Echo/Zeon Cancelled!?
« on: March 31, 2012, 12:43:26 PM »
Now, I can't read Japanese too well, but using the little that I do know and some help from good ol' Google Translator, it appears that Echo/Zeon has been cancelled due to Young Ace censoring Rikudou's work!

Can anyone who knows Japanese read these Amazon reviews and tell me if I'm correct?

This is terrible if true! There was no chance in hell that I'd ever be able to read it, but it's absolutely devastating to hear that something like this has happened to one of the most underappreciated mangaka in the industry. :(

Why did they censor his work?

I'm not sure... hopefully someone with actual Japanese reading skills can clarify. ;)

What Google Translate is calling "censored" actually just means "canceled" in this context. There isn't a reason why given in those comments, and in fact all of them are complaining that it was cut off while clearly being unfinished. The last commenter is mad that it took a porny turn toward the end.

Interesting. I was guessing Rikdou cancelled out of his own accord because of Young Ace's actions of censoring his material.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying! Sucks that it got axed, though.
