Everyone, enough with the leaks vs. official release date argument, please.

Reminder that Viz translated all of Judos in their ESJ yet didn't pick up My Hero Academia even though it debuted earlier in the year and was a clear success by that point.
No they didn't, they only did the Jump Start for Judos.

It was Gakkyuu Houtei that they picked up right away (which made sense to go for since they do almost everything with Obata art).

Oh? I recalled a few of the flops they did in full being Judos, and Hi-Fi Cluster.
This was like 6 years so sorry if I was mistaken.
Having a 17 month has me not sleeping much either so I find myself making a lot more memory based errors as of late.

A Jump without One Piece and HeroAca is a weird one, but this issue is still out now nonetheless.

Reborn's TOC rankings for this issue will be interesting.

Dayum, that haikyuu twitter announcement is already at 90k retweets and haikyuu is trending. Huge.

I wonder what'll happen for circulation now in Q3. I half expect it to collapse.

Alright, so overall I think today’s chapters were all around solid. Don’t think anything was mind blowing this week, but most of what I read was solid. CSM, JJK, Black Clover, Mashle, and Hard Boiled are probably top 5 this week for me. (Not in order). But Moriking, Magu Chan, and Ghostwriter all had some pretty good chapters as well.

Not since the food in Food Wars, have I wanted to eat something after reading a manga. Thank you Magu, I'm going to indulge in some pudding now.

Both Mashle and Undead being very hype at the moment, funny how batches work.

TPGW was very heavy and engaging.

-Only 5 chapters so far, and for me, Magu-chan is the best newcomer since Chainsawman. It also has the best chapter of the entire roster for me. I hope this survives. Magu is really GOOD.
-Very very good chapters for Ayakashi Triangle and Yozakura this week. I've greatly enjoyed both of them

Magu-chan: still great!
The rest of the batch: honestly, wouldn't mind if all three were axed. Not enjoying any of them.

Solid issue, though man I don't think I anticipated how much I'd miss MHA, I need the next chapter now! I really like Tamura's art but Cop and Dolphin isn't really doing anything for me in any of the other departments. With multiple chapters of all the newbies out I can say with more confidence that Ayakashi is the only one that I actually like more than just being readable.

CSM: Another great chapter, but also heartbreaking in many ways.

Undead Unluck: Another solid chapter, but I'm not sold on the new character yet.

Magu-Chan: Continues being the best of the latest batch for me.

Hard-Boiled: I think this series is fun, and the art is great, but the premise doesn't resonate with me. It's missing a certain ingredient, but I'm not sure what. Still better than Hungry Marie, in my opinion.

Black Clover: I'm always down for more Captain Yami. Chapters that feature him are always good in my book.

TPGW: Honestly, I'm not sure why they focused on that dilemma the MC is having for most of the chapter, only to completely sidestep it by doing a six month timeskip.

Still not caught up on MHA yet so that hasn't dampened my expectations for this issue (not any more than Haikyuu!!'s ending already has).

1. Haikyuu!!: Had almost everything long time fans could want and I can't imagine the final epilogue chapter will be anything different. The series is ending at its absolute peak. Feeling confident that of the recently ending series that this will have the praised/accepted conclusion by fans and casuals.

2. Chainsaw Man: Another fantastic chapter. I'm scared might this not even last until the end of the year at this rate. Hopefully there's more to the story because I don't want it to go anywhere.

3. ACT-AGE: I love this arc, it's really showing how great of a protagonist Yonagi is.

4. Time Paradox Ghostwriter: I'm liking where it's going but it's also feeling a little desperate/rushed. Probably trying to capture fans that weren't loving it from the get-go.

5. Mashle: This chapter gave me Hunter x Hunter exam vibes, just before Killua ripped out that guys heart.

6. Jujutsu Kaisen: Better than last week's disjointed chapter.

7. Magu-Chan: I think I'm finally aboard this now. The art still feels amateurish compared to everything else running in the magazine and I'll never be fan of the font the typesetters are using, but the characters are winning me over. I do feel like the formula is similar to Moriking in a lot of ways, so I hope it manages to stand out and differentiate itself.

8. Moriking: I preferred the first contest :(

9. Me and Roboco: I actually kinda like this.

10. Hard-boiled Cop and Dolphin: I wish I liked this.

11. Mitama Security: Yeah, I would not be sad if this ended soon.

Yozakura was fine this week, felt a little quick towards the end though.

Mitama was great, the twist got a big smile out of me and the jokes were solid as well

Agravity was good, the main joke was kinda meh but I got a few laughs at least

Undead was great, I like how unrepair and andy's abilities play off each other

Mashle was good, mostly set up for the upcoming fights

Moriking was great, I'm really glad to see it doing well. Humor and wholesome moments have been landing really well

Bone was meh, not the biggest fan of when it does the action-y stuff. I much prefer when it does the sillier gags which compliment the art style more

Ghost Writer was alright, I'm starting to like Sasaki a bit more but the series keeps skipping around in time so much I can't really tell what it's trying to do sometimes

Ayakashi was fine, still pretty neutral on it

Magu was great as always

Dolphin was alright, still not sure how to feel on it

Roboco was fine, had a couple of decent jokes but not as good as the first chapter

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

A surprisingly solid set of chapters this week. Took me a while to pick my top 5, but I’m going to go with:

1. Magu-chan: God of Destruction
This series is perfect to end off the week. Another charming, funny and wholesome chapter. Best of the newbies by far, no contest here.
2. Haikyuu
Packed full of content with great character interactions. I wish it wasn’t ending next week.
3. Undead Unluck
Another chapter packed with content, and a fantastic character moment for the Unmove fellow.
4. Chainsaw Man
Tense moments with awesome paneling. Can’t wait for next week!
5. Mission: Yozakura Family
I know, I’m shocked. I was glad to see the police man again, and there was a good amount of comedy and action in this chapter. I have little hopes it’ll keep it up next week, but eh.

Hard Boiled Cop has fallen into the “I don’t care” pile with Ayakashi Triangle. Me & Roboco is unfunny and repetitive. I’ll give it one more chapter, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the worst of the new batch. What a shame.
