Description: | It happened to be in the modern era when humanity became subjected to the menaces of the dragons. To fend for themselves, people conjured ways of manipulating magic to summon and impel manufactured, so-called “Leviathans.” The contractors of these “serpents” were supposedly the only ones designated to destroy the dragons, as they were the world's ‘valkyries of salvation.’ Named “Magi,” these maidens would accompany their leviathans as they were meant to lead the everyday resistance against the dragons... This is an adaptation from the light novel series written by Taketsuki Jou and illustrated by Nimura Yuuji. |

Damn another one..
It made me want to read the LN so I guess it's successful?
*reading it at the moment*
Thanks for your work in this manga; I was entertained while it lasted, that is the better possible outcome as far as promotional mangas go, thanks again and good bye.
Yeah, that's why I said it does not apply to all adaptions, but at the very least it applies to majority cases. Putting aside those that did get anime adaptions, those that still have not generally would fall into this case. Anime adaption isn't a 100% way to know whether it is popular enough, but having one gives more confidence than not having one.
But again, we have to look at what magazine and publisher it belongs to. For this one, it was published in Comic Alive, not many adaptions actually gets to survive long there.
For those that already received anime adaptions, it depends on more factors. But most of the it gets to continue run longer because one or more of its medium (LN/anime/manga) sells well. Ex: Dragonar gets to continue to run long without getting the axe even though the anime did badly because its fanservice in both LN and manga more or less guaranteed the sales...
Or it might depend on whether the publishers already decided to focus their investment on it to begin with. Ex: GATE was heavily invested by Alphapolis as we can see that it also receives a few spinoff adaptions together even before its anime was announced. Back then just the number of Gate titles in the manga that it published are like 15~20% of all the manga it publishes there
what i meant about hard to tell is just looking at it from ch 1 only. I know LN promotional often end only around 12ish ch which is about 2-3 vol depending on how much pages in a ch is and also ends around vol 1 of the LN version.
...
not always true in both case ...
There's manga for LN adaptation which sell quite well and have anime adaptation, yet it get close too for LN promotion ...( note the manga version sell more because the mangaka dramatized some event to the point reader get hooked with it compared the anime and LN)
(Ex: Black Bullet)
Also there's manga for LN adaptation, have anime adaptation too, it get discontinued since it can't surpass the anime version ... yet the anime adaptation makes the LN sell a lot compared the manga adaptation ...
(Ex:No Game No Life)
There's also Manga adaptation which sell more than LN or anime adaptation ... The anime don't sell well (get too tamed) and the Novel not sell too since it too racist ... the manga sell a lot tough ...
(Ex : GATE)
Or the manga adaptation just have average sell, have anime adaptation and yet it still continued ...
(Ex: Highschool DxD)
Oh well another LN promotion manga....its a good thing the LN is being translated so nothing to say about this
While this does not apply to all LN adaptions, an easier way to tell is whether it did receive anime adaption when it hits 12 chapters, which means it has serialized around 1 year already. Most will start getting the axe around that time because the publisher will start planning to replace with another LN that are already lining up behind.
If you want to be more careful, you can also look up the other adaptions published in the same magazines to check how long they usually keep one. From what I see, this magazine mostly does promotions for LN/VN promotions and will end in 1~4 years length
here we go again w/ this guy
well its really hard to tell if its gonna be long going or not...best choice is just pick it up and see where it goes ._. although the LN is being translated iirc
...
another one ? oh well ... *sigh* ...
this getting quite common lately ...
LN isn't a person or a company... It isn't "doing" anything.
Well, at least I'm done with this.
CURSE YOU LN STOP DOING THIS...okay I feel better.
LN promotion
Axe maybe?
Umm... is there supposed to be some sort of continuation? It says complete, but it also foreshadowed certain events, so... I guess what I'm trying to say is wut
It's just an attempt to mimic Lovecraft. Who, in turn, tried to mimic Egyptian language.
Most fiction writers don't create names that sound like the sounds a horse makes while belching, though.
to be precise it's a white nine-tailed fox-wolf with serpentine-like tails
Ah! You mean like every single other fiction writers? FUS RO DAH!!!
Lol! Well they did describe that it has serpent-like tails... On the other hand, it does not fully look like a normal fox either. Especially with that beak-like mouth. However the light novel at least did describe it having both characteristics of a fox and other characteristics of a serpent (the tails and the claws(?)).
Rulakh Souhn, Rak al Soth, Raargh be Blargh. Seriously, what mythology are these names taken from, or are they just pulled from the writer's ass after combining bits of different languages?
