Ghostwriter was pretty nice. Then again we're only on chapter 1 so who knows. But godamn is the art nice smooth af.

Bone Collection was kinda eh...

Moriking was solid. But chapter 2 is still the best so far.

Good chapters for each of my trio; AA, JJK, and CSM.

Solid Mashle and Agravity.

A really good UxU. Now there's some intrigue going on with the plot..

And thus ends KnY. But i'll admit this chapter kinda felt all over the place. But some parts were cute.

I think it's over for Guardian.

It's not like the Romcom chapters this week were bad or anything...far from it in fact, but......seeing those kind of things just kill me inside.

BUT MITAMAMAMAMAMAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

 

[Tymano]

The first chapter of Ghost Writer was pretty good, the last time I felt quite this way about a new chapter was with Saiyuuki's first chapter, hopefully this doesn't go the same way.

Also, considering how the latest chapter of Mitama ended, it seems very clear that it is ending sometime soon (sadly).

 

[Lil meen]

Seems that demon slayer ending is already trending at number 2 in japan with currently 52k tweets

 

[Zetsyn]

Just read Paradox, and I was definitely interested by the premise and it was nice to see Date back in action. Also, I thought the chapter had really good reaction images that could be used lol, especially with the editor guy.

https://twitter.com/search?q=鬼滅完結&src=trend_click #3 right now.
https://twitter.com/search?q=鬼滅の刃&src=trend_click #10 right now.
I think the fake Twitter account thing is also trending pretty high as well.

Also, now that Kimetsu is finally over, I'd love to call attention to @Zetsyn's signature, because I'm pretty sure this is exactly how the higher-ups at Shueisha are feeling right about now. And maybe Time Paradox Ghost Writer being on the cover can play to it's benefit, enticing new readers to check the series out. Speaking of, I'm gonna read this after WNL!

lol I find it amusing someone noticed the shitpost and how fitting for it to be on KnY's final chapter. Speaking of which, it just really makes me crave for a SoL work from Gotouge. I was personally fine with the ending, but I can understand those who weren't really feeling it.

Mashle and UU were really enjoyable.

I saw myself being more interested in JJK more than I thought I would, and Chainsawman was ... Chainsawman.

Wasn't feeling Moriking as much as the previous chapters but eh.

Overall, a solid week for Jump I would think.

 

[OniluapL]

I am... honestly kinda scared for Mitama's future right now. Love the manga, and I hope it's just a new development, but I can't shake the feeling it's wrapping up soon.

 

[SiMidori]

I really enjoy Time Paradox Ghostwriter, best art since Tokyo Shinobi Squad in my opinion
I thought bone collection could be interesting but now it's turning into a gag, not my cup of tea..
And it seems UU is really good right now, might read it back.

For Kimetsu no Yaiba, this chapter was okay, I understand the critics
I'm really excited to see Gotoge Sensei next work

 

[Minsel]

why everybody guessing when something sad happens its gotta be the end. Didn't gintama have serious stuff?

Mitama literally pulled the same move that Teenage Renaissance! David did before it ended. I really hope it's just moving into a serious arc and not ending, but there's a precedent (even if it's kind of flimsy, lol).

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Mitama really felt like endgame this chapter, maybe Yozakura a bit too, but it could just be setup for another arc. I liked this week's Yozakura, but feel it should've been two chapters, would've liked a full fight against Me, her abilities were cool. Time Paradox Ghost Writer was fantastic, It really gripped me, definitely makes up for Moriking and Bone Collection, neither of which I'm too hot on. Looking forward to chapter 2.

 

[Aipom626]

This week's top 5:
1. Mitama Security - This chapter had end-game vibes for sure, but hopefully it's just a quick arc and things will go back to normal after. I'll be sad if Mitama ends, but it's been a great ride so far that I hope isn't going to end yet.
2. Act-Age - Best chapter in quite a while. It's refreshing to see Yonagi with her normal person life again and the high schoolers.
3. Moriking - Great character introduction chapter. Reading Moriking makes me really wish Spring Weapon was translated.
4. Unluck Undead - Interesting character introduction, plus the color page was fantastic. Can't wait to see next chapter.
5. Mashle - Good ending to that fight, even though I was eager to see lunatic-face get totally pummeled. A bit sad that it doesn't seem like spiky-haired dude is going to tone down at all though.

Best of the rest:
6. Mission: Yozakura Family - Nice details about the family. Pretty funny chapter, and it was good to see Mutsumi playing a bit bigger of a role in the chapter. I hope the author starts making some chapters where she is the main focus rather than always Taiyo.
7. We Never Learn - Seeing Rizu in that dress was the only reason this ended up this high. Other than that, the chapter felt pretty hollow in terms of romantic development. Uruka route > Rizu route
8. Time Paradox Ghost Writer - Not a bad first chapter. The ending part was interesting, and while I understand the importance of the explanations in the first part of the chapter, it wasn't particularly exciting or captivating. I think next week will be more interesting though based off of what they did with the girl's character.
9. Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san - Pretty interesting, albeit sad, chapter. This definitely feels like truly end-game developments. I can't see how it'll go back to random ecchi SOL chapters after this.
10. Bone Collection - The art somehow seems to be getting even worse. The fight scene was pretty bad too. This is screaming U19 to me.
11. Agravity Boys - Not enough Higher Dimensional Being.
12. Chainsawman - Waiting for the battle to end.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

This is probably the top-5 I've been less sure in months but I'll be sticking with it.

1. Act-age
2. Undead Unluck
3. Jujutsu Kaisen
4. Chainsawman
5. My Hero Academia

Still thinking in swapping Chainsawman or MHA for Kimetsu or Moriking

 

[Stivie]

1) Kimetsu no yaiba (end)
2) Chainsaw man
3) jujutsu kaisen
4) Time paradox ghost Whiter
5) Spyxfamily

 

[CrOF]

Obvious comparison to Bakuman, but I liked TPGW's start more. Despite having sci-fi elements it somehow manages to be more grounded with the MC's struggles to get a serialization being a pretty strong focus. Not super impressed but I enjoyed it.

 

[Blink22]

Ghost Writer was fantastic. The chapter gave me callbacks to Shokugeki, MHA and TPN first chapters where just reading the beginning gives you that feeling where you know this series is going to be a successful hit. Haven’t felt this way about a debut chapter since those three.

 

[NyanPower]

Seems that demon slayer ending is already trending at number 2 in japan with currently 52k tweets

It’s actually at 272K tweets now

 

[Lil meen]

Time paradox ghostwriter- A manga with a load of potential and that has so many opportunities. While this chapter was amazing I need more chapters to truly judge it.
TPN- Decent chapter but I felt this death impact was some what rushed in terms of the chemistry between ray and his actual mother.
demon slayer- Good ending, can see why people love it and can see why people hate it but while I would’ve rather seen the main cast as adults I actually enjoyed this chapter but maybe that’s due to the connection I have to this series. I just hope the anime expands on it. Welp at least I can look forward to the movie, future spin offs, and the game coming out next year
Mori king- this series is kind of growing on me. I actually am getting to like this series as it made me laugh a few times. Honestly hope it keeps its slice of life nature and don’t randomly turn into a battle manga. I can also see a more serious story line and some feels down the line with this manga.
Mashle- Amazing chapter. This series is really getting better and better and I see this coming into its own. Personally my favorite comedy manga in jump so I hope it don’t get axed.
MHA- Things are really getting interesting and I am extremely excited for where this arc is going. I can’t believe I’m saying this but this is currently my favorite series on jump right now. I remember watching the first season and not liking it. Glad I got through it because it has really gotten good.
Dr stone- it looks like we are getting our rival character and things seem to be tensing back up. Still not a huge fan of these last few chapters because they haven’t really been interesting me.
Undead unluck- Best chapter in the series. Apart from it being problematic it is my favorite series from 2020
Act age- Amazing chapter and I am really excited for the next arc. Just hope it’s just as good as the last 3 arcs.
Chainsawman- I love the creativity in this manga and this fight seen is pretty good. Just can’t wait till we go back to addressing makima and her true intentions.
Mitama security- if they end this before gotw then imma be angry. Just hope it is a serious arc because this manga is extremely funny to me

Everyone, if you wish to discuss KnY's final chapter in more detail, please do so in the KnY section. Thanks.

 

[101nemesis]

Ghost Writer was definitely good. It kept me reading and the art was solid. The MC was very likable.
Mashle was great as well.

 

[Newkerzy]

Speaking of Ghostwriter, no one's gonna mention the obvious MHA influence?

What was the obvious MHA influence?
