''Shuukan Shounen Hachi'' ("Weekly Boys' Hachi") is a [[WriteWhatYouKnow manga about manga]] by Masuda Eiji, of ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'' fame[[note]]The series still takes place in the same universe as ''My Monster Secret'' and ''Manga/SakuraDiscord''[[/note]], launched in the Weekly Shounen Champion in 2018. It features his famously detailed and versatile artstyle and mix of drama and wacky comedy, although the tone is less absurdist than in his previous work. It ''is'' a Masuda series though, so expect the average stupidity level of the cast to be pretty high.

Added DiffLines:

* PageTurnSurprise: The manga largely keeps to this style. While the setting and tone aren't ''quite'' as zany, the MoodWhiplash and page turns are still used abundantly −-a notable example being in chapter 3 when, after exposing which girls they find cute (after a moment of hesitation), the boys all admit that the first name that came to their minds was [[DudeLooksLikeALady Mikeya,]] with the main character Hachi facepalming out of sympathy.

* NotSoDifferent: After listening to Miké's story of his debut, Hachi concluded that despite being on different starting points, their existing situations and frustrations are similar. Additionally, both of them ending up engaging in a HamToHamCombat just under a day of meeting each other.

Alas, in a sad irony poor sales led to the series' cancellation after 42 chapters. The author would return to supernatural (and slightly horrific) comedy two years later with ''Yumemigaoka Wonderland'', this time a monthly publication.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: The series ends after [[spoiler:the battle between Hachi and Mikeya for the Shonen Champ oneshot contest]], leaving the rest of their ascension as mangaka mostly to the imagination of the readers (save for a few glimpses in the last pages and in the omake).

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Hachi's inner monologue in chapter 41 about how [[spoiler:competition is inevitable because the number of places is limited]], as well as the chapter's very bittersweet tone and the fact it happens at dusk, obviously result from Masuda's own feelings about the series' cancellation.

* CutShort: The series was luckier than others in that it was cut at the end of an important arc and on a semi-conclusive final note, but it still ended way earlier than the author had planned, leaving a lot of characters undevelopped − most notably Myaako, who was introduced as an important and enigmatic character but only got to appear in a few scenes.

* CentralTheme: Other than Masuda's usual theme of "learning to love yourself", this series focuses on the idea that your failures can become your strengths. And to an extent, that you should always try to learn from people who have a different experience.

* AscendedExtra: Handa and Inohara started as background characters and were only properly introduced in volume 2, but then they quickly became main characters alongside Hachi during the "Like Battle" arc, after which they stuck around and got further development. [[spoiler:Handa and Hachi even become a couple in chapter 40.]]
