I'm not angry for what happened with Bleach -I even rooted for it to end-; however, if the editors thought that with a measly quantity of chapters between the volume in which it was announced and the final volume the ending would feel perfect, they made a very grave miscalculation. On top of that, the two new series on board may not meet the same success that Bleach once had -let's think on the worst scenario; these are not the first series their authors penned, and both of them were yet another in a long line of failures on this decade on Jump.-

Knowing Jump, even if I haven't read Bakuman, I have the overall idea of how Jump works -I even saw Enigma and Magico getting axed this way-. So let's say that it was not the right momment to end Bleach and that the new series -Love Rush and Red Sprites- get unceremoniously axed (Ryohei Yamamoto -Love Rush- penned E-Robot, which ended at 12 chapters, and Tomohiro Yagi -Red Sprite- created Iron Knight, which ended ad 18 chapters) Leaving the particular reasons both first works got axed, one must ask if halting a manga which started well -it even won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 2005- and then declined, and replacing it with two mangas who may never shine, let alone skyrocket, would have been the right choice.

Anyways, times change, and the only permanent thing is change.

NOTE: I know even authors who fail at their first -or maybe at their second too, in the case of Horikoshi-sensei- manga can succeed in their next work (Barrage → My Hero Academia; Hungry Joker → Black Clover; Double Arts → Nisekoi; Yotsuya Senpai no Kaidan → Haikyuu; Shonen Shikku → Food Wars; and others who later got serialized in Jump+), and like Jacob said, authors whose manga are not popular get a warning to wrap up. But frankly, what Jump needs with urgency is a new wave of big series, and for a mangaka to get past the red zone, he must muster effort, hard work, motivation at its highest and a complete synergy with his editors.
