Stealth Symphony

[xyzzy]

Ah, yes. The Shounen Jump series from the creator of Durarara which lasted only 20-odd chapters before getting canned. Such a shame it ended so rushed.

 

[Athos]

Well, at least it managed to go out guns blazing. If you know anything about the author, it's nothing new, but the way he delivered that twist was brilliant.

...In which, for better or worse, Narita Ryohgo delivers by far the most memorable of all the axe-rushed endings I've read from Jump.

Most authors try to wrap things up as neatly as possible, or, failing that, leave the story open-ended. But Narita, when told he has only a few chapters left, apparently goes straight off the deep-end, and mercilessly crashes the story nose-first into the ground for a final unscheduled fireworks display.

Series got axed. Shame really.

And yet this is one of the best axed endings. The author really needs some talent to be able to pull off an axed end without making it seem annoying.

This series was so good and yet it got axed... Sometimes I wonder if the Japanese audience has problems...

 

[nachtness]

axed but ended up in uncommon ending? 10/10

This series was so good and yet it got axed... Sometimes I wonder if the Japanese audience has problems...

Yeah, I dunno if even half of the axed series I've read really deserved the axe compared to some of the longest running pieces of shit I've seen. Differences of values and expectations I guess?

god bless axe kun, this is probably naritas most coherent work ive seen. for once he stopped jerking it to his rube goldberg plots and actually finished a story straight up with fairly little convolution.

I'm not even sure if this was axed from the way Narita talks about this story. But regardless, it ends more or less conclusively because it completes an arc that was actually intended to complete in about this amount of chapters. Sadly, probably no sequel about Troma's planned development, huh... Oh well.
