1. Akane-banashi: Oh God, I am so worried. I suppose that no Rakugo is part of his exam training, but my internal feeling is that he is going to fail. The flashback that was teased is not going to shake that feeling.
2. Blue Box: Nice, wholesome chapter depicting a cute couple on a date. "Poor Akari" is the "Poor Hina" of the new arc.
3. My Hero Academia: You know endgame is approaching when everyone gathers at the fight scene. In this series they gathered as if it was literally Endgame, only thing missing was Bakugo saying "on your left" as he appears.
4. Mission: Yozakura Family: A very fun chapter. It would be great that in case of win, at the end of the battle we see the family actually handing down the prizes to all the lucky winners. Poor Kengo, nobody wanted his statue.
5. Sakamoto Days: That was a very fast reading. It's the king of fast-paced action manga, an anime would do wonders for this series.
6. Kill Blue: He managed to save the day. The "family to protect" speech sounds different when it is the bad guy who delivers it. Speaking of the bad guy, my impression of him improved, even though the bus lady remains my favourite character of his group.
7. Kagurabachi: Even if the chapter was all about two characters talking, it emitted a strong sense of urgency. Their dialogue was well structured, and the author knows when talk is over and it's time to move into action.
8. Astro Royale: It continues being good, but I'm worried of this non-violent approach. I hope there will be siblings who don't get convinced so easily and that the main character will learn a lesson for his naivety.
9. One Piece: That final line is huge, but the whole chapter was in preparation of that single line while I was expecting the full speech. Count me disappointed, I was expecting more from the hype surrounding this chapter.
10. Kyokuto Necromancer: I liked this chapter a little more than the first. It is still pretty generic, but it has that Aliens Area vibe about exorcising being a job among everything else. "Have pep in my step" is a weird catchphrase.
11. Green Green Greens: Pressure, taking too many risks and overexertion were all motives that I would have liked more for her performance decrease. "Injury" seems a lame way out for the author.
12. Nue's Exorcist: With this training arc: every chapter is divided in two halves: the first half, with the actual training and Nue's schemes, is farily interesting; the second half focused on romance is definitely not. I am sure the voting people think the exact opposite of me.
13. Me and Roboco: Not a great chapter, but had a couple of funny gags, like the "sneak sneak" bit and the splitting in half at her first attempt to bike. We'll see if the effort will pay off next week!
14. Dear Anemone: Still pretty uninteresting, but anything below this bordered on boring so I can't put this chapter lower than this.
15. Undead Unluck: Good that this unimpressive fight is coming to a close. Uzbeki readers will be happy that their language was mentioned in Shonen Jump.
16. Witch Watch: One of those comedy chapters that didn't click on me. The idea wasn't even that bad, but maybe f they moved somewhere outside and interacted with other characters it would have been funnier.
17. The Elusive Samurai: That was the definition of filler. All of this was to gain a significant boost of morale for the next battle, as if it was a stat.
18. Super Psychic Policeman Chojo: This being first in ToC means I read it before almost anything else on the magazine. So it sets up a low bar and now it is up to the other series to not fall down below the Chojo line!
19. Jujutsu Kaisen: What, the chapter after that falls immediately down the Chojo line? It would have been good if it could have been conveyed with half the words it had.
Retro binge update. Space Adventure Cobra: Read volume 8, where the A-team that Cobra spent all the previous volume gathering in order to kill the evil Salamander accomplishes the task...in just one chapter. Then best friend and member of the team Doug dies because, as it turns out, Salamander is still alive and is now trying to take over the world through religion. Cobra defeats him all alone (what did he need a team for anyway) and it is revealed that Salamander was none other than... Adolf Hitler who never died due to cyborgfication. Yes, for real. '80s were wild, but '70s were no less.
