It hasn't really "been" a failure, it's cumulatively sold almost 200,000 copies. And Shueisha was pushing it as the next big thing. But with the betrayal/never-ending flashback/meta bullshit training arc bullshit that represents the series' FOURTH genre shift at just one year old, it started freefalling in the ToC and was quietly replaced by Yozakura in the marketing. Which is probably ending soon and isn't much better in terms of reader whiplash but Jump is playing with scraps these days. Maybe Mashle will save Jump and it will become a Josei mag

Big fucked, and going nowhere fast. Open up a big tournament arc with a challenge that no one has done in a decade? Have 10 characters do it like it’s easy as fuck. No sense of scale, or scope of strength.

The poster is older than the dip I'm talking about and the project is just a popularity poll. I'm not spoonfeeding you
