OBO dies next issue according to mangaplus IDs.

I'm surprised they didn't let it run for a few weeks longer, considering they have only 18 series right now.

Tabata being the lovely Jump lover he is and saying goodbye to Agravity Boys author.

Idk if I’m the only one, but I feel extremely lost with some of the recent developments in Jujutsu Kaisen. It feels like I missed a lot, but at the same time I’ve read the entire series, sooo....

MHA was great as always

Sakamoto Days was awesome this week. Excited for next week

For once I found big brother in Yozakura actually sort of likable. Great chapter.

good end to the mini Phantom Seer arc. But also feels a bit anticlimatic

So Our Blood Oath ends next wee with 18 chapters. That makes it the fourth U19 club member from 2020. A return to 2018 numbers after 2019 ended up with no members. I´m not expecting BK or Sakamoto to go under 19, so this might be it for last year.

Another interesting thing is that recent cancellations have followed an interesting patern:
When Bone Collection ended in Issue #38, TPG was last in the ToC.
When TPG ended in #39, Agravity Boys was last.
When Agravity ended in #5-6, Moriking was last.
This week, Moriking ended and OBO was last.
Next week OBO ends.
What is going to be last next week?
Will this "touch of death" pattern continue?

Recent trends suggest Phantom Seer will be, but High School Family or Niraikanai could also go down to the bottom.

Personally, it feels like next week will be make or break for PS. If it doesn’t place in at least around the middle, there might not be a good possibility of it surviving. Fingers crossed though.

A bit late, but, here's my tier list

SS: My favorites
S: The ones I look up to the most
A and B: the ones i enjoy reading
C & D: I'm up to date with the last chapter, but I'm not that invested

The lasts rows are self-explanatory

 

[WyldViolet]

So it appears Sakyo has shifted focus from underworld demon crime syndicates to underwater sea creature crime syndicates.
Really hope he sticks around. Great chapter for Pig & Dolphin.

My top 5 this week
Ghost Reaper Girl
One Piece
Hardboiled Pig & Dolphin
Sakamoto Days
Ayakashi Triangle

To the surprise of absolutely no one. What a disaster this serialization has been.

The Wano Second Act was a little slow and underwhelming for me, but since act 3 the series is as excelent was ever and these last chapters are pure hype.

 

[FireFantasyVI]

Yozakura was an alright pre-war setup chapter but the unfunny comedy dragged it down a bit for me

Undead was great, a tragic but also inspiring backstory

Mashle was good, need to give it some time to see how I feel about the development with wands

Moriking had a decent ending, nothing bad but I can't say I felt much emotion from it. Really is a shame it turned out how it did because I was quite fond of the first 10-ish chapters. But around that point it started to feel stagnant and not as funny, and it's hard to really pinpoint why. My guess is a combination of the new characters not shaking things up enough and a reliance on the same jokes with Moriking. The arc against Oga was a particular low point, action/fighting is something the series could never really get right. While the hoshiking arc felt pretty random and unnecessary, it was at least a bit better than the previous arc.

Ayakashi, was good, cute chapter overall

Magu was about as good as usual, with the same level of gags and wholesome-ness

Dolphin was a solid action chapter with some other interesting developments

Roboco was a really good chapter with Gori and Matsuo being great as usual, but my god was I not ready for the Slam Dunk reference on the last page. Absolutely killed me

Phantom was good, decent stuff

HSF was a funny enough chapter, the misunderstanding got a few laughs out of me

Blood Oath comes to an end, thankfully, next week. This chapter was pretty strange with whatever is going on with Ko, presumably a result of the series ending in a week with no way to really come up with a real ending. Probably will do an "adventure continues" ending.

Build King was good, with this arc out of the way I look forward to where it's going now

Sakamoto was probably my favorite of it's since the first chapter, the cast dynamic felt strong here with some decent gags

All the veterans were solid this week, but none of them felt more remarkable than normal

 

[Koni]

OBO dies next issue according to mangaplus IDs.

Damn, next week? Talk about a series that was just dead on arrival. I don’t think there was much hype for it, and then it came out and things spiraled from there.

 

[Aipom626]

This week's top 5:
1. Magu-chan: God of Destruction - Such a cute chapter! I was laughing so much throughout the entire chapter, plus the ending was very heartwarming. I wish more people were buying this.
2. Mission: Yozakura Family - Another fantastic chapter - cute, funny, serious, and heartwarming. Against all odds, I've finally warmed up to the oldest brother. This next arc is going to be intense. I'm still hoping this can stick around for the long-run.
3. Moriking - Oddly enough, this chapter was actually probably my favorite of the entire series. The ending was a nice nod to the oneshot, and it had a very heartfelt ending. Wherever the author returns to one day, hopefully they'll work on how they write the middle of their series. Moriking was good at the beginning and ending, but suffered in the middle.
4. Me & Roboco - Really funny chapter this week. Seems my favorite chapters usually focus on less on Roboco and Bondo, and more on the side characters.
5. Ayakashi Triangle - This chapter was interesting, mysterious, and heartwarming all wrapped into one. It even discussed houses in a much better method than Build King lol. I'm really curious by some of those developments that happened this week and what that means for the future though.

The best of the rest:
6. Mashle - The battle was pretty awesome, especially with the ending spread. I do feel a bit bad for Finn since his brother is so superior to him in everything, even in popularity in the series lol.
7. Sakamoto Days - The chapter itself was alright. The fight scene was kind of stale. Hopefully it picks up again soon.
8. Undead Unluck - I'm still not sure how I feel about this character or their impact on the direction of the series as a whole. It just feels a bit too meta for my tastes.
9. High School Family: Kokosei Kazoku - Another chapter where I feel impressively neutral by the conclusion. Nothing bad, but nothing inherently great either, like taking a sip of lukewarm water.
10. Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin - I just feel nothing reading this. The battles and fighting logic being used are pretty drab. Heavy contender to be dropped.
11. Build King - Officially dropped. With new series around the corner and this arc pretty much wrapped up, I haven't really found any aspect that I've enjoyed thus far.

 

[Aeneas]

Nice find. Added Ayakashi to Imamura. The source also has Takano and him as just in charge of Cop and Dolphin and Ayakashi (respectively) and that they didn't launch them, which is very likely for someone as new as Imamura. So who knows if we'll find out who launched those.

--
And apparently Katayama did not launch Yozakura. Isaka did before he left (he also launched Gondaira's previous series).

 

[BX-02BLODIA]

Still find it amusing that Black Clover's color page is more lewd than anything Ayakashi has put out thus far.
