axe fucking when? I thought Aka was a genius mangaka.

Why.. you killed Ai aka..
Just why..

It probably will not axed, it seems the manga itself doing really good in japan ( pic related ) and if it's axed Aka can take Kaguya as hostage.

I think the reason why it's not big on the west because the theme is idol which is not widely familiar in the west.

>Kills her doctor
>Then kills her
What's his endgame?

What the hell? The killer is the dad? I don't fucking get it. What's his motive? I thought he was just a stalker.

So the killer was the dad all along

He's probably mentally ill

I thought this and Kaguya ran in the same magazine that Kingdom and Golden Kamuy ran in. I thought those two were super popular.

Why would she think that, plenty of music artists come from broken homes, it helps sell them as struggling artists whonclawed their way to the top

She'll live, right?
Right?

They do run in the same magazine and those two are popular. But I dunno if more popular than Kaguya, maybe Kingdom is?

Oshi no Ko is doing well in terms of reception but that doesn't necessarily mean it will sell super well or anything.

Woah! He's just like me!

He likely looks more presentable than you, though

After the first 7 chapters I still had hope she simply retired and is hiding, but after it's clear she's dead ;_;

Dropped.
