I'm still trying to figure out who the main character of this manga is going to be. They show a lot of pictures of the orange haired magician girl, but they showcase a boy on this one.

Guess I'll find out when it premieres. I hope one of these 4 manga are good, they are replacing Beelzebub which I've been reading for years. I'd be mad if any of them gets cancelled quick.

Do you know the other manga being replaced in the Japanese version of Weekly Shonen jump? I really hope Naruto's one of them it seems likes it's barreling towards a climax I hope it doesn't drag on much longer.

I'm definitely looking forward to this series. I really enjoyed what I saw of Baccano! and Durarara!!

Has Narita ever written a story with a single main character?

That was my thought too :) I'd be disappointed if he changed his habits now: the large and varied casts are a big part of why I love his work.

Hachi and Koi no Cupid Yakenohara Jin are near locks to be canceled.
Beyond that, the possible scenarios are:
1. No other series get the axe; we see a fluctuation of +2 series running in WSJ. Looking over the past few years, fluctations in size of greater than 1 (in either direction) are rare.
2. Iron Knight also killed off to make it 4 in, 3 out. WSJ's been running at 19 series for the past half a year or so; getting back up to 20 is likely. Iron Knight being the 3rd to go is I think unlikely, as I haven't seen some outrageously bad reaction to it. The only time I can think of where a series got canceled before its 2nd volume in the last 3 years has been Mutou Black (blasted for being a poor, obvious Rurouni Kenshin ripoff). But it just started ranking for real recently and it's off to a bad start.
3. Beelzebub is the one killed off to make it 4 in, 3 out. It started in issue #13 of 2009, so I'm thinking of it ending around its 5th anniversary. It's really the only other likely candidate to get the axe, due to the combination of its recent ratings and how rushed it has been.
4. Both Iron Knight and Beelzebub get cancelled to make it 4 in, 4 out.

Anyway, I'm excited for Stealth Symphony's addition to the lineup. If it's not too dissimilar from the one-shot, it looks to be a fun world at least.

I think the novels are already way beyond Yellow Scarves? (I don't actually know, haven't read any of them.) The first volume of Yellow Scarves manga was released in October in Japan. It's my understanding, based on afterwords and such, that the artist writes and draws her own adaptation of the story (of course he'd have to approve it and all but I don't think he's actually scripting each chapter).

is there any new manga in shonen jump that similar to Naruto and bleach you know like you have main character and love interest with likable characters and villains with interesting story arcs takes ups 100 chapters and so. I mean where is good manga, I don't like toriko, hunter x hunter and one piece.

Can't wait for the manga. Hopefully it gets a print release any time soon after it's digital release.
