What? Wasn't this Gangan Online's best-selling manga?
This is too weird. For a series that would normally sell around 100,000 units per volume on its debut week, to end without even so much as a note in the prior chapter? No. This is either a publisher dispute or something is going on with Yamauchi Yasunobu. Either way, I'm really saddened to see this manga come to such a strange and sudden end. Hopefully I'm wrong and this was an amicable ending, and the creator is okay. |

That is pretty strange indeed. I hope we get some more news on what really happened there...

Bizarre. Also, the final chapter sounds a lot like one of the episodes of the anime? Or am I mixing it up with a similar anime....Bizarre either way. A shame too, very funny manga.

Yeah, I think It's Not My Fault I'm not Popular is their next biggest title (I saw an article saying the first two volumes have sold 400,000 copies) but it's still a ways behind Daily Lives (at least until it gets the inevitable anime adaptation). |

Just f$%king great. Something good gets cancelled and I bet we'll get 2 more seasons of f$%king yuru yuri and 2 more k-on movies.

Well, Yuru Yuri and K-ON anime sold a lot better than the DLHSB anime did. Still, it is quite strange that the manga would get the boot since it does have quite good sales. Like those above me, I think something happened with the manga-ka.

Yes, this is all a conspiracy against things you like. I had no interest in this manga, but the abrupt end is certainly unusual. |

Because those publications and anime productions are at all related to this manga cancellation? |

Very possible that the mangaka wasn't getting paid enough or the mangaka simply lost interest in the work. Either way, more clarity would be nice. I wasn't too big of a fan of the anime but the manga is definitely a lot more fun.

Will be interesting to see what he does after this. Because keep in mind that Gangan Online is like the "minor leagues" for manga-ka: easier to get accepted, but no print magazine, so smaller viewership.
It seems odd he would walk away from 100k sales per vol. Maybe he got an offer with a magazine instead? |

Given the 100k sales, it's clearly more profitable than making doujinshi (if we believe rumours on who this mangaka is) with a relatively lax schedule (about 6 pages every 2 weeks). I think the possibility is either he switched to another publisher (like the OP mentioned), or he was "weaned" into print. |
