Jesus, how many more mangas that Jump will keep adding? World Trigger and Koisuru Edison, two previous manga added by them, were complete failure and garbage at best. And it seems to me they're already frustated enough that keep adding manga per short period of time becomes the only solution to maintain their readers base.
Agreed. This manga feels kinda niche and i doubt it would be able to attract mainstream shonen readers base, in which Jump stands best for |

You must be really new to WSJ if this surprises you.
Every single year Jump cycles about 10~12 titles and majority of them fail, but 2 or 3 stick. It has been like this for three decades or so. 2010-2011 were particularly bad year while 2012 was one of the best year. Every season, WSJ cycles out 2-3 titles, and introduce 2-3 more. The number of titles cycling in/out can vary by a little depending on how they're doing that year (and who's in charge), but in general it's been consistent. And you know what? To be quite frank, this highly competitive nature has worked out for them, WSJ is single handedly the most popular manga magazine in Japan, more so than WSS and WSM combined. So I would say they know what they're doing more than what we, the smug arm-chair marketing internet critics say. As for Soul Catcher(s), it was nearly identical to the one-shot version with very minor changes. Hell he probably could have just added a few pages at the end and in between and published the exact same content without redrawing the whole thing.

Romance stuff is pretty much doomed. Although it seems Nisekoi is doing pretty fine. Kano and Kawashita should really go to a different magazine...
