy to recommend with volume 10.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:54

At least the thread image probably didn’t receive attention just because it’s short.
Rather, I think there are many aspects that are lacking in depth proportional to the number of main characters, and that more should have been done.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:54

Miyagawa Ryo’s works are amazing.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:54

Personally, I think around 20 volumes is ideal, but considering the popularity, it seems that 40 volumes, while not excessively long, strikes a balance between the lifespan of the work and its level of completion (like Dragon Ball or My Hero Academia).
The 70 volumes of BLEACH and Gintama are indeed too long.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:55Yeahx1

>>148I feel that Gintama was better when it was doing gags, but it seems to have become mostly serious long arcs, which has made it feel tiresome.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:54Yeahx1

In the first place, despite its popularity in Jump’s main magazine, Demon Slayer was in a distorted state where the manga volumes weren’t selling well.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:54Yeahx2

Adventure stories and sci-fi are good, especially if they’re about professional sports or have a long ending.
If student sports take too long, it starts to feel like these guys are still students.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:56

The ideal is probably that 80% fullness that makes you want to read just a little more!
The media development after it’s over will likely be more sustainable that way.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:56

The first time I saw Kochikame was during the Ironman race, but one way or another, that kind of format is easy to get into.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:57

Around 30 is good for a big work.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:57

If it’s a weekly serialization, about 23.
About 10 volumes if it’s a monthly publication.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:57Yeahx1

It doesn’t matter how many volumes it is, as long as the story ends nicely, any number of volumes is fine.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:57

Suddenly stopping the Bond with the Pillar and moving on to the final chapter, huh?
It feels like something suddenly fell into place.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:59

>>158Since it was known that the final battle was approaching, they were practicing the pillar technique, so the order is different.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:58

I think the writer wants to keep going as long as they can because their livelihood depends on it.
I wonder how many books need to be sold for me to live a leisurely life until I die.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:59

>>159If it ends up being a small to medium hit when adapted into an anime, I’ll create a new series.
If it becomes a big hit, they probably have some guidelines since they stop the serialization.

171: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:00

>>159If you’re just going to live a modest life without working, you can manage with about 500,000 yen.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:58

If it’s a blockbuster that concludes in 10 years, then I can keep up with it.
It’s easy to drop out after doing it for 20 or 30 years.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:58

If it gets too long, it will start the tournament arc, the school arc, the internal arc, and the otherworld arc…

165: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:59

>>161I don’t really read manga, but are tournament arcs still a thing?

176: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:01Yeahx1

>>165There is.
It has increased a lot with the Narou webcomic adaptations.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:01

>>161There was a manga that suddenly started its otherworld arc despite not being serialized for long, and it became a toy on the internet.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:59

I’ve heard that Yu-Gi-Oh was also tough, so there might be examples where a series is completed considering the author’s health.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)14:59

>>163Yu Yu Hakusho

167: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:00

It probably started out with the idea of getting close to the pillars in each chapter.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:00

When One Piece finally concludes and the mysteries that have been teased for so long are revealed, it really feels like the early parts become a farce, making it seem like new fans won’t come in.
There are already enough customers, so it probably doesn’t matter.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:00

Slam Dunk was either about health or burning out.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:01

>>169Wasn’t it supposed to end with the Kanto chapter, but they forced you to write about the whole country instead?

170: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:00

When I read the new issue of My Hero Academia that was at home, I thought it was around the time One Piece entered the New World, but then I found myself in Dressrosa and my brain nearly bugged out.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:00Yeahx5

Unless it’s a standalone story, it makes you wonder if the writers are bad at creating plots when they keep telling the same story for decades.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:00

It’s been less than 30 years since the start of the Hunter x Hunter serialization.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:01

If it’s a battle story, then 30 volumes.
For others, around volume 10 is best.

179: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:01

I don’t know if the new series will go well or not.
Many popular authors have faced terrible situations in their next works.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:03

>>179The next installment of Naruto left a bad impression.
I think it was the right decision for business to promptly end it and make a sequel to Naruto.

181: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:02

That could be condensed into about ten volumes, just like Inuyasha, with the same kind of developments repeating.

182: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:02Yeahx2

There are works that would have been better off ending at that time without a new chapter, right?

183: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:02

Gintama was interesting, but it’s too long for me to feel like rereading it…

184: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:02

For a monthly magazine, around volume 10 is ideal.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:03

I haven’t seen the internal chapter recently.
I’ve seen things like marine fish or cells at work that are already inside the body since the beginning, but…
Why are Doraemon, Dragon Ball, Takeshi, and Gintama all doing internal arcs?

187: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:03

It’s funny how Yu-Gi-Oh! often mentions wanting to depict things other than just card games in the afterword of the paperback.

188: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/25(日)15:03

Romantic comedies shouldn’t be something that continues for dozens of volumes.
