Being long-running, overall very successful series that are on their way to a natural end.

Overall brand reputation is an important factor for every form of entertainment media and giving well-known series a graceful ending not only improves the reputation and sales of that series in the long run, but also the reputation on the WSJ-brand that those series are associated to.



As little as I like Toriko, it will still be a well-know part of manga culture years after it ended, way more than better but shorter series that might be more profitable right now. So it's in Jump's best interest to give it more time to wrap up than usual.





Oh, and yay for solid World Trigger rankings lately.
