There’s no way.
If anything, there are even people who have committed suicide.
>>1Why do you have to die…?
What are you doing in the end?
I only know about The Queen of Blood and Ash and Haniwat, but both have revived enough to make it worthwhile to give it a try.
>>3Blood and Ash will be completed in a total of 25 volumes, having finished everything from there.
If you don’t buy the paperback, it’ll be canceled! I’ve never seen a success with that kind of thing.
>>4I thought I’d go see the web broadcast, thinking out of pity, but…
(Wow… no wonder it’s getting canceled…)
It’s just like that.
>>4The ones watching that are probably the ones who buy the volumes.
There are probably many that are buried simply due to lack of promotion, so it must be effective.
If the manga I’m following is in danger of being canceled and I’m told to buy it, I would buy it, but those kinds of manga are selling well enough without needing that, so I’m not sure if this kind of thing is effective.
I wondered what happened to the image, so I looked it up and found out it was just canceled in volume 3…
>>7Sad…
It’s a desperate measure that seems like it can only be used once in a mangaka’s life.
It is unpleasant and would mean throwing away charisma into the gutter for eternity.
>>10I understand that you might cast aside pride and reputation for the last chance… but…
If you do this, your credibility and reputation as a manga artist will be completely ruined, and it’s something that can’t be taken back. Everyone seems to not understand that…
>>10In other words, it just ends up being remembered as “this guy’s manga is boring…”
I honestly had given up on wanting to read more of Haniwat, but…
I’m really surprised at how energetic I’ve become with things like reading plays and making suits for live-action special effects PVs.
Isn’t it good to promote that you’re serializing regularly?
It feels like it’s just disappointing to be cut off right at the end…
I’ve probably said this many times, but please just consider this request manga.
I think that realizing something is boring often has the opposite effect.
There are even popular mangas that I completely trashed myself, yet the next day after their release, a reprint was decided.
Are there any examples of success that have been revived?
If you’re unsure which volume to buy, should you just buy volume 3?
People who don’t have to do this seem to consistently post one-page comics in the main story.
>>20Having a self-publishing site allows for things like this and getting permission to publish names.
Places like Piccoma and LINE Manga cannot use the images from the main story for promotion, even for the authors.
I was surprised when the editor told me that.
>>20I have a prejudice that people who are good at manga are also good at presentation.
I wonder what happens with e-books.
Didn’t ninjas and yakuza do this too?
>>23I don’t think it was shown in the manga.
It was really terrible until the motorcycle gang god appeared, and I think I used to say that it still feels like being on the edge of the ring.
It’s been 8 years since it was said that “The Queen of Blood and Ashes” might end with volume 3 because the tankobon wasn’t selling well, and now it’s finally completed…
>>24I have all the volumes and I was really supporting it because I love the manga, but to be honest, I think it’s pretty rough at the point of the third volume.
Isn’t it good if PR manga has characters in the story having fun and promoting the manga volumes?
Who would buy it if a manga author I don’t know asks me to buy their work?
What they were saying was to buy it with paper, which was a normal life for Ume and Momo.
I have gained enough readers to stabilize.
I want to know the fate of the person who said “I’m giving out Amazon cards!”
Does anyone remember the title?
The Queen of Blood and Ash will be canceled if it doesn’t sell 1,000 more copies! I’m glad it survived as a result of that appeal.
If I didn’t do it, I would definitely have died.
The PR from the editing team at that time was just too terrible…
From a state of “I like it, but not enough to buy…”
Seriously, I have to cheer you on.
Don’t try to use cancellation as a threat to make us spend money… Whether it happens or not depends on the uniqueness of the work.
It’s impossible if there are similar substitutes.
The gorilla thing was like… yeah.
Write a series on the support site.
Plum and peach clearly show that the author thinks this is going to be a problem.
Sales have nearly doubled, and the merchandise expansion has become amazing.
I’m really glad for you.
>>33I thought it was a popular work that would be seen in threads here, but such a past…
Were you already begging for help, saying that you couldn’t take it anymore with the Queen of Blood and Ash and the mermaid sisters?
The author accepted the cancellation without complaint, but the fans sent in a lot of letters, and Rising Impact made a comeback.
>>36It wasn’t an era where people could casually share their thoughts.
Even if it were now, it feels like they probably wouldn’t do it.
If it’s just a lack of promotion, it really can be effective.
I’ve come to think recently that it’s better to do it than not do it.
>>37In everyday life, even if you do this, you’ll be told to go die and be abandoned.
>>38No matter what you do, those who won’t buy are not welcomed from the start.
It is important to reach the people who will properly buy our products due to insufficient advertising.
That is a completely different matter from quality.
I started reading Haniwat because of this campaign, so it’s not well-known, but I’d love for it to be promoted as an interesting work.
There isn’t really a rush of demand like there is for manga, basically.
So when they felt a sense of crisis, they engaged in lobby activities and increased their followers by tens of thousands, but in the end, it didn’t really translate to purchases.
It’s probably already too late the moment you move recklessly.
It’s definitely a strong point for the continuity of the topic to be able to consistently engage in lobbying from the time the series starts, although it’s really tough.
I think it would be better to appeal by showing interesting things rather than doing this kind of dogeza.
>>41That said, if it were possible to immediately stimulate purchasing desire with a concise appeal, it wouldn’t have turned out this way.
I think it’s definitely better to stop, because you’re just branding it as a manga that doesn’t sell yourself.
>>44Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Sometimes the editing is bad! There are those who go down the path of resentment like “That guy killed my child!” and end up banned from the industry.
Even if you appeal to the weak, I’m still buying it… that’s all it is.
>>47It would be better than being silenced to this extent.
I haven’t bought this, have I?
Most of the time, only boring things get spread around.
>>48I think it’s a huge downside that it doesn’t even seem like they put any effort into drawing it in the thread image.
It’s better not to make requests with a casual attitude.
You should just advertise normally…
The Queen of Blood and Ashes continued well from there…
If it’s going to be canceled, wouldn’t it be better to cut it and restart with a new series?
It seems easier than recovering from being unsold.
The Shadow House, which was also made into an anime, is not this kind of advertisement though.
It was said that they managed to keep it going with a free release just before it was about to be canceled.
There are many things that are not known.
“Draw something like this, and if you come up with an idea that won’t get canceled, I’ll give you a 1000 yen Amazon gift card!”
As a result of beggars gathering and throwing around Amazon gift cards, there is a work called “Hachibitto Kanojo” that was successfully discontinued.
It’s so boring that you’ll be impressed, so I definitely want you to read it.
>>54Isn’t that a different genre after all…?
The esper has come, hasn’t it?
The design of the Haniwa and the slow development made it seem impossible, but it’s impressive that it was able to come back.
I don’t know what worked, but it’s necessary to struggle.
The confession that having over 30,000 new followers meant nothing at all.
I even want to say thank you to blood and ash for struggling instead.
Success stories are talked about as success stories.
It’s probably just that no one remembers the failures.
I have no motivation to read manga that seems likely to be ended from the reader’s perspective.
If you can’t promote the good points of your own work, it’s understandable that the series won’t continue.
>>62It gets interesting from here! I’ve seen that too.
Are you asking me to pay for something boring???
It’s better than not doing it, but the weird buzz caused by fellow authors spreading it might leave negative effects later on.
This is barely acceptable.
It’s really frustrating that they appeal to buy it on paper instead of as an e-book!
In other words, it’s definitely worth doing, and those saying “this is pointless” are just lacking insight.
>>66If you want to reinterpret it as “It’s better than not doing it (if it’s interesting, there’s a possibility, and if it’s boring, you’ll die anyway),” then that’s fine.
>>66It’s not just a matter of doing it; there’s a way to do it.
I can’t bring myself to read it after seeing the thread image.
>>66In the end, a lack of awareness accounts for the majority, so just going viral on social media can still be expected to have a significant effect.
>>66I think it’s not something you can just do for the time being, and if you’re not careful, it could lead to even more negative consequences, making it a risky action.
>>85No, it won’t go negative…
At this point, since this is being done, it feels like a de facto death sentence, so it’s hard to imagine it could get worse than the current situation.
>>94It’s just that you want to think that way.
>>94I think it’s definitely a negative to have the evaluation that “Isn’t that the person who did that boring thing?” when I release my next work.
>>102I don’t know a single writer who has such a rating to begin with.
I have seen this kind of manga about pleas for prolonging life many times, but I don’t remember the name.
It’s hard to imagine a situation where, after reading a funny manga one day, you’d think, “But this guy did something like this before…”
>>203Isn’t it unnecessary to go out of your way to advertise your lack of memory?
>>94If it’s an unknown manga, the only impression left is that it had that boring promotional method, so it’s a minus.
>>66Just someone who just wants to nitpick.
I think it’s better to try than to give up without doing anything when there are already successful examples.
The Queen of Blood and Ashes probably won because it specified a concrete number of 1,000 copies.
Can I manage 1000 books?
The Queen of Blood and Ashes was originally a result of the crazy promotion by the underground company…
>>69I don’t remember the details at all, but I do have the memory that it was really terrible…
Worrying about one’s appearance or image is a privilege of those who have built up a certain level of status.
There’s no guarantee that the next opportunity will come, so just go for it.
If I had spilled the inside story of the other world series, the terrible person in charge would have left, and it would have become popular.
Even if this leads to a reprint, if the manga isn’t interesting, it will end up being the same thing again…
If there are a lot of people who don’t intend to buy the paperback but also dislike the end of the series, it seems.
First of all, I think we need to show the attitude of making all episodes free at least so that people will read it!
When I see this kind of begging for mercy, I think, “Well, maybe I’ll read it,” but then I find out the episodes after the third one are paid, and I can’t help but think, are you really underestimating me?!
>>80As expected, it’s impossible to do that just based on the author’s intentions alone.
I want promotional comics to be drawn more seriously.
For now, it makes sense when combined with free release.
Furthermore, those who are pulling gacha right after begging for their lives are already…
The concern is rather that it may have a negative effect on the decline in popularity.
If successful examples are common and you realize they’re surprisingly minor, I think it might be worth taking a chance.
Anonymous enjoys hitting drowning dogs with a stick, doesn’t he?
It is merely one form of marketing.
When it comes to whether or not to do marketing, it should definitely be done.
It can be said that it is just one of the methods to be taken if marketing should be done by any means.
Patterns like The Queen of Blood and Ashes or Caramelize are just exceptions.
Those who are using social media to post on the web are in a completely different situation.
It means that if the readers aren’t hooked by volume 3, it’s a failure, right?
>>90I think it’s reasonable as a trial period, separate from the author issuing an SOS.
It’s severe.
>>92It feels like volumes 1 and 2 are just a hook, so it’s understandable if they don’t sell well.
>>112Most works that have the best hook are here, so if you can’t get a grip on it here, it will likely be judged as impossible.
Most manga tend to have higher sales by the third volume than by the tenth volume.
If the style has a lot of deep fans, they might engage in promotional activities.
If the third volume is out and it’s not selling well, then it can’t be helped.
Rather, you’ve let me continue well.
NEETs don’t understand the feelings of people who buy comic book volumes.
I’ve said it many times, but if you’re going to ask, you should draw it seriously at the level of the main story.
If you just joke around like in the thread image, it will just end up as self-deprecating humor.
There’s no way.
I’m too messy; it’s better to just die.
I originally read this manga on an app and bought it because I wanted to see the continuation, but I feel like when the author’s handwriting is bad in cases like this, it usually has the opposite effect.
The Queen of Blood and Ash has been well received by many, but the paperback isn’t selling well. I was informed by my editor that if the first volume doesn’t sell an additional 1,000 copies by one month before the release of the third volume in November, it will probably be discontinued. If anyone is considering a purchase or has been putting it off, I would greatly appreciate it if you could buy it within the month! You can find it at bookstores all over the country, and you can also purchase it by tapping on the image above. Tap 5
>>98Since there were many people who were already reading it from the start, there was a proper foundation for a revival through promotion.
When I went to take a look, there were many things that made me go “hm…”
Is it the reader’s fault from the author’s perspective when they show something like this?
Certainly, there are many readers, but if books are not selling, there might be a chance…
Considering the probability of a small publisher being able to release a standalone book with a new serialization and how many years it would take to get there, it seems better to try even if it means facing embarrassment.
Personally, I think it’s a bit much if it happens multiple times in each series.
For now, I think it might be good to read it if there is a portion that is publicly available.
It might be better to be known for bad reputation, but it depends on the extent or could simply be a matter of results.
>>106It’s an after-the-fact reasoning for when someone succeeds.
If this will bring me back to life, I should do it as much as possible.
A person who aimed to be a manga artist in the past but couldn’t make their debut seems to hate it like poison.
>>109There’s so little relevance that I can’t understand what you’re saying.
>>109Delusion is your refuge.
>>109Even when active, it’s a method that people who dislike it will continue to dislike.
It’s free to do it, and it’s also free to think that we should compete through our work.
>>121There isn’t a single manga that is competing solely on the quality of the work.
The desire to be featured in well-known magazines stems from the expectation of advertising power.
The Queen of Blood and Ash, it was so interesting, but it seemed it was about to be canceled…
The app was doing a terrifying thing by mysteriously becoming poisonous and not advertising to the outside at all.
>>115Why would you do something like that?
In the end, struggling itself is somewhat important.
The result of struggling is the cruel reality that what is expressed is whether the manga is truly interesting or boring.
>>117Since there are social media, doing everything we can is probably fine, right?
The fact that the quality of the work and the lack of promotion are completely separate issues is a cruel reality, but it’s alright, isn’t it?
There are quite a few cases where only the first volume is available for free, but if it doesn’t end in a way that makes you curious about the continuation, it’s easy to think “Oh well…”
I would rather have them draw nipples as a bonus for the paperback than draw something like this.
Whether you are a manga artist or simply aspiring to be one, when you are reading manga, aren’t you just an ordinary reader?
I don’t recall any promotional comics like this, but I have a anxious memory that the Common Person Mask was going to be made to order and could be discontinued.
If you’re being remembered, that’s already a plus.
>>124You want to convince yourself, don’t you?
>>124Since there is a precedent of recovery, it’s better to do it than not to do it.
How the readers actually felt about the work after reading it is a separate issue.
The appeal is subjective, and since it’s unclear who it will resonate with, one cannot definitively say that efforts to gain widespread recognition are all in vain.
I absolutely won’t buy it, and people who say they won’t buy it because of this kind of approach weren’t buying it in the first place, so it doesn’t negatively impact anything.
To raise awareness even a little, it is better to do something than nothing, and there are advertising methods that are preferable to not doing anything at all.
What is needed for a V-shaped recovery just before cancellation is not the author’s humble plea manga, but rather
It’s clear that going viral with all episodes being free is the way to go.
There’s someone getting angry.
Is it because you hate the promotion of buying manga since it seems like it might get canceled?
People who think negatively about this are not customers to begin with, so there’s no need to consider them.
I’m curious how many out of the 30,000 followers purchased it.
Even if it’s interesting to do, it would be tough if it’s just not well-known due to lack of promotion or something like that.
The author said that it was so close to ending that if Ume and Momo didn’t get a reprint, it would be over.
I have survived well and entered a stable period…
Well, there are some cases where people have survived by doing this, so it’s definitely better to act than to sit idly and wait to die.
Do you have any questions or concerns?
>>135It’s pathetic, so just die gracefully.
I don’t really like this kind of thing, and I think the success rate is low.
Among the few success stories, there is blood and ashes, so I can no longer say anything.
How many comic books does the anonymous person who says their impression is negative buy each month?
>>137I’m curious about what kind of person would have a negative impression that is understandable.
>>160I think it’s foolish when someone who only buys about 100 books a year speaks as if they know everything.
These days, with so many serialized works, just relying on a toothpick will really just get you killed, you know?
I wouldn’t say it’s the best option, but I truly believe it’s better than doing nothing.
I remember that even when the thread for “Queen of Blood and Ash” and “Fall of Heaven Operation” was created, it didn’t get read…
If you think that if you don’t do it, it will just be dropped as it is, then it’s worth doing.
They say there’s a possibility of it becoming negative, but when you weigh it against the benefits when it turns positive, that negative is like trash.
If you’re the type of person who thinks, “Since it might go negative, maybe I should just stop…” then you might not be cut out to be a writer.
There are more patterns where the request was effective than I expected… that’s a good thing…
The Queen of Blood and Ashes has a terrible editing team at Manga One to begin with.
They hardly promote it, yet the decision to cancel is surprisingly quick.
If you’re going to do it, I can only say to make a request that makes me want to read it.
>>147Ideally, it’s a cruel request since it’s work related to editing or publishing.
In fact, the media should be ashamed of the reality that there are many examples of recovery with this.
The premise that there is nothing to lose by taking on a challenge is fundamentally flawed.
If you fail the doubt challenge, you will get the mountain.
>>148It seems I’m trying to say something fancy and failing.
>>153If you say something that is symmetrical, rhythmic, or rhyming, you might feel like you’ve said something smart, but how long will such a fool keep doing that? Idiot, die.
I’m enjoying reading it, but since I can read it for free, I might not buy it… there are some people who might still purchase it.
Manga like this is usually done very carelessly, and that’s really not good.
I don’t know if it’s a feeling of not wanting to draw something like this or if I’m just exhausted.
Please maintain a level of care that is concerning to the main story.
If we survive this, then it means the sales side’s work on promotion and awareness was poor, right?
New people are not easily swayed, so it might be best to appeal to those who are reading for free.
To be honest, if there are successful examples, it’s better to take a chance.
There are indeed types of manga that are interesting but I haven’t bought the paperback version.
If there’s a proper recognition of reader popularity, it might be good to do it.
>>156There are quite a few works that have good views even though they’re being streamed for free…
It’s exactly the same as when someone says “I’m betting on that horse!!” or “I’m betting on FX!!!” but only thinks about and doesn’t say things that are convenient for themselves.
I can’t understand what others are talking about.
Not someone who doesn’t know this manga.
I think it’s a message aimed at those who like it moderately but don’t feel it’s worth buying.
It seems like there is someone who only thinks from the perspective of the former.
I remember there was a parody manga that said something like “Blood and Ash avoided cancellation, but the editing back then was terrible.”
It might be a daydream since I can’t find it now.
If the images in the thread are being reprinted for volumes 1 and 2, then there is a good possibility that volume 3 will also be reprinted.
It’s fine to ask for cooperation on the final push.
In the first place, having the author do this is a poor move.
Isn’t it the job of a publisher or public relations?
>>165That’s right…
>>165You might not know, but
Despite that, they really don’t do any decent work.
>>165That’s why it’s treated as a last resort.
The place to post is usually social media.
>>165Does the publisher say, “Please buy this because it’s not selling”?
Who would listen to a person trying to drag others down?
In the first place, I don’t really understand how the impression can become negative!
Does seeing a request like that for the first time in a manga have a negative impression?
>>168Well, it’s inevitable to think that it’s probably not interesting…
But on the flip side, thinking about it, the barrier to reading has lowered, so it’s actually an opportunity.
The world is difficult.
>>168How many times do I have to say it for you to understand Japanese?
>>177I’m so annoyed!
I want the person who annoys me to fail!
I couldn’t read any meaning other than that.
>>181It’s declaring that it’s not understood…
>>181I see… you don’t understand Japanese, huh…
>>177I can’t believe you remember the names of people who are always doing boring activities.
If it’s interesting, I’ll read it.
It has nothing to do with the impression of the previous work.
I like it, but the manga that was in danger of being canceled is mostly MangaONE.
This is actually just a lousy trolling thread where the thread pig just wants to endlessly talk about how this is effective.
>>173If none were successful, it could be said that it’s ineffective, but since there are actually several cases where it has been successful, isn’t it incorrect to say it’s not effective?
>>173Why are you so angry?
>>173Isn’t it natural for that story to come up once there’s a success story?
The person who said “Please buy it, not just because I’m a manga artist but also because the editorial department has shining talent” is…
Well, it was interesting to feel like they were allowed to continue under the editorial team’s authority.
>>174Is it the editorial department and not editing?
If we had the editorial department on our side, it could continue.
I think it’s a good thing that Manga One allows for a more laid-back pace in serialization.
It seems like there might be some overly lax areas, as there are things written that make it hard to tell whether it’s a joke or serious, like being informed by the person in charge about adding a little something to the side job after the release date of the single volume.
If someone interrupts the discussion the person who started the thread wants to have and calls them a troll, then that person is the troll.
The manga with different eye sizes on the left and right sides was also promoted by the author.
Given that there are successful examples, it is not just better to do it; it is absolutely something that must be done.
I don’t understand why there are strangely negative people.
>>185I think it’s embarrassing, but usually, I don’t feel like pestering and nagging like that.
>>185As mentioned above, I’d prefer something more definite than just a vague request to buy it.
I think it would be better to provide specific numbers.
>>198Having specific numbers might indeed be good.
Knowing what percentage of your goal your purchase represents is quite important.
The entertainment world is a tough one…
