What a time to catch up properly with Chainsawman, this weeks chapter was insane!!!! JJK and MHA wasn’t playing around either, top stuff. These 3 are leading the charge right now for jump.

Also this weeks chapter of ghostwriter single handily save it for me otherwise i was ready to drop it. The time travel aspect is far more interesting than anything to do with the MC (in my opinion)

Now to read the rest!

 

[SharkBait]

where my taiyo x michibata fanart at, like, i wont lie its the whole reason i read the manga now, michibata is everything i love, and taiyo noticing him gives me lots of joy.

 

[Koni]

Hard Boiled Cop and Dolphin is fun! I think this came out at a bad time though. I dont blame anyone for this, as nobody could’ve foreseen current events, but still. I’d probably enjoy this more if it wasn’t for the timing. Still, it’s intriguing. I like the cast so far.

 

[Wookitake]

Really liked HBCaD (or just HBCD), specially the art. But it is still a bit early to tell how the story will be, let's wait.

 

[SharkBait]

Final panel of agravity boys....maybe its ending soon.

 

[Zetsyn]

Err, Shakunetsu was alright for me. Nothing bad, nothing extraordinary either. Been ages since I last read something from Tamura, so we'll see how this goes. It was kinda fun though.
Personally, I felt last week was kinda weak in terms of chapters, but my goodness, MHA, Jujutsu, and Chainsawman. Jesus, those were some chapters to take in.

For Ghost Writer, even though I did read the spoilers, the chapter still had me in awe. It's completely rekindled my interest in the series, and that is some way to end a volume.

Edit: Forgot about Magu, I need that Flower Magu Plushie ASAP.

 

[Lil meen]

 

[Stivie]

It's not possible.

Tamura must have watched bright from Netflix to get the idea for the Hard Boiled Cop and Dolphin.

 

[haijihusbando]

Shakunetsu no Niraikanai: I had fun reading this first chapter, the internal monologue was great. Don't know how I feel yet. I guess I can see it being controversial in the West but aside from that I thought it was fine.

My god I absolutely loved this TPGW chapter, best chapter so far. Despite the mixed reception here from chapter 2 onwards I've personally been enjoying it consistently, but as it now ventures into more serious, 'paradox' territory I'm more excited than ever. A great way to present this twist, and I'm eagerly looking forward to see how this plays out.

Magu-chan had another great second chapter, I laughed and aww'd a lot reading it. Magu-chan is adorable, enough said.

Very hyped to see what happens next in Undead Unluck, Mashle, and JJK. Also one hell of a CSM chapter, absolute insanity.

My ranking this week:

1. Jujutsu Kaisen
2. Chainsawman
3. Mashle
4. My Hero Academia
5. Time Paradox Ghostwriter
6. Act-age
7. Ayakashi Triangle
8. Haikyuu
9. Moriking
10. Black Clover
11. Dr.Stone
12. Magu-chan: God of Destruction
13. Hardboiled Cop and Dolphin
14. Undead Unluck
15. Mission of Yozakura Family
16. We Never Learn
17. Agravity Boys
18. Mitama
19. Bone's Collection
Absent. One Piece

What an amazing week. Hardboiled Cop and Dolphin is 13th in my rank, but I've liked a lot the chapter 1. If it is "low" is only because almost every Jump manga this week has been very amazing. Same situation for Undead Unluck: 14th but it also had a very great chapter.

Special kudos to Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsawman. The chapters in these two manga have been extraordinary.

 

[Davisgn2]

I loved the first chapter of Shakunetsu. I know there will be people complaining unnecessarily, but, great comedy and reading.
Also the chapter of Chainsaw-Man was fabulous, fujimoto is a genius.

 

[Halloween]

I thought hard-boiled cop and dolphin was okay. The humor was pretty decent. I liked the art.

Not my favorite of the new series, though.

 

[BX-02BLODIA]

I said it once and i'll say it again:
I NEED A MAGU-CHAN PLUSH!

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Hard Boiled was fine I guess, I liked dolphin guy but the rest I could take or leave for the most part. Still really have no clue what the last series to end could be if one still is, none of them seem to be in the position to end. Bone Collection had probably the best chapter so far but not good enough that I'll vote for it probably. Can't say I'm thrilled with this twist in Ghost Writer though, just not what I wanted I guess. Still really liking Ayakashi Triangle. Guess we'll see next week with Roboko, but I think Ayakashi is definitely the best of this batch.

The new Time Paradox chapter makes me wonder something.

Spoiler

has Jump ever experienced an mangaka dying before while they had a series running

The question isn’t about Time Paradox itself, but added a spoiler just in case ppl who haven’t read the new chapter yet don’t want to be spoiled

 

[Koni]

Time Paradox is injecting it’s science fiction element back. Twist seems like it’ll controversial, but it’ll make things more interesting. This is why I tend to play a slightly longer game. Speaking of that, Ayakashi had a weaker chapter, but the ending of it has me intrigued. Then again, I have a headache that’s really bothering me, so it’s hard for me to really react and think.

 

[SharkBait]

Has any manga done over 5mln in print with v3 or is TPGW exaggerating?

 

[MysticCatto]

Shakunetsu was fun, but not my fave of the new series (magu chan is my fave)

MHA, JJk, csm, tpgw were godly this week. But not just them, the rest of the magazine is doing great too. I guess the part in Bakuman when they say authors step up theur game when new series are launching is true after all huh.

Tbh, I think I'm fine with the roster as is. There's enough variety and unique art and stortytelling from each series, although we still need a new spokon

[FireFantasyVI]

I nearly closed right out of Yozakura after seeing the first page. Of all the characters to use, they bring him back? The chapter was roughly in line with it's previous chapters, I'm just disappointed after last chapter actually used the family a little

Mitama was great, I really do love this cast of characters. Kinda felt like an "and that's all folks" and then end next chapter, but it could also not be ending. I really don't know what's ending, but I can't complain if Mitama doesn't

Agravity was good, I wish we got more gags for the training but it was still enjoyable

Undead was good, I like how we're seeing the effects of the language change be involved in the plot

Mashle was good, felt a little fast at some points but was solid regardless

Moriking was great, I love the purple emperor

Bone was fine, didn't really like it but didn't really dislike it

Ghost Writer, was uh, something. I'm not upset but it really recontextualizes the entire series up to this point, so I don't really know what to think anymore

Ayakashi was fine, felt like this should've been ch2. Still don't really feel much about the series

Magu was great, I loved the gags and character dynamics

I'm pretty mixed on Dolphin. I liked the art and characters, and a premise involving sea creatures sounds great, but I really don't know if I can get over the cop elements, even if it's Japanese and not American. Comedy was pretty good.

Dr Stone, HQ, CSM, and JJK were all great this week.
