Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump has no problem pulling the plug on underperforming titles, but for its most recent cuts, something’s different.
In the last month, over the course of a week, Shueisha's Shonen Jump canceled two manga titles. While the cancelation of titles is nothing new for the notoriously fussy magazine, what is surprising is the canceled titles' longevity, with both having surpassed the magazine's notorious one-year "make or break" tradition.
The culling began with a February 19, 2023, post to the official Shonen Jump Twitter account stating that High School Family: Kokosei Kazoku, an SJ staple since Summer 2020 will end immediately with Chapter 122, which incidentally, was the chapter that had just been published the day before.
Shonen Jump has always been clear about how it judges the worth of a title. If it's not a blockbuster hit with legions of fans, then the chances are it won't survive. In 2022 blog post, Yuta Momiyama, the Shueisha editor responsible for overseeing Shonen Jump's online activities, explains their extensive use of surveys, polls, and reader feedback to determine how well a title is being received by the public.
These Cancelations Suggest Shonen Jump Has Replacements With its metric-driven focus, the most likely reason for the cancelation of the titles is that Shonen Jump has already found their replacements. Since the announced, and perceived endings, of popular titles like Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, and My Hero Academia; Shonen Jump has debuted at least 10 new titles, with the latest new title debuting in January 2023.
There are a few of the new crop that seem quite promising. For instance, Masaoki Shindo's RuriDragon has been massively popular despite having published only six chapters and being on indefinite hiatus since August 2022. According to Shonen Jump's own MangaPlus website, new titles The Inchinose Family's Deadly Secrets, Fabricant 100, and Jianshi X are doing well, and much better than either of the canceled titles.
