Fans' reaction to Tokyo Revengers creator's Astro Royale getting the axe
While some fans enjoyed reading Astro Royale, many dropped the series once it entered its tournament arc, known as the Astro Battle Royale Arc. During this arc, fans believed that the story's issues would lead to the series being canceled. Surprisingly, that's exactly what occurred.
"Yeah could see this coming when they entered a tournament called astro royale," one fan said.
Meanwhile, other fans were uncertain whether the series was canceled or had its original ending. Given the rushed storyline, it's clear the manga must have been canceled.
"Did it get axed? Or an actual ending?," one fan asked.
Other fans couldn't help but comment on Ken Wakui. According to them, the Tokyo Revengers mangaka hasn't been the same since "that" catastrophic ending.
"Wakui hasn’t been the same since THAT catastrophic ending," another fan added.
"Wakui gets to join the "super popular mangaka comes back with a new manga that runs for about a year" club," other fan said.
Meanwhile, other fans mocked the mangaka, claiming he gets to join the "super popular mangaka comes back with a new manga that runs for about a year" club." With this comment, the fan compared the Tokyo Revengers mangaka to Masashi Kishimoto, who also faced criticism for his first series, Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru, after Naruto.
