It had good enough stories and the whole bloody classroom was interesting enough....I hope they atleast release a volume like they did with sand land.

This series had everything to be successful, but the Japanese readership didn't seem to care at all. Too bad, it was an above average series.

Hopefully the conclusion will be translated in English Jump in the next week.

That's another example of how the formula Quality = Popularity doesn't always hold up.

What a terrible shame, I genuinely enjoyed this series with its energetic and fast-paced storyline and eccentric but humorous characters. It truly had a lot of potential to run longer. Too bad Jump doesn't see it that way. Sad

Bad timing, I suppose. That's my best guess.

And yeah, there was an announcement in Viz's Shonen Jump that they'll have the conclusion shortly. I remembered it being the May 25th issue, but that didn't have it in there, so I assume it's been delayed to June 1st.

Or rather, the readers. It debuted in the upper middle of the rankings, but it plummeted and couldn't climb back up.

That cover really drew my interest. Is he the protagonist? I like his design. Might give this a try.

Yeah, that's the protagonist, Inugami.

Inugami was great. The other tongues, not so much. Will miss this series, hopefully DH licensing Dangenronpa will fill my craving.

Now that's really interesting since that's the name of a monster in a game I play a lot. He looks sharp.

Are you referring to the one from the Shin Megami franchise, per chance?

Nah, it's just from a mobile game I play called Summoners War.

Really? While I didn't find Kijima that interesting, Sarutobi was my second-favorite character after Inugami because he is so ridiculous, yet scarily effective.
