Hello everyone. Today we'll have another storytime about an axebait. But this is no ordinary axebait, it is one very special axebait. This is none other than Chagecha, written and illustrated by Yoshio Sawai, best known for Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (which was actually moderately successful, lasted for 200 chapters and even got an anime). Why is it special you may ask? At a whopping eight chapters and only a single volume, it is perhaps the shortest-running serialized series in modern Jump history (not including one-shots or limited-run series like Burn the Witch). That should make it honorary vice-president of the U19 club, and a fate that others don't want to follow. So why was it axed so quickly? Let's read this story together and find out.
The story: >From all over Japan, Yankee Boys (hoodlums) full of dreams and ambition gather in Gure Tokyo. Then Chagecha appears with his unorthodox "Yanki," and changes everything!!
>it is perhaps the shortest-running serialized series in modern Jump history Second lasted only 6 chapters, but that's not really "modern" Jump. Sawai almost certainly decided to end it immediately after getting early negative feedback.

Are there scans of that? Maybe we can do a storytime of that in the future too.
