Sorry if I broke the rules. It was a comment on the newbie lists people were posting.
No no, I'm not saying you broke a rule, but your question can easily lead to fighting, which is why I don't think it's appropriate.
Can I ask you what do you think about Mashle?
I personally didn’t like it all the way back from Ch1. Now, I do have some sort of an action manga bias and I understand gags are usually a hit or miss. I was just curious of the reason for the appeal, imo it doesnt seem to be as creative and witty as the other gag mangas in the series. But the appeal exists for some reason for many people and also from the ToC placements seems fairly obvious to many.
To go straight to the point, Mashle to me fun. Mash is a good character, he is aloof and cool while also being inadvertently funny and caring. The comedy so far has been pretty good. Komoto's art has also quickly evolved and he has shown he is capable of great stuff. He is able to create panels that give us the sense of greatness like the ones in chapter 14. While the premise is simple and bares similarities to One Punch Man and Harry Potter, Mashle has its own quirks. If I have to give it any critique it's that I want more of the supporting cast, Lance has shown he will probably be the one to support Mash the most and his friendhsip with Mash seems like it can be developed into something nice, but there's also other characters to explore.
oh great, more exorcists
not bad, but isn't this too similar to Hinomaru first chapter?
this is pretty much why imo
Are there even going to be several more serialisation rounds? We already had 7 new titles this year, and we know there's a mini-series coming up. If they stick to their maximum of 11 new series a year, that means we can only expect 3 more newbies until November.
That's a really dark interpretation. My idea was that the girl will meet up with the MC, he will explain to her what happened and they'll figure out what to do from there.
Welp. Guess that's the sign that I need to binge and finish it.

The MC is charming and likable. It's a series that doesn't take itself too seriously while also parodying Harry Potter using very clear inspirations from OPM, Mob and definitely follows in the footsteps of Beelzebub here in WSJ with how it switches between action and comedy.
Honestly I never thought of that idea, but that would probably be pretty interesting, though I think it's pretty unlikely. Personally my ideal studio for CSM would be Shaft I think, which is honestly probably just as unlikely.
You're better off asking for David Pro since a lot of staff members have moved there from Shaft. Unless you want to see a CSM series directed by Shinbo which I'm also on board for.
While I hope this is the last time we see a new straight up comedy manga for the rest of the year and they start to focus on sports, action, and more unusual jump manga (alternative battle, thriller, and game manga) I feel as though shonen jump set it up perfectly. Mashle going the parody/ action route of comedy, agrivity boys going for the gross out/ ecchi route of comedy, mitama going for the insane/ random route of comedy, and mori king going for the light hearted side of comedy. (Note I dropped yozakura early on so I don’t know if it had changed but by the looks of it is a light hearted/ action oriented comedy). Also while I don’t fully consider undead unluck a comedy it does have a lot of black and ecchi humor in it. All in all while I am not a gag manga fan I still actually enjoy most of the gag series on jump. None of them except mashle are really my favorites but I feel they have a perfect place on jump,
