Someone asked what Japan was thinking, axing this and continuing with Nisekoi... and one of my guesses is their ability to create some of the most weird and inspired suff also seems to fuel their business sense.
That, or graphic novel fans have much lower standards than book lovers.
Or something is fundamentally flawed in Japanese society (which, if you look at several metrics, like how their police forge evidence to be right—and thus gain "honor"... super twisted definition of that word, but I digress—how bar owners in some areas are known to team up with rapists, the drinking problem many of their youth have because almost no one enforces the age limit for drinking, their declining birth rate, their shockingly light punishments for pedophiles, how so many of the protagonists of their stories are wimps in character, the list goes on...).
Not that any society has it all figured out, but things like their version of honor being so twisted and their suicide rate seem to indicate something bigger than a lot of other first-world societies.
Psyren was cancelled.
Trouble (creative differences) with an artist means throw out all their work, hire someone else, and tell the same story again instead of continue where they left off.
Creating part of a manga in order to sell the books instead of making a whole manga.
Most of the light novels being turned into manga having the writing capability of an emotional 12 year old writing fan fiction.
The fact there's now published work that tries to get the reader to sympathize with a rapist and justify doing such things....
But, again, it could just be readers and watchers of manga and anime. Sword Art Online is one of the worst written pieces of trash and yet it became super popular for un-ironic reasons.
And there was an NTR arc where Asuka magically doesn't get r-word despite that being the villain's goal and him having full control... huh, maybe it is Japanese society.
Well, anyways, this is my completely "I did not expect to do this today" rant.
