Like some distorted music notes for the first two would have been enough for me to "see" that he plays badly while for the third his music notes are either correct or even sophisticated to show how different his third piece was. Instead we get told that the first two were unbearable and that the teacher was only able to enter the third piece thus us was "amazing".
But Lucky isn't bad. He's just average. With the exception of Twinkle Twinkle, his music has no impact but it isn't grating.

The lack of impact is what the two images are supposed to show. Creating any scene in someone's mind has been established to be impressive. So the first two pieces were just "bland music", which is why the teacher called them unbearable, but the third piece was "bland music with an impact", which is why the teacher called it amazing. He isn't really judging them from the actual notes.

Lucky has no special talent or affinity for music theory, which is why he is the worst student at a music-oriented school, but to say his piano playing is outright bad is not true.

But I do sort of see your point about not selling the main hook of the story well so far.

Feeling very tired, so this is a week of short comments.

1. Sakamoto Days: Simply the best Shin we've had until now, brought to us by a villain that did wonders at pushing the right buttons.
2. Dr. Stone: Finally good after a while, nice and heartwarming closure of the second-to-last arc, the animals were the best.
3. The Elusive Samurai: This series is good at depicting their villains, they seem a real threat and their defeat may come with a price. It is good when you have a feeling of uncertainty about the outcome.
4. Magu-Chan: God of Destruction: It didn't go as I hoped, but there were a lot of feelings to make up for it. Plenty of emotions this week.
5. Blue Box: They were cute in the first half, and it felt like a true spokon in the second half, even without being all nerdy with the sports exposition and strategizing.
6. One Piece: Still going at a very slow pace, but the cool moments are there as always, and you can't beat One Piece at creating cool moments every week.
7. Neru: way of the martial artist: High ranking for once because the new character is very likable. You can sense Jump's harshness with its series when they debut a great character at chapter 12 and you get the feeling it's already too late.
8. Undead Unluck: Not a particularly notable chapter, but Spring appeared again and we shouldn't make him feel ignored. We're getting closer to the fight!
9. Mission: Yozakura Family: What starts as another uninteresting filler chapter ends up as a nice development opportunity for a character that desperately needed some. The final page is very alarming for the next things to come.
10. Ayakashi Triangle: That's a nice betrayal, if I ever saw one. You can understand but you can't really agree. The reason it isn't higher is just bias for the series that I often struggle with.
11. The Hunters Guild: Red Hood: I liked Bonkers backstory and I think it's good that his motivations are not like the others. The main problem of the series remains though: why are we stuck in a pointless exam instead of being out there adventuring?
12. My Hero Academia: A chapter of which I don't remember much save from some funny moments from Mineta. This is the drawback of wanting the Old Academia back.
13. Jujutsu Kaisen: Still too complicated, They should start to talk less and fight more, so I can understand better what is really happening out there.
14. Highschool Family: Unfortunately Haruka chapters are often the weakest. The final part about the event was pretty funny anyway.
15. Me & Roboco: I get the idea behind the chapter but I'm not very into the examples used for the comedy bits.
16. PPPPPP: His backstory is now a little too tragic. Not a great second chapter although the good ideas that this series has are still there.
17. Mashle: Familiar faces have returned but are we really sure Mash actually needed having them around?
18. Black Clover: Just another Black Clover chapter. Next!
19. Witch Watch: Too many words and a concept boring and uninspired. Not the series best effort at comedy.

Guys any guess in how many chapters Red fuddo and Neru will end?
And how about DR. STONE? My guess is 22 and 21 for the first two, and Dr. stone will end in about 30 chapters

didn't the events of this week chapter of Yozakura already happened before?
>Taiyo got turn into a child
>all the siblings love him because how adorable he is
>everything magically solved when he go to sleep

I'm guessing the reception for that chapter was pretty good

30 chapters seem too few to me, I think it will last at least another full year and maybe some more.

Yes, it is implied that the character of the week took the same medicine that affected Taiyo in that old chapter.

the point is why make the same chapter with the same events and emotional beats twice?

coming to think of it, last week chapter was recycled too
it's the chapter where they go spying on Shion's date, author just swapped Shion with Shinzo

I can see JJK reaching the height of Hunter X Hunter or even 90M if the sales don't stagnate, It's sales are really incredible. I can also see MHA getting to 65M by the time it finishes at this rate and with 55M coming very soon as well with this volume or the next.

Worldwide or Japan only?

It depends on when the next WW numbers for MHA will be revealed and how much it will be by then, but I think there’s a decent possibility of the series nearly reaching or just go a little over 100M WW sales by the time it ends. It should be pushing 60M, if not selling the same amount as JJK in Japan WW right now since last year sold 50M, which is 3 volumes ago, if I’m correct.

I'm wondering now if Dr Stone will be the next series in the magazine to end naturally, since it's entered the final arc and seems to be going at quite a fast pace.

I guess it'll depend on if we get another long-ish action arc in the middle interrupting the building parts.

Kimetsu just pulled higher ratings than Sazae San and all the volumes shot up shoseki into the top 70 or so

Gege must be hella jealous/pissed that Oda gets much bigger first prints and hence checks despite jjk selling better

The 50M announcement was at Volume 30, right after Volume 29 the announcement was of 30M in Japan. I predict 65M Worldwide for 42-44 Volumes while ending even though I wish for more, something like 75M-85M but in the meantime I haven't seen a volume that sells yearly over 1M in Japan, let's wait for Oricon half yearly Volume 30 and 31.

I think around the ballpark of 75-85M sounds pretty realistic, although I have a feeling we might be surprised. I mean, before that 50M announcement, my best guess at that point was 40M WW at the time. I didn’t expect to be off by a full 10M.

Red Hood and Neru will probably end around Issue #1. It seems like a new batch of three will start then, too.

On the other hand, I think you're definitely underestimating how long Dr.STONE has left. Treasure Island was ~40 chapters, and this arc has a lot more than that one to resolve than as the final climax. I still maintain my estimate that it will end late 2022.

Then Riichiro can focus on his true magnum opus, Trillion Game.
