I still read a decent number of things, but nowhere near the whole catalog. I don’t think I’m equipped to rank them but I can give a brief “ranking” on an individual basis. I’ll do it loosely in age/chapter order since I can’t be bothered to double check those things.

Spy x Family: A joyful slow-burn, sometimes nothing happens but I see the puzzle pieces being laid out bit by bit and when Endo cooks I’m left sitting on it for the whole day afterwards.
Dandadan: Great, especially with recent crazy developments since the arc was feeling a bit scattered earlier.
Kindergarten Wars: Nice, but moving a bit slower due to the combo of early final arc set-up and slower release schedule. Still looking forward to developments.
Girl Meets Rock: Somehow both a comfort read and a psychological thriller. I never understand how the series does it but I can’t look away.
Centuria: Great overall, current arc a bit scattered but I feel it’ll come together well by the end of the arc.
Hero Organization: Great overall, was going a little slower for a bit but it feels like we’re ramping and making progress towards a big explosive moment still.
Sirens Won’t Sing for You: It’s aight, clearly getting axed but I enjoy it passively. Author definitely knows how to write darker than their artstyle would imply.
The Marshal King: Fun, but still pretty directionless right now even with a goal in mind. Started off very unclear about where the story was going so that probably threw people off.
Märchen Crown: Also fun and very bizarre, but still feels somewhat uncharacteristically random with some things, and I don’t see a clear direction for the long-term story.
Bug Ego: Yet another “fun but directionless” but I think it’s supposed to be all over the place. Art is insane and plot is all over the place but it’s a fun ride.
Kurumizawa’s Folly: First chapter hooked me, though it is brand new so I have yet to see how things will develop from there.

Other than that I started reading Strikeout Pitch’s first few chapters due to Tsugimanga and it seems pretty entertaining. I’ve been meaning to tackle MAD as well some time.

Marriage Toxin anime announced!

...but all I can think about is this week's Creepy and Freaky chapter. I am absolutely speechless.

Dropped Marriagetoxin ages ago but looks pretty good. Might watch it.

Jeez, massive day one for Plus. Bad debut for all the newbies, iffy hold for Maison and a terrible hold for Eunuch. Shiba Inu Rooms, Strikeout Pitch, and Empyreal Cabinet all affirm themselves as promising newbies, with Cenutria not far behind.

Oh, and Kirigiri Giriko has a pretty solid debut for a Rookies series (with good digital as well).

Hero Organization and Darkest Corners of the Heart both had very strong chapters today.

Lunatic Terrapop seems to have entered its final arc. It's a shame, I like the series. But the sales were abysmal.

I’ve been meaning to tackle MAD as well some time.
MAD is really good lately. You should definitely give it a try.

MAD is great. Centuria too, I want to see what comes next for them following this arc.

In regards to Hero Org, it's is really good too, but maybe I wanted a slower pace? I don't know how to explain it.

Ngl, while I haven't been the biggest fan of Marshall King thus far, I was rather intrigued by the sci-fi elements being introduced the last few chapters. Now with the plot twist/lore drops of this most recent chapter. Goddamn. Shit actually has me interested in the series hardcore.
Hope the focus of the series shifts to uncovering the secrets of this lost era of civilization after ours. Plus, the idea of the whole setting being placed in a dried-out desert where the Pacific Ocean once was is really fucking cool. Hell, maybe they'll come upon the ruins of Atlantis in a future arc. That'd be sick.

They might have to travel for a while to find Atlantis, given that its name alone heavily favors being in the Atlantic Ocean over the Pacific.

I do also agree the recent developments have been pretty solid, while it felt like it was ripping off Dr. Stone for a second he managed to spin it in a way that makes it feel pretty unique.

Bateran Tales is okay so far. I just find it so strange how much his art-style has changed since Cyborg Roggy. From both the character designs and level of detail, you'd never guess it was from the same mangaka. Honestly feels a lot more amateur now, compared how to unique and strong his art was prior.

Tuning in this week to say Tohru Kuramori is a generational storyteller. Some absolute magic is being worked in Centuria. I am now rereading the entire arc to catch any foreshadowing because a nuclear bomb just got dropped on my head.
