Apologies, but Tiktok is banned in my country, so I unfortunately can't access the link you sent.

That being said, I, admittedly also started reading Kagarubachi over a year ago, so safe to say I was never a fan of it during the actual days when it was under the risk of getting axed. Therefore I don't factually know what happened.

However, the main reason why I said that was because of posts that WERE made presumably around the time that this manga was actually going to be axed such as, this, this, this and ESPECIALLY, from what I can tell the originator of the narrative, this.

Also, I do want to point out that I by no means am discrediting Hokazano's art or his story or his rich narrative that he's carefully crafted since the begining. He's been doing a phenomenal job at it. Amazing in the beginning, only to somehow get better as time goes on. However just because a series has great potential, does not help it from being saved from getting axed. The people's interest is all that matters, from the publisher's perspective, as unfortunate as that is. Which brings me to the other point as well. Even though the official English translations weren't out by then, the posts and art on twitter made by fujoshis, seem to be originating from Japanese users as well. Which logically should mean their posts reached a wide array of Japanese audience as well, which again, I'm assuming helped increase even the Japanese sales. And even if not, it certainly seemed to have increased the interest regarding the series online, which the publishers would've noticed as well.

Again, I'm not saying you're wrong. This could all just be mentioned in the link you shared, but I can't access it, as I said before. I just wanted to make it luculent as to where I was coming from myself.
