The horror manga Dear Anemone is canceled by Shonen Jump magazine and is set to end on the 29th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump. The manga series has released 16 chapters and is available to read on Manga Plus.
The magazine is one of the most competent ones in the manga industry, as everything is decided in the first couple of episodes of the series. Where most authors think twice before serializing their first projects in this world-renowned magazine, some authors jump the gun and are faced with harsh reality.
So, why did Jump axe Dear Anemone? The fans on the internet speculated on the reason behind this incident. Where the majority of the fandom claimed that the author had run out of ideas and the story of the manga was getting boring, some considered this action unfair and claimed that the series would have done better under any other magazine.

The horror manga Dear Anemone has released 16 chapters
Dear Anemone is a horror manga series written and illustrated by Rin Matsui. The author has been an assistant to Kohei Horikoshi for his magnum opus, My Hero Academia. This manga is the author's only series, as he has only published one-shots in his career so far, which started not too long ago.
The story of the series is centered around Gaku, accompanied by 14 other men and a woman, who is sent to the Galapagos Islands to investigate the outbreak of a strange virus. The island is also the place where the world-renowned geologist Charles Darwin did his research and proposed his theory of evolution by natural selection, one of the most famous theories in biology.
As Gaku and his friends venture into the islands, they discover strange and vile creatures that have never crossed paths with humanity. Will Gaku and his friends make it out alive in this series, or will there be consequences?
The manga series has released 16 chapters so far and is about to be canceled after its 17th chapter in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 29, which is set to be released on June 17, 2024.
Reactions from fans on Shonen Jump canceling another manga series
The majority of the fandom was not happy with the cancellation of this manga, as its art style was praiseworthy. The fandom criticized the WSJ magazine for always doing this to series that fans love and were confident that they would get to see the author again in the future with another project that, hopefully, doesn't get canceled.
"These authors should really aim for different publishers. i rarely get to see any series bloom when its in wsj," one fan claimed.
"The manga had its flaws but i didnt expect it to be axed so soon and sub 20 chapters at that. i hope the author gets a chance to be serialized once again. i see so much potential especially in their art," another fan said.
The main question is: Why did Jump cancel the Dear Anemone manga? While everyone has their opinions, a majority of fans criticized the manga's story-writing, claiming that the author was confused after chapter 4.
However, the fandom didn't hold back on praising the author's art style and claimed that the horror manga would have survived if it had been serialized in another magazine.
"Great artwork minus every character looking the same. The premise was decent enough but by chapter 4 it's like the mangaka ran out of ideas and it was directionless. Made sense why it got axed," a fan said.
"The writing has been on the wall but it was nice while it lasted," another one said.
"Feel like this series would’ve worked better in any other magazine besides WSJ," another one claimed.
Final thoughts
Hajime Isayama, the author of the world-famous series Attack on Titan, didn't serialize his story in Shonen Jump because the editorial department wanted to tweak some details in his manga series and wanted it to be less violent.
Makoto Yukimura, the author of Vinland Saga, changed magazines from Shonen Jump to Monthly Magazine for his magnum opus because he couldn't cope with the weekly submission.
This shows that the editorial department of Shonen Jump is really strict, be it regarding the story of a manga or weekly submissions. So, an author needs to speculate before serializing in this magazine if he can manage in such hard conditions.
