[westabyss]

One Piece - since i was like 7/8 years old, i started following the manga with like 10
HeroAca - since ch. 1, am not as enthusiastic about the Manga as at the start but still follow it almost weekly
Black Clover - since ch. 1, is on pause but i'll get back to it
Haikyuu - only saw the first season of the Anime, it was fun but i am not really feeling the itch to continue it
Kimetsu no Yaiba - since around ch. 15
Yuuna - started with the first translation, dropped around ch. 100
Neverland - started ch. 1, dropped after the Goldy Pond arc
Act Age, Jujutsu, Chainsaw - since ch. 1, reading weekly
Samurai 8 - ch. 1, dropped after ch. 6 or something
WNL - ch. 1, dropped around ch. 80
Dr. Stone - ch. 1, dropped around ch. 60
Yozakura - ch. 1, dropped ch. 3
Hunter X Hunter - the Manga was somewhere in Chimera Ant Arc when i started it

So the only thing im reading weekly is Chainsaw, Jujutsu, KnY, Act Age and HeroAca. One Piece, i read in like 3-5 chapters sittings.

I am probably the only one here who hasn't read a single chapter of OP...ever. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't make myself read 900+ chapters. Maybe when I have more time, who knows.

Don't worry Jovan, I'm right there with you. Never read One Piece, and at this point, I highly doubt I'll ever have sufficient time to do it, even if I ever had the strong desire to do so

 

[Jovan]

Mitama seems to be finally getting an arc. Too bad Yozakura just did a similar one already.

Act-Age is going waaay too slow for me right now. Might put it on hold for now until more chapters are out.

 

[pamuchi]

MHA - right after the first season
BC - it was around episode 40 (anime) and started reading it from there
KnY - From chapter 110

On plan:
Jujutsu and act age

 

[Aeneas]

Japan knocked out of the Rugby World Cup.

Jump:

Spoiler

Also, idk what's going on with that Taisei ending.

 

[NeeNeen]

So I guess Double Taisei is taking place in the far future now.

Seriously, why even put a date on there if you're not gonna explain it. And I would've accepted "Oh, the stonemason made a typo" too.

Don't worry Jovan, I'm right there with you. Never read One Piece, and at this point, I highly doubt I'll ever have sufficient time to do it, even if I ever had the strong desire to do so

You know you don't HAVE to read the entire thing, right? You can easily just try a few chapters and quit after the first or second arc. The different story lines are pretty self-contained (especially in the beginning), so it won't leave you on a cliffhanger.

Act-Age is going waaay too slow for me right now. Might put it on hold for now until more chapters are out.

I have similar feelings about Act-Age.

In itself, I find the story pretty good and interesting, but the events are progressing very slowly (to the point that it is frustrating).

I never skip chapters of a manga no matter what, so it's a no from me.

Last 3 chapters together are basically something I would have seen in one chapter of a monthly manga. Not really surprised as to why it isn't having more momentum on TOC right now, there is too much buildup. I found it okay 5-8 chapters ago, but now?

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

With almost 10 chapters already....

¿David or Miitama?

 

[Jovan]

With almost 10 chapters already....

¿David or Miitama?

David easily by a wide margin.

 

[NeeNeen]

With almost 10 chapters already....

¿David or Miitama?

Mitama for me.

 

[Ottes]

With almost 10 chapters already....

¿David or Miitama?

Mitama. David has a better artstyle, but it goes to good chapters to not so good ones frequently. Mitama has being good for me from the start and is getting better each chapter.

 

[Stivie]

With almost 10 chapters already....

¿David or Miitama?

Mitama

 

[Aipom626]

Another amazing chapter of Double Taisei. Please survive. PLEASE.

That last page got me massively hyped for the upcoming chapter. I definitely wasn't expecting that twist at the end, so I hope we get to see some more glorious shenanigans for a few more weeks. It definitely feels like next week won't be the final chapter of the series, so I'd imagine we'll have at least 2 more chapters for Double Taisei.

With almost 10 chapters already....

¿David or Miitama?

Hands down David-kun. The first chapter of Miitama was alright this week, but the second one really fell flat for me. David-kun I thought was consistently funnier than Miitama, after factoring out all of the pee jokes.

 

[TxxT]

With almost 10 chapters already....

¿David or Miitama?

The one that has Manneken Pis

 

[TJQ15]

With almost 10 chapters already....

¿David or Miitama?

I really liked the first 10 chapters or so of David but after that I didn’t really mesh that well with the direction.
