Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja - Vol. 16 Ch. 97 - Since Then and From Now On

[Yuuen]

This had such a strong start, it's actually such a shame it fell apart enough to get axed...

 

[vampireloli360]

Its been years.. Why cancelled though??? 😭😭😭

 

[KairikiSoul]

Bruh

 

[windfang]

the skip to all 9 sage reveal and end just like that?
geez fucking axe there so many arcs left to adapt too
I'm so glad I didn't buy a manga

 

[Grikath]

How to turn Axe-kun into a LN ad....
Got to admit... That was a pretty good rug-pull there...

 

[LordTartaros]

Well there goes my motivation to pick it back up...

 

[ciera]

tl;dr old men make the best little girls

 

[Kinnsz]

It was enjoyable while it lasted it started off strong but was kinda kinda falling apart around chapter 45 it was a good run though thanks for the translations guys I’ll see you guys in other forums it was a fun ride

"I wonder when the continuation will be released" me too Kagura..me too

10 years, dang. Hard to believe that much time has passed.

Yeah, am I sad? of course! can I get mad or call it an axe? absolutely not... it's so much time and so many volumes, I understand not wanting to make it their life work (Dicca I mean) because we probably needed another 5 o 8 to "finish" it.

But I will miss it a lot and the anime definitely didn't do it justice.

Thank you for the translation. No way I can’t believe this got axed

Art quality is way too high for the viewership.

 

[AngelOfMelody]

The axe was expected for a while
Great start, midway through it fell so hard and a half baked chimera clausen arc didnt help.
Loved the design, loved the start, now I can love the good memories i have of it, that's about it

 

[FlameKingInferno]

screw whoever axed this

 

[N2O]

didn't expect it to just end there

or maybe i did

maybe i did expect that

Looking for whatever information I could find, it seems this likely isn't a case of the manga getting axed, so much as it is the artist suffering health issues. And considering that it'd take one-and-a-half times again as much as has already been released just to get to the point where all the sages are gathered (so, another 15 years worth of serialisation), I can empathise with them.

Still, in the tweet announcing the final volume, the artist used the words 一旦の区切り, which I'm struggling to read as anything other than "temporary break/milestone", which I'd interpret as, the series might get picked up by another artist. Though I guess that might just be a reference to the series continuing in the form of the light novel. Edit: Thinking more about it, it was probably just a "soft" way of phrasing things, as is so common with Japanese.

10 years running for a manga adapting an LN is respectable. Looks like Toaru Index manga adaptation is still king for the longest running serialization (at 17 years now)

I could've sworn the status originally said "completed" but now it says "cancelled". Was it changed?

The spanish TL had it in completed status and the english TL switched it to cancelled. You'd have to ask them

 

[zeinzki]

Came here to see if I should read this or not, is it worth it?

worth it. it just the last 10 chapters feel rushed especially this last one. the other ±80 is kinda goat

 

[Wolvenworks]

Axed? Why? Especially after 10 years. It doesn’t make sense. It’s like what if the new Overlord manga just suddenly got axed for no reason whatsoever. Anyone know why they decide to axe it now out of all times?

Now this is just making me want the anime to get new seasons so they can pass this point.
