15. Someone Hertz 18
16. Gonron Egg 12

Honestly all the chapters I read this issue either ranged from good or really amazing. Now onto my thoughts.

Sakamoto:
The colour page had a very small detail in the TV that made me laugh. The action was really good and the solution to getting rid of the Takamura persona was amazing.

Witch Watch:
Dang Nico, went straight to marriage!!!😂

Himaten:
This chapter was really cute.😊

Ichi:
That octopus must be erased from existence and no harm can come towards Minerva and this baby!!!!
Also the introduction of Puu foreshadows some powerups for the octopus, like him sacrificing all of his lives to increase his strength or he’s down to 50ish lives and just before he gets Acquired, by an attack that consumes all his remaining lives, he sacrifices them all to attain a body that can tank it thus stopping them from Acquiring him.

Shinobi:
The colour page showing of Squad 9 and their respective bird codenames was really cool.
I was today years old when I found out that Umineko could literally be translated to ‘sea cat’.
Everyone pointing out that what Yodaka did was similar to the Hitman games while I’m here thinking that it’s similar to some Studio C skits and other media that for the life of me I can’t seem to remember.

Ruri:
So apparently the moms name is Umi and she seems to have a type when it comes to people who can help her and Ruri.
Also, that subtle title drop with Ruri’s username was amazing.

Harukaze:
For a series that was cut short, this was still a good final chapter for it.

Modulo:
The fight between Dabura and Mahoraga continues to amazing. The narration telling us that Dabura was at a speed where air would feel like a solid and him “shattering” that solid in the next panel was awesome.
Yuji is now a menace considering the amount of blood he shot with perfect control into the building.

Hertz:
My reaction to Nacchi wanting Kurage to wear those ears was basically that one anime meme with the butterfly, followed by the question, “Is this harassment?”.
Also what kind of spiders do you have to have that level artistry with their webs in such a short amount of time?! I went away for about 2 weeks and only came back to a few barely seeable strings that went across my living room!!!
Random Ado mention/reference!!!
Seems like Nacchi figured out it was those two who were the high schoolers that Mon-Mid were talking about.

Gonron:
The blank scribble circle background people are back.😅

Mage:
The neighbour girl that was introduced was really cute and continued to be more cute as the chapter went by.
I was wondering why she invited the guy who was hounding her to meet her boyfriend, then he was revealed to be a child and suddenly everything made sense.
When she started saying “When you are older and you still feel the same way…”, I was worried she was going to say she’d consider it but what she actually said was much better.

Hero Girl/Demon Lord:
That panel of the Demon Lord “shaking hands” with his tentacles was really awesome.
Also, Eiri(my favourite character) continues to be a precious cute little alien.

Under Doctor:
This was a really good first chapter that setups our protags skills and morality.
The stewardess being prominently in the middle of that early page made me think she was going to be a main character.😅
The older doctors face in a few panels made me think of the human disguises that some of the aliens in DanDaDan use.

Which is the worse title, Alien head or Alien butt
In a sexual light ‘Alien Head’, in a nonsexual light ‘Alien Butt’

Also Shinuki is there anyway to know what time (hour/minute) an old post was made?

Honest question...
How many chapter do you think Elusive Samurai has? After Tokiyuki passed away
For me not more than 2-3 chapters... probably we will have a new batch soon

TES ending is for this round of 3, not the next one.

It's this round, the next round is around march or April, if my guess it right then its likely going to be a batch of three or four.

Elusive Samurai needs 5 more chapters to fill the last volume I think.

My current guess for Elusive Samurai is it ends in 2 more chapters, but returns briefly in a batch or two for a 3-4 chapter side story or mini-prequel or epilogue or something like Ass Class did to fill out that last volume.

I think Jump Plus is a good bet, no? I mean, if I were Saito, I would let Elusive Samurai complete whatever it wants over there while Hunter x Hunter takes its place.

Also, I did a bit of math here: if Gonron Egg is to be axed, then the next batch is very likely around the middle of March, around 17 to 19 chapters, so that means around three to five weeks from now.

So I guess my question is whether we should expect the next batch to come three, four, or five issues after Alien Headbutt?

It's all fun and games till all the aliens are a huge sausage fest 😈
Did you read terra formers? If not that its kinda like that to be honest.

Also Pietro, Gonron ain't being saved, its ending in the next batch to be sure. But the question is whether or not the other two join or not, I think they will unfortunately. Or whether a establish series like Blue Box is ending as well.

I think Gonrong will be axed in this moment... I honestly I am even surprised how it has been serialized

If it's like terra formars it's Great... but I think it will be more like Agravity boys

2 extra reminders!

Gachiakuta has already confirmed season 2 while Akane has yet to air an episode. Both manga started at the same time.

Mayonaka Heart Tune actually did a Nue reference, and said reference already got animated before the original scene while Mayonaka started 4 months AFTER Nue.

Lmao.

Fun Fact: Shueshia was going to announce the KGB anime a few weeks ago but realized it just had its best 4 week tank performance yet and decided to wait until it declines again so they can sit twiddling their thumbs over how the bar could possibly be getting lower and lower...

Unironically though I'm just peeved we haven't had any more voiced PVs past the first chapter. If you're not going to give us the anime at least let me know how Yura sounds :grumble

Reminder that Chojo is having its anime premiere on October, while being a 2024 series. And High School Family is having a live-action. It is quite embarassing for Kagurabachi to not have its anime already being aired at this time.

I Think it will be announced after Nue's anime announcement on March. Maybe May or next to it.
