It really reminds me of author of Shaman King and Attack on Titan.
Shaman King got cancelled like 20 chapters or so before it was finished. So instead of giving it some weird ending, he just left it on cliffhanger and give a very weird hint in form of mandarin, which supposedly had meaning of "to be continued". So people was making theories until it turned out after 2-4 years or so author found other magazine that let him finish his manga. And man it was worth it (the ending is awesome).
Author of Attack on Titan originally pitched his idea to Shounen Jump but was rejected. They told him the art style was too repelling and story was too gruesome so they told him to change his art and make it more friendly and well, shounen like. So he said thank you and looked for different published unless one agreed to publish his manga in his original idea. And who would guessed it. It become a hit in Japan.
It really show the flaw in manga industry. How formulaic and focused on profit most of magazines are. Like movies, most people don't care to tell a good story first nowadays. The first concern is, if it will sell.
