This makes it shonen jump’s 2nd longest running romcom

 

[Koni]

Jump is officially out. We all move.

MHA: The quickest chapter I've read in a while. Finally, the protagonists enter the fray. I wonder if Todoroki and Uraraka will join in as well. And how's the other group faring? This is getting exciting!

WNL: Alright, still just focusing on Fumino. Chapter was cute, I like the shenanigans in this chapter. Route's still easily on pace to be the best so far. Keep this up, Tsutsui. But also improve on it as well.

 

[Gilroygladbouy]

He’ll come back at some point. He himself said that he vows to finish HxH before he dies.

Do I think he’s going to finish it? Nope. But I do think he’ll come back a few times before retiring or giving up

Oh sorry should’ve specified that I meant I don’t think he is returning this year. I am sure he will return but not this year.

 

[lobito180]

What do you guys think about this? It would be awesome if Manga Plus finally released a subcription service and added new series to it, other than backlog series.

 

[RafGL]

Guardian of the Witch should be ending in 2 weeks.

Spoiler: IDs

OP 6951-whatever (4)

So basically, next week Neverland ends in 28, Guardian of the Witch ends the week after that in 29, and something from axebait will end in 30 but we won't know what.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

The trio's 6/6 rankings are nice to see. Mashle even went up a place, and Yozakura's hold was very good. Yozakura and Undead had that weird one day drop day 3 last time, so much better showing than that lol, wonder how their day 4's will compare.

 

[Newkerzy]

What do you guys think about this? It would be awesome if Manga Plus finally released a subcription service and added new series to it, other than backlog series.

As long as M+ hasn’t figured out the right price and means of payment for each respective countries, no.

Just a few days ago, something big is potentially going on regarding this in my country. It depends on how it plays out, but I’m really hopeful about it.

And there it is. Since it's a newbie, a break is extremely unlikely. We're looking at 19 chapters over 3 volumes if true. It did just barely enough to escape the clutches of infamy. Or maybe that's the worst thing that can happen to it. It won't be in that special tier of axed manga - it was just another flop that had loads of potential.A lot of us were hyped for this...

Man, I really like the ID method.

Now we wait 4 more weeks to see what's ending next. That's 3 of 4 down.

 

[Kobī-Stan]

Mashle: I can't freaking breathe! I'm hoping on the bandwagon!

It is definitely going to be either Agravity or Mitama. I’m hoping it’s Mitama because although I find it ok I prefer Agravity Boys a lot more. Just my opinion but it could really go either way.

 

[Azure Warrior]

Chris is a lucky bastard.

That is all I will say about the new Agravity Boys.

 

[Zetsyn]

Chainsawman: Really liking the change of pace we've been getting as of late ... There's no way something insane happens right after this, right? right?

Undead really knows how to hype stuff up, even though half the time I have to scan back to understand what's going on lol.

Mashle was the epitamy of the "Me and the Boys" meme.

Definitely supreme, absolute endgame vibes from Mitama.

Lastly, I can't believe Moriking learned horn attack. Megahorn when.

[haijihusbando]

Really happy to see more character interaction and development in this week's Mashle chapter, even if it was a slower transitory one. It's something I previously felt a teensy bit lacking in Mashle, but as time goes on the side characters along with Mash are starting to feel more substantial which is awesome. I'm definitely growing very attached to this group of lovable idiots - that one panel with them all together gave me goosebumps.

Moriking had a hilarious and very cute chapter again this week, the king keeps delivering. This manga continues to deliver wholesome energy and I can't get enough of it.

I'm still interested to see where TPGW goes, and while it admittedly hasn't quite lived up to expectations from the first chapter, I still think there's a lot of potential to go. Akaishi and Aino are my favourite characters so far, very likeable personalities and great character designs. I honestly don't get the discontent for this manga I see in this forum so early on, it really isn't that bad.

 

[MysticCatto]

Agravity Boys is hilarious this week. TPGW had an interesting development, and I honestly can't guess what's going to happen in it's next chapter. Mitama does feel like it's ending too. Superb chapters all around.

 

[Tamil]

Any raws for the Senran freaks one shot?

 

[Aipom626]

Pretty strong week for most of the series I read this week. This week's top 5:
1. Mitama Security - Joh is such a great guy, and seeing Rena freak out was hilarious. Hopefully we won't be saying goodbye to another spirit-based series in a few weeks.
2. Undead Unluck - Quite a few well-done twists there at the end. Can't wait for the next chapter.
3. Mashle - Lemon had me in stitches with her part. The supporting cast is starting to come together nicely to complement Mash.
4. Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san - Sad to see the series finally pass on since there's more things I wish they would've touched upon or resolved. Was a bit surprised that the ending seemed as rushed as it was, but I'm at least satisfied with the end result.
5. Chainsaw Man - Power and Denji were hilarious. Aki was giving me feels this chapter too.

The best of the rest:
6. Act-Age - Really loved this chapter, especially how it was largely told from the perspective of one of the other girls.
7. Moriking - Hilarious chapter. I'm glad people are acknowledging the fact that Moriking's different rather than just ignoring it.
8. Mission: Yozakura Family - Decently funny chapter. Taiyo starting to become bona fide OP is pretty amusing to watch.
9. We Never Learn - Decent chapter, but still not as good as the Uruka arc. At least it seems like Fumino might actually be the main focus of her arc, which is more than could be said about Rizu's arc.
10. Time Paradox Ghostwriter - Main problem I'm having with this series is the MC. I'm just not really finding him likeable. The girl is good, the assistants seem fine, but watching the MC just gets me irritated.
11. Agravity Boys - Not as bad as most Agravity Boys chapters usually end up, but it still didn't do too much for me.
12. Bone Collection - Bad humor, bad art, bad chapter

 

[savethecat]

MHA continues its hype train

TPGW had an interesting development. I like where things are going.

TPN had one of its better chapters in a while. However it was still quite a mess to get to this point, so it still doesn’t change my overall opinions on the final arc

 

[Lil meen]

Jujutsu kaisan- So I have caught up to this manga a couple days ago and I have to say this is one of my favorite series running in jump. The action scenes are absolutely gorgeous, the characters are extremely likable and unique, the world building and power system is well written and very complex yet not confusing, the art is good, the character designs are extremely appealing, just like with CSM the lighthearted moments are just as important as the action, and the villains are believable.

Chainsawman- This chapter hit me right in the feels. This is probably my 3rd favorite chapter in this series. One thing I absolutely enjoy about chainsawman and is that the slower moments aren’t just there just to fill in a gap between another huge arc but they actually flesh out characters and they feel just as important as the main arcs. The character development of Aki was absolutely incredible this chapter and this has made me attached to the characters so much more. It sucks because I know something terrible and tragic is going to happen sooner or later. This is why for me personally chainsawman has the best writing in shonen jump right now.

MHA- The battle against shigaraki has finally begun. I like how they didn’t make shigaraki unbeatable even though he still is insanely strong right now. I can definitely see this fight between shigaraki being one of MHA’s best fights. At this point how this fight will go is extremely unpredictable as I wouldn’t be surprised if the heroes lost this one.

TPN- I’m actually not disappointed by where it is going right now personally. Honestly it gave me a bit more respect for the last chapter. I think that the cost was believable since she is extremely close to her family and she clearly loves them more than anything. I just hope the ending she just doesn’t magically get her memories back for no reason even though I am 85% sure that is how it will end.

Dr stone- Yes I like where this is going. I am very hype for the next chapter now seeing where it is going. Also looking back at where they started it’s nice to see how far they have gotten.

TPGW- This is kind of going down in quality a bit in my opinion. While I do like bakuman type manga and I would personally be fine if it went that route the main thing that got me hooked to the series was it’s unpredictability. I hope it goes back to the time machine and unpredictable route to set it apart from series like bakuman.

UxU- can we just appreciate this masterful world building. This manga has got me extremely hyped for the next chapter. Also after seeing that scene with Andy and Fuuko I hope they work on the characters because that is personally my only gripe with this series.

Mashle- I promise you once this becomes an anime this series will have a jojo level meme base. I’m so glad this is selling well because this manga is fantastic. I can’t wait for the next chapter.

Moriking- Alright I will admit I love this series now. I definitely see this series is going the dr slump route as an episodic gag manga about a strong being causing normal people to be weirded out.

AA- Yes this next arc is about to be god tier. This chapter really does set up what is in store for yongai in the future. Also that epic entrance by yongai was absolutely amazing.

 

[FireFantasyVI]

Yozakura meh, another new character thrown at the wall instead of doing anything with pre-existing characters. The chapter was better than I thought, however it's not doing anything for me to get hope in the series

Mitama was great, I loved the basketball gag, however it feels primed for ending now, setting up a final big bad, and hinting at Rena and Mitama's backstories. You will be missed

Agravity was alright, didn't really get any laughs but can't really complain either

Undead was wicked sick, another excellent lore chapter, Galaxy looks amazing

Mashle was good, I'm glad to see the supporting cast getting to shine. I'm still not the biggest fan, but if it keeps putting out chapters like this I can see myself finally joining the hype train

Guardian was meh, feels like it's ready to end on an "and the adventure continues" ending

Moriking was great, possibly it's funniest chapter yet

Bone Collection was okay, still not anything great, but I can't bring myself to hate it

Ghost Writer was okay, I like the assistants, but the ending was just kinda frustrating

One Piece, MHA, Haikyuu, and JJK were all great this week. I love OP, but it just isn't meant to be read on a biweekly basis. I'm glad TPN did something with the promise, but giving it a whole two chapters to be set up and resolved doesn't feel very satisfying. I haven't read the new Yuuna, however I did see some spoilers, and it does feel like it could've used an extra chapter or two, but I'm fine with this. I guess the ending feels more sudden because I never really thought it was going to end for real.
