Why the heck did the Mankin manga come to an abrupt conclusion anyway? I heard it was due to the lack of popularity...but seriously, surely Mankin isn't inferior to Naruto and Bleach?

Popularity and quality are different things.
The way that Shaman King dragged on for a long time, I can see how many Jump readers would have lost interest along the way. I don't remember where the storylines of Naruto or Bleach were at the time that Shaman King ended, so I can't comment on which series was better in comparison.
The only thing I remember is that Shaman King spent its last weeks way at the back of the magazine (where roughly, the popular series are in the front, the unpopular ones in the back, determined by voting postcards sent in by the readers).

I remember reading that Takei was asked to wrap the story up in a certain number of weeks, but he didn't, since he wanted to do the ending properly. (I don't know how valid that is.) It took a few years, but he will get to do his ending now in the special edition rerelease. That probably won't turn Shaman King into a megahit again (though it might boost Takei's new project), but it will make the fans happy at least.
