What is it to you that I hold a different standard as to what is an applicable approach to the storytelling medium. Passion project or not, that doesn't mean I have to adhere to it. To each their own, if that isn't obvious by now then I'm at a loss.
What possesses a person to go into a thread about a show that doesn't appeal to them, to celebrate a bad business situation screwing the author of that story, and then act like they're on the defensive?
A different standard, that you clearly cannot comprehend. Sorry I triggered you buddy, my intention was never to shit on your beloved author or his work, if that's your interpretation.

To be fair, It was a silly idea to begin with.

Usually in sports manga, the underdog goes on to challenge stronger opponents till there are none left. It was bound to end someday. 15 Tankoubons are incredible by itself.

Keijo is ridiculous in a good and entertaining way. Though I don't like it enough for me to be affected because it got axed. Tough luck things just doesn't go your way. HOTD and Black Lagoon has not been updated for more than a couple of years :(

Someone who understands! A lot of undeserved rage for a girl that just wants to help people. But I'll stop this here because this is not the place for this.

But seriously, going around in Emilia's avatar is just asking to get educated about "Best Girl".

I know about those, doesn't change the fact that the mangas are not being updated. That's why I just wait for mangas to be finished before I read them.

Lol @ the people taking the nugget meme seriously.

On to the main point, I didn't think people liked Keijo like that. I thought it was a joke series that wasn't going to do that well so the anime not getting continued isn't a surprise as all. It does suck that the mangaka is also going to take the fall for it though. It's always a shame when a person's dream gets shot down. Especially in a scenario where (apparently) the manga was doing well but it was the anime that flopped.

OMG I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING! One of the funniest and stupidest thread in MAL! Every word you typed on your post is FAKE!! Just because the anime was failure that doesn't mean the author stopped working on the manga. Maybe he is tired of working on Keijo because he is not getting paid properly (selling less than 10k copies) so he want to do a new manga. Like ofc no ones cares if he is covering his body with cabbage instead of blanket. I'm posting this because the anime has nothing to do with the last chapter.
Just now I noticed that the manga is not licensed in English. Go and beg for Viz to license it.

Q) So why did the author stopped Keijo!!!!?
A) Because he wanted to stop it.

I don't care for it much. Keijo!!!!!!!! was only funny for the first couple of episodes, and the anime fanservice wasn't top-tier for what I've seen. The manga fanservice might have been better tho, but I don't have the time to read that atm

It seem like the manga is ending, but not because of the anime and the thing seems to be faked.

So in another word not only did the op potentially just gave false news (which to be fair is hard to tell), say Japan has shit taste and use a shitty meme, but also made the topic about chicken nugget instead of the manga itself WTF OP XD. Well once the Keijo blu ray is released by funimation I at least have that.

Also, hell no I am not buying a blu-ray from Japan when it will not have any sub and is expensive as hell.

Fact of the matter is Japanese audiences give creators the most money, if the publishers can't make a good profit off of giving a series pages in their magazine, then it's a waste to put it there regardless of it's quality.

It's not like this is the first time it's happened. The same reason why the Nichijou anime won't get a season 2.

Nah the manga is far less dumb than the anime and is pretty legit.

There's immensely worse out there. Keijo is mid-to-good tier as a manga, and is a really good sports manga.

Fanservice is great. Just like salt in your food. And just like salt in your food, if you have none it lacks taste, if you have too much, it's disgusting.

I agree.
Male friends of mine who loves ecchi anime didn't like Keijo so much.

Why people are talking about Yoi here in the first place?
Why is so hard do deal with Yoi's success?
C'mon guys a failure of a anime/manga has nothing to do with another anime's success.

YOI is the best anime ever? NO.
But it did a lot of sucsess? YES.
So it's responsible for Keijo's Failure? NO.

from what it seems like from reading a few posts in this thread (as I haven't personally read the manga myself) the blame also partially falls on the author because it sounds like he's sort of "painted himself into a corner" for lack of a better term? So if it would have continued it might have not gone so well anyways considering


feel free to correct me on any of this if I'm wrong, my only knowledge comes from what little I've heard about it.

I can only say a thing to you and all these frightening people, calm your tits. I didn't survive so many "end-of-the-world's" to die in the end of Keijo, 'kay?

Put this in your head: just because you like it, it doesn't means everybody else will like it or it'll sell well.

"But it became famous here in America and all that shit," so what? Japan and America are completely different countries with different people, with completely different tastes and honestly, i dislike Keijo completely just like the crazy and shit tastes japanese people.

"The anime was a shit and that's why the manga was cancelled, this is so unfair!," no way in hell! Keijo manga sales where always crappy and decadent so it ended up being cancelled.

Keijo sold so badly that it's hard to find information about the sales. Keijo's 14th volume was in 228th position on Shoseki weekly ranking (Don't even appears on Oricon Ranking) from 12/12 to 12/18 and don't appear in any monthly 500 ranking for its entire publication, i don't even remember about a manga with an anime going so badly in my whole life.

The anime production believed in it just like you did and tried to save it appealing to the good part of the series (The only part of it - Is it really that good, by the way?), the boobs and butts, but failed astoundingly and that's its role in this corrupted, mean and degenerated industry of anime and manga, it's just so pitiful that i might cry over my keyboard.

Keijo is a fail as a manga, as an anime and as a manga with an anime. New series on the same magazine sells in one week what Keijo can't with 10 volumes. 2017 is the year of new series with all magazines starting a lot of new serializations (Following Jump on this) and it was more profitable to just cancel Keijo and get a new and more profitable serie and keep with the other magazines. Now deal with it, how old are you?

You don't know this industry, don't say shit about it, don't say shit about consumers who support what you have for free and now and last but not least don't blame japanese people, you and nobody has the right to do this.

I read manga for a long time now and i'm completely accustomed with cancellation, hiatus and all of this.

Togashi-sensei is old and sick, the same goes to Miura-sensei so i really don't cry over HunterxHunter or Berserk, i wait patiently because this is everything i can do (Always hoping for the best to the creators that give me those amazing mangas)

Now if you want Keijo so badly, you can pay the equivalent to 7 thousand copies for volume to the author (Or just his wages, not too much i would say) until you become tired of it and also quit.

Grow up and be an adult.

I think i should do this, as a lot of guys were asking what the hell is wrong with the series and all this. I don't read or watch the manga or anime entirely but i don't really needed to (I couldn't possibly do it, btw), cause Keijo showed me exactly of what it was made in few chapters/episodes.

Keijo is about a nonsensical sport that defies physics with girls doing erotic stuffs using superpowers with no reason when doing things as wedgies and such that makes they shine(And here is where comes the pseudo-physics).

http://i.imgur.com/sOqcJhn.png

The manga and anime differs just in the beginning, not showing the MC reason to be a professional Keijo Wrestler? Player? Whatever, she wants the money because gymnastics can't make her rich even if she conquer a medal on Olympics and want to be rich because she is too poor and has a family to support. There's also her boy best friend which is also completely erased for the sake of time to show more boobs and asses.

http://i1.mangareader.net/keijo/1/keijo-6259891.jpg

Considering this, the manga has a bigger character development and story's background when the anime is basically butty butty butty. Not that this all matters in the end.

https://i1.wp.com/tokidokigoodish.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/keijo-5.jpg?w=496&h=279&crop&ssl=1

Going steady to the point, Keijo quickly shows us what we'll see in this series. Fanservice about girls fighting over a platform in a pool using just their butts and boobies for some reason. The development is almost none, we just see girls clashing with their parts and wills; the story is non-existencial as there's no development; the dialogues are weak and nearly unnecessary; the comedy is ridiculous with the most comic part being the training or the fights by themselves, what makes this series be basically about laughing with a bone.

https://fansub.co/compare/Keijo!!!!!!!!/HorribleSubs%2005087.png

The art of both anime and manga aren't remarkable at all, so is the soundtrack. The big problem of Keijo is that its author basically created a ridiculous manga, Keijo obviously label itself purposely with being "Ridiculous" (Can you think any other thing but "WTF?" when hearing about the synopsis?) and people become interested, so did i; but this "unusualism" is just enough for one episode and the premise couldn't handle the series, that became just "ridiculous". So the series that was all about fanservice became ONLY about fanservice as a trying to be saved and keep with the anime's focus and here we are. No offense :).

Keijo hasn't any intelligent line and is a mixing of battle manga, sport manga and ecchi manga; the result wasn't good enough to make the consumers want to buy it or love it. But here is a good new, this year with a lot of new series going so well you can discover what makes a series be good enough to catch the reader and become incredible famous! (Or sell more than 10k, webmangas sell this much, for Tezuka's sake!)

Using a comparative often used for those who like Keijo (Don't worry, i won't name you guys), there's Yuri on ICE. An anime woman-focused which is also quite successful with the men (So is Osomatsu-san). Why? Cause Yuri on ICE isn't just about "Men skating with collant", the story, soundtrack, character development and background, comedy, art and all these point surpass a lot every single one in Keijo (It can also be quite ridiculously funny if you're a man that doesn't like BL, like me :D - But YOI can't win when the matter is boobs or wedgies, though).

I know how is like/love a series that is good as horse shit and vomit, but it doesn't make this series better, so it's just normal that it'll sell just like a good horse shit with vomit, right?

If you want to laugh about ridiculous stuff, see shining nipples and don't give a damn to all the rest, go ahead and eat this series as you would do a Nutella. If you just want to see boobs and butts jumping though, i think there are better options. (The shining thing? Go on Kill la Kill ;D)

Remarking that i'm no Keijo hater, i have nothing against the series and i absolutely don't hate it (And i also don't hate you, who love this series. I like everybody and if you're a girl, i love you too). I'm just strongly realist about a series that didn't captivate me with good reasons and now is becoming a madness because its end.

What waifu bait,there really none at all suprisingly enough which is bad for merchandising.

Most of the girls have strong personality and are independent and when they talk about guys, they are the one who want to hunt for them and not wait for a guy to sweep them off their feet.

Most waifu girl are supposed to be more pure and wait for the right person, and be dependent on the mc male which does not exist. Hell is implied that Sayaka might have a thing for Nozomi, so again nothing really scream waifu.

I mean in the waifu scale from trash to Asuna, they are in the middle, normal ass hardworking woman, with abnormal ass.
