The first step
?
>>2Episode 5
>>4I was able to cut it off!
>>5This series is definitely too short!
>>5Editing by Yume no Kakera-sensei
30
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.
Volumes 5 to 25
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.
When I get to volume 30, I feel like it has been stretched out.
The series was canceled after episode 5 because the author committed a crime or something like that.
Volume 11
Around volume 10 to 20.
Even so, I wanted to read about 10 or 20 more volumes of the thread.
>>14I wish there had been more depth to the characters, and I wanted to see Tanjiro fighting on missions with his friends.
>>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.
>>52If you go that far, you will definitely get bored.
Long-running Jump series often seem to conclude around issues 20-25 and 40-45.
It’s good to end just when you want to read a little more.
I hope it ends in about 20 at most.
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.
>>18It feels just about right to say that.
It depends on the theme and content.
I think it sold so well partly because it’s this short.
>>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.
>>22Isn’t it irrelevant?
>>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.
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.
It is ideal to finish it before it becomes boring, so around 30 volumes at most?
If you can think, “I’ve had enough fun already, I’m good now,” that means your prime has already passed…
Since Fullmetal Alchemist and Zatch Bell ended in their early 30s, that’s the ideal for me, I guess.
It’s my theory that battle and sports manga usually range around 30 to 40 volumes.
Romance and suspense are best within 20 volumes.
I’m happy with around 20, but 30 is perfectly fine too.
Once you go over 50, you can’t really keep up anymore.
A one-shot gag manga is fine whether it’s volume 3 or volume 100.
Around volume 31 of Smudaku and volume 28 of Ken is just about right.
>>32?
>>32I’ll do it.
Is there anyone who thinks it has to exceed 100 volumes?
About 30 at the longest.
Death Note doesn’t feel that short in volume 12.
Yu Yu Hakusho and Feng Shen Yan Yi are just right.
I never thought the thread would conclude with the Infinity Castle arc.
I thought it was around the climax of the middle part.
>>37I really thought there was no way it would end like this, especially since it was at the peak of its popularity…
>>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.
>>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.
>>54I thought this popularity wouldn’t end here and that it would probably restart like in Higanjima.
It’s really over…
>>37It’s quite sudden how we dive into the final dungeon.
I want one spin-off of about 3 to 5 volumes based on the thread image.
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.
The issue of where to place the paperbacks is more serious than I thought.
Even with electronics, that would still be a problem.
I like it even around volume 5.
>>41Stop it because the unused second digit is sad.
>>41It’s a matter of perspective.
The thread image is so decisive that it has left no room for a sequel.
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.
The ideal is somewhere between Dragon Ball and Soubootei.
About volume 35?
If it’s interesting, any volume is fine.
>>47If it becomes uninteresting, it means to cut it off, right?
I’ve been buying mostly one-volume completed works lately.
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…
I also like horror suspense that ends in two volumes.
I don’t feel like reading One Piece even if it ends, with that many volumes.
>>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.
I think it’s ideal to conclude a serialization in about five years, considering the readers’ age.
I think it would be nice if it was reasonably priced.
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.
>>63Dragon Ball continued to get even more exciting after “Just a little bit longer,” so it was the right decision to keep going.
I don’t feel the need to delve into all the characters in the main story.
>>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.
>>64Whether it’s necessary for you or not doesn’t matter.
>>75Am I not even allowed to write how I feel in the thread?
>>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.
I wonder when Conan and One Piece will finally come to an end.
Honestly, I can’t keep up.
>>65Conan can be solved in one incident, so you can read it from anywhere.
>>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.
It depends on the work.
Dungeon Meal felt just right, but that might be quite a特殊なケース, I guess…
>>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.
Please conclude around volume 20 and then continue with another 20 volumes.
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.
End it around volume 15.
Recently, it’s common for sequels to end around that point in young adult magazines, isn’t it?
I hope romance stories end in about 20 volumes…
>>77It gets boring even in volume 8.
>>77I thought that even though it was a romantic comedy, Bonbonzaka High School felt quite ideal, but it was the 12th volume.
But Karakuri Circus is a masterpiece…
I wish the spin-off would explore the characters a bit more since the main story ended so abruptly.
The longer it continues, the better it obviously is.
As long as I’m alive, keep it interesting.
>>81Naruto, Bleach, and Kochikame.
It seems like there were many people who died before the conclusion…
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…
I read through the entire Hakudou Shingeki, but it’s too long, so ideally, it should be within 20 volumes.
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!
>>88The final episode of Hunter will probably never be seen by all of humanity, so don’t worry.
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.
I wonder if there will be more manga like Golgo where new works continue to be released even after the author has passed away.
I hope it ends around volume 15 if it’s a monthly magazine.
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.
Considering the amount to gather, it would be around 20,000 yen for the entire series.
Doing things like “Battle with Ally 3 vs Enemy Executive 3” usually gets boring.
>>95Even so, it feels like a battle where the loser dies, but it doesn’t really lose its excitement.
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.
Yu Yu Hakusho Volume 19, Assassination Classroom Volume 21
I think this is just right.
To be honest, Yu Yu Hakusho was good up until the Dark Tournament.
>>99I want it until Sensui.
The person who is serialized is like, “Huh? My manga is longer than Dragon Ball!?”
I wonder if they think that way.
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.
>>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…
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.
>>104Is it relatively okay to understand things by separating them into parts like in JoJo?
>>105The story itself has almost no connection.
With just 3 volumes, it’s easy to collect since there are only 16 volumes available.
>>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.
It’s easier to recommend to people around 15 or so.
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.
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.
Dragon Ball has fewer pages per episode starting from a certain point, so it has fewer volumes compared to its serialization period.
It was just right for something like Makiba-O to end around volume 12.
>>112Don’t look away from the world chapter.
Did Mashle and Undead Unluck both need to be extended for the anime?
I’m surprised that Yu Yu Hakusho is short.
Both Conan and One Piece are interesting because of this.
I want it to be over…
>>115It’s a relief that I don’t have to read all of Conan.
One Piece is…
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.
>>116No, a side story could be made in the past arc.
Wasn’t Andera suddenly wrapped up towards the end?
I was reading thinking that it had been declared to be cut off early.
If it’s divided by sections like in JoJo, it’s acceptable even if it’s long.
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
There are some that provide a sense of satisfaction in both volumes.
I can only say this is a work of art.
The sequel to that hit work has already been serialized longer than the previous installment.
If a certain series has been running for over 2 years, or about 12 volumes, I start to feel anxious.
It seems like One Piece might end within the next 5 years.
>>127I can’t help but feel that I might still be told that five years from now.
>>127How many years have passed since you said that?
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.
Andera was sprinting at full speed from the very beginning.
Whether One Piece will end or not depends not on the main storyline.
It depends on the other series!
It might be necessary to continue dragging it out because there are idiots who complain about not having a sign.
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.
>>135Are you not expecting anything from the demon man?
>>138It’s interesting, but since they’re doing a lot of other works, I wonder if it’s coming to an end…
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.
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.
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.
It seems that Demon Slayer was a hit before the final volume was released.
If you’re half energetic, then you’re probably more energetic than other magazines…
It looks well-rounded if it finishes around volume 15.
Fullmetal Alchemist was easy to recommend with volume 10.
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.
Miyagawa Ryo’s works are amazing.
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.
>>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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Around 30 is good for a big work.
If it’s a weekly serialization, about 23.
About 10 volumes if it’s a monthly publication.
It doesn’t matter how many volumes it is, as long as the story ends nicely, any number of volumes is fine.
Suddenly stopping the Bond with the Pillar and moving on to the final chapter, huh?
It feels like something suddenly fell into place.
>>158Since it was known that the final battle was approaching, they were practicing the pillar technique, so the order is different.
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.
>>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.
>>159If you’re just going to live a modest life without working, you can manage with about 500,000 yen.
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.
If it gets too long, it will start the tournament arc, the school arc, the internal arc, and the otherworld arc…
>>161I don’t really read manga, but are tournament arcs still a thing?
>>165There is.
It has increased a lot with the Narou webcomic adaptations.
>>161There was a manga that suddenly started its otherworld arc despite not being serialized for long, and it became a toy on the internet.
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.
>>163Yu Yu Hakusho
It probably started out with the idea of getting close to the pillars in each chapter.
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.
Slam Dunk was either about health or burning out.
>>169Wasn’t it supposed to end with the Kanto chapter, but they forced you to write about the whole country instead?
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.
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.
It’s been less than 30 years since the start of the Hunter x Hunter serialization.
If it’s a battle story, then 30 volumes.
For others, around volume 10 is best.
I don’t know if the new series will go well or not.
Many popular authors have faced terrible situations in their next works.
>>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.
That could be condensed into about ten volumes, just like Inuyasha, with the same kind of developments repeating.
There are works that would have been better off ending at that time without a new chapter, right?
Gintama was interesting, but it’s too long for me to feel like rereading it…
For a monthly magazine, around volume 10 is ideal.
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?
It’s funny how Yu-Gi-Oh! often mentions wanting to depict things other than just card games in the afterword of the paperback.
Romantic comedies shouldn’t be something that continues for dozens of volumes.
