What is that one series, that was either canceled or forced to have a rushed ending, that had the potential to be great but was cut too short to see it and you keep wondering, years later, how good it would have been had the author been able to continue?
Psyren, Double Arts and if we’re including “Indefinite Hiatus” then Iris Zero are all ones I go back to every now and then and think “What If?”
Oh yeah, Psyren for sure. I really wish it got the time to reach a proper buildup to a satisfying conclusion, rather than that rushed ending that it got.
Act-age
Not axed but unlimited hiatus works, Iris Zero
Same with Ruri Dragon
Ruri Dragon was such a shame. Had to do with the author’s health, right?
Yep. Kind of an HxH situation but much earlier into the production of the manga. Let’s hope the author gets better
Iris Zero
Same, that one was interesting too, I remember reading it pre pandemic and it had been in hiatus for a while. Didnt realize Ruri Dragon was on hiatus
I enjoyed Phantom Seer and wish we could have gotten more of it. I also enjoyed that candy manga - I can’t think of the name right now but the main character used a lollypop
There’s so many manga that I wished had an ending, but Ultra Heaven is my answer. I read it probably about 10 years ago, and I still remember it from time to time. It was a really unique and trippy manga that I wish had an ending. I have no idea why it was cancelled though.
Another one that’s not officially cancelled is Vagabond, but I’m mentally prepared for it to have no ending since it hasn’t been continued in forever. From time to time, I’m just like “I wonder if it has an update?” The answer is always no.
Also enjoyed ultra heaven, you can’t always tell if the visuals/frames are depicting reality or Kabu’s mind or something in between. which leaves a lot of possibilities for where the story could go next (if it ever starts again rip)
i miss ultra heaven so much :( such an interesting concept with incredible art, and it “ended” right when it felt like the story was really going somewhere.
It hasn’t been years but I wonder what Yuuji Kaku could have done with Ayashimon were he given the chance to tell that story in full. It had no time in Jump to lay the groundwork, but the Yakuza Yokai setting oozed style.
Ginka and Glüna was another series that was taken from us before its time. I think it suffered by being a little more cartoonish and straight edge in its storytelling in a time when Jump readers seem to be into more dramatic and edgy themes.
For me its Saitou-kun wa Esper Rashii

It was some dumb comedy with an overconfident protagonist meeting actual espers which was so dumb funny to me, also it included a mind reader which is one of my favorite tropes in manga. It does have some of that 2000s and early 2010s ecchi which I feel has aged kind of poorly as it feel forced, at least for me. But the comedy is good, the main cast is funny and the protagonist is just really likeable in a sense.
Only problem is it lasts 26 chapters and the ending was so rushed it is nonsensical, I love this series but man when I reached the ending I was in disbelief seeing end that way.
There’s a remake of Crest of the Stars manga that gets updated once every 1 or 2 years.
I don’t know if it’s still running or not. But damm i loved the concept and visual style. There’s also some books, and old anime and the original manga but I’m somewhat afraid of consuming them at this point.
Not cancelled, just on long hiatus, and hopefully will continue very soon — Real
HxH.
:'(
Hunter x Hunter isn’t cancelled.
It hasn’t been cancelled, but on the WSJ website, it’s been moved from the “Serialised Works” section to the “Archived” section. I think that’s about as much confirmation as we’ll get.
Confirmation on what? Togashi still works on it, considering his possibilities due to health (his twitter). Manga just won’t be serialized weekly anymore.
I’ll be very happy if it continues, but I have no hope.
