It's not? Lol, a lot of people LOVE HQ!! and it's very well known and loved in the manga / anime community in general.
I don't know, obviously IMHO but when I see the votes for the weeks I always see him in the second half since the start of the double polls, or anyway really a lot distant from the top 5 votes.

We still in need for an new sport manga
The jump will not fail to debut a sports manga this year.
In 2019, she released 2 sports manga (Beast children and Double taisei).
The problem is Japanese readers who are not interested, and who have an audience for that genre.
Perhaps something closer to Act-age could attract an audience.

A lot of people enjoy Haikyuu!! here but the Nationals arc was a tad bit too long and might have curbed the enthusiasm of a few. Of course, the Final arc has been really strong but recently it's hard to compete with stuff like Shibuya Incident, Princess Iron Fan, Liberation War, Dimensional Infinity Fortress and International Assassins arcs. These are some of the prime arcs of their respective series, not to mention One Piece, which is big in and out of itself, Mitama, which is heavily favoured here, and the up and coming Undead Unluck and Mashle. Jump has been on a nice spot for the past weeks or months.

Quoting for comparision
This is nothing against you posting this poll but for weeks Im starting to doubt that we should take this poll into consideration because it seems that more and more people in the west are also participating in this, thus being useless because this is supposed to be from the japanese perspective. Even some users of here are participating on this poll which is sad because we have one for ourselves.

I know its just for fun but sadly this poll its getting more "rigged" by external users.

Ngl I really liked Mori King. It didn't feel like a gag at all and Hasegawa art is kinda cute.

Moriking felt very kid-friendly to me, even compared to other recent gag manga.

The chapter itself was enjoyable and felt pretty well-constructed but I definitely get the impression it's targetting a younger audience (at least in regards to boys).

Man some of these chapters is gonna be hell waiting two weeks for more (Dr Stone, MHA, Undead Unluck...) The new villain in Guardian of the Witch seems to have pretty cool powers, hope this fight is good even if I have little interest in the series as a whole at this point. Feel really bad for Nanao ;-;

Moriking was fine I guess, has a rather nice vibe even if I didn't find it particularly funny.

I've enjoyed more with Mori King that with Agravity Boys and Mitama. I hope it continues that way in next weeks.

Pretty hard week to pick a top-5. Almost everything has been great. Even Guardian of the Witch has been decent this week.

In other news, if we don't get a countdown in the next 2 chapters of Neverland, then I'm going to start thinking it will get a new arc.

If he goes for an informative route and has some curiosities about insects it can be interesting (like seiton gakuen, without ecchi).

Almost sure Neverland will be the 3rd series ending to leave room for the 3rd new series.

There’s literally nothing else to do in the series. It’s the only series I can see realistically being able to wrap up in 1 or 2 chapters

Yozakura was ok this week, I like that different family members are getting more time but revealing the stuff about the mutation and the melodrama about it felt like a bit much at once.

Mitama was good as always

Agravity was good as well, got some laughs and made progress towards the main goal. The time machine being the one from DBZ was a nice touch

UxU was also great, really enjoying this arc

Mash was ok, it didn't get any laughs but I did like the action

I've basically tuned out of guardian at this point

Moriking was surprisingly really good, had some laughs and was a little heart warming. That being said, the next few chapters are really going to decide it's fate. Based off first chapters, I would say Mash>Mitama>Agravity, but based on where they are now my preference is Mitama>Agravity>Mash so who knows

TPN feels super close to the end, and assuming that we don't get an extended human world arc, I could see it being the first of the established series to end. Now we just have to wait a whole month for the next chapter. KnY feels very close to the end too, I doubt were getting an extension after this chapter. Really liked JJK and AA this week, and Dr Stone had a pretty good chapter after feeling kinda stagnant for a while

To whoever deleted my comment, I apologize. I have a habit of writing way too much and I’ll do my best to curb it. Lemme try again:

HeroAca was too short, I can’t believe I have to wait two weeks, though I do have a prediction.

WNL is really not making the best case for multiple routes for each girl right now.

Yuuna’s spoilers sound pretty good, calling back to IMO the series’s best chapter. I’m really curious about this next future.

Moriking was surpisingly decent. I had no expectations for it but it can be a rather solid comfy little series. Maybe not a gag powerhouse but could provide some nice chuckles here and there.

Fantastic chapters for my big 3. Jujutsu's fights are so damn sexy in a rough way. Chainsaw continues the madness and hype and Act-Age hits some strange emotional beats.

Mitama was kinda....Halloween this week.

Undead was solid. I really want this to succeed now.

Agravity was strange, but nothing bad. I liked the Grass stuff

Is MASHLE aiming to be a Battle comedy? Seems like it.

Guardian definatly has potential in it's everything, it's just that the execution hasn't been all that stellar. This chapter was a little better I guess

Also, TPN is ending very soon it seems.

Also, for Render readers, that Shadow Mio page was hype.

AND WHO'S READY TO EXPIRENCE CHISAKI'S S U F F E R I N G AGAIN?

I really liked Moriking tbh. Not sure it's locked into being a gag series either, it could technically take a zatchbell-like spin.

MoriKing was.... well, it wasn't bad, and it went by quickly enough, but I didn't really find anything that interesting about it. I will keep reading for now because I have no reason not to, but I found it kind of bland.

Moriking: I like it but then again most first chapters are fun. The following ups are important, first is just there to catch the attention of readers. Gotta say though I like Shota, superadorable. Same for his Sis, basically Shinpachi as highschool girl, I can dig that. XD

OP: ..........Yeah, air's out. I just want this arc to be over and done with, geez.

Dr. Stone: Someone got told by the Editor to stuff the travel arc, lolz. XD

Kimetsu: Aw, no! It's going the way I hoped it would not go! >.<

Haikyu!: Seems we got an Emperor besides a King on the field.^^

TPN: Kay, whatever. I know I am supposed to feel happy for the kids but I just don't. Maybe if they had lost more of their siblings and friends it would feel heavier but so it just feels, like, there it is and it just happened like that.

BC: Not reading it, clicked on it by accident read something about "Princess Water" had a flashback to a series where the Princess "holy water" (yes you guess it right what is is) is used as Holy Water for real to heal wounds and fertilize the ground or end fires and I noped out after one split second.

WNL: Why in the name of God couldn't we have such an arc earlier?! And I am not only talking about the Sawako arc who got a superadorable Mother, hot damn! I mean this Boardgame! Like it was supposed to be a big thing of Rizu but we never really got to see or hear much about it in the entire series because it was always about the relationships of the girls with Nariyuki and not about the girls themselves, building them up as more than just potential girlfriends for MC with some sidequest that MC can help with to get into their hearts. Ugh. Anyway, I liked it, Rizu taking charge and getting help and seeing all 3 working so earnestly to make a good game is really nice to see. I am just disappointed that this happened when the series is basically over.

JjK: Man, cool fight! I love it when simple tricks can play a huge role and not the regular "muahaha, I teleported behind you!" "No, I teleported behind YOU!" "NO, I teleported behind you!", I mean that is fun if played for laughs or if the "battle skills" are just so important and designed to work for the series that way, but it is nice to see how "regular" things can make a difference in JjK fights.

MBH: This arc is starting to annoy me. Why do Super Villains and Super Monsters always have to be so ugh-...

Mashle: Lol, is Mashle immune to Magic, I wonder? It might explain why he never had any of his own. Also the other guy totally fucked up and he has no idea how much he is about to get MASHED by Mashle after that tiny accident. XDDD

AA: I really liked that. It shows how much Kei is still an "idealist" at heart in an industry that is all about numbers, ratings, sales. I hope she will find her way through it but I fear it gonna be hard for her with all the new restrictions in her life as a "Star".

Mitama: Nice, more of this please.

CSM: DAAAAAAAAAMN! Makima is like WOW and BONKERS and DAYUM while Santa is all AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH and WHAAAAAAAAAAT and MINDBLOWN and you will totally get what I mean when you read it/gonna read it, lol. Also Denji is best doggo, good boy! <3

AB: God, I like it so much when the random boys are pushed to the sideline as jokers while the "dream team" is talking real plans for realz. Loved the three interpretations and can't wait to see how far they gonna come with their task. Hope the other random boys get serious themselves in the future chapters.

UU: Gotta say the Chapter Cover totally fits the first half of the series name, lol. Really cool how we see "additional information" about Spoils power without outright telling the readers what it means, meaning they either have to figure it out themselves or get told later in future chapters when those infos got used against Spoil. I also liked how Andy used Izumo's Power to turn all the Zombies into Bipedal Bombs. Then again, that only works so well in this certain situation. Also Teacher really was cool, damn what a girl.

Yozakura: YES! I wanted this all the time! Why did you wait for 30+ chapters for that? Man, concentration on one Family part and not because of MC getting stronger or for being played for laughs but because of the Family part him/herself! Adding a rational new amount of new named characters, aka one, to care about why they matter to said Family and what MC can do to help out, make it cute, make it snappy, add some whacky comedy situation and end it on high drama in-coming panel, nice!

GotW: This City feels far more real than the other one. Maybe they should have clarified that there are like Fridge Cities making up the large wall and Inside Cities and Villages who got their own not so high walls. Like the new Witch and her Guardian, it is a good combo. Still going pretty quick-paced though. Not sure if this means it gonna join the U19 club as well or if this is just meant to get to the juicer part faster to prevent the downfall from the series.

All in all I didn't had that much chapters that I enjoyed a lot. Will be hard to fill up the Top5 slots.

Moriking was oddly entertaining. I think it did a decent job with it's first chapter introducing the MCs and the concept and setting the basis for more plot. AB was extra sluggish. UU was great this week, it balanced some drama with action pretty well. Knowing more about Nanao was something I wanted from Yozakura but I didn't expect it to be on a painful note, it's definitely going to be even more heartbreaking. Also, I really like Taiyou, he's been growing on me more and more. Great to see that moment finally happening in TPN, it's all I waited for after the series started to decline in quality. AA is on its way to develop Yonagi and her character even more and I'm here for it. MHA and JJK were action packed and pretty good too.

I did get the feeling that Promised Neverland's got very little left to go. No countdown yet makes me unsure, I know not everyone does them but I feel like we'd be more than just guessing if it was ending in 2 chapters. Maybe it'll get an epilogue in the 2nd or 3rd GIGA issues, who knows.
