You can notice his food loving from the manga too (Nue often shown snacking, Gakuro cooking various asian dishes, even non-japanese, Kazusa's love for her mom's croquettes, etc.)
Do you honestly think he might actually do one? In your opinion, I mean. Looked previous works of his but, one is exorcist in nature and the other one is a gag, surprisingly. But no food food related stuff.

You just know Kawae was starving for this cover, btw, pretty good seeing a cover with a lot of hot girls instead of always the usual sausage fest :kissbunny
Prefer the sausage fest but it gets a past since I love exorcists.

2) Shinobi
3) Nue
4) UD
5) Roku


KGB: Yikes. I'm kinda impressed he's still willing to help Ichiro after seeing it go wrong so many times...

Shinobi: Even in his fantasies he's still holding that stupid door. Good on Yodaka for remembering his promise. I really liked this chapter. And it seems like they're implying that what happened to his mother was an accident, so they're probably going to try and redeem him.

Nue: Congratulations, you managed to royally piss off the underdog protagonist. Ask Freeza how well that usually goes. Though in this case, I kind of expect them to need another round.

UD: Poor girl can't catch a break. Good thing there are so many showings. Cute chapter, though it's a little weird we never went back to the very urgent surgery we were fighting for last time.

Roku: Kid is acting as if there aren't several wars going on right now. The whole thing was pretty over the top, but at least the message is nice. Though I can't help but wonder why he hasn't tried, y'know, taking off the mask before going out in public?

Kiyoshi: The imagery with his new form is really cool. The ending feels a little 'been there, done that' though.

Ichi: I thought she split into three for a second there. So I'm guessing it really is brainwashing then, since it would be hard to convince that many people to turn against humanity. Ichi still being a dumb kid, Desscaras needs to buy a leash for him before he gets himself killed.

Alien: Whoa! Now it's reminding me of MAD. But holy shit, that got gruesome for a moment there. Little Mei is vicious.

WW: The second warlock who got spooked by his enemy. Not enough though. That's one way to solve the love triangle, I guess, but I'm not a fan.

Drawn: A wide shot for the feint toss and then the monster swooping in, nicely done! Though I wish they had spent a little less time talking about last week in the beginning.

OP: Back to chaos.

Robocco: ... I wonder if anyone is going to complain about the unfortunate implications of making the only coloured Robocco the villain. The series isn't very popular in the West (judging by the abysmal M+ views), so maybe we'll be spared.

Destroyerz: So the hero is evil, or at least a fanatic. That escalate quickly. Still not funny though.


1. Akane-banashi: I really, really don't know how anyone could surpass what Akane is doing right now. Audience is so drawn in that they don't pay attention to their safety, as if the God of Death is smiling upon them. Even I don't want any distraction to deprive me of the conclusion of the story. Rakugo magic has really strong spells.
It's not like they can do anything about their safety, they are just told to be carefull when walking around. (I hope they would react differently if they were told to evacuate.)

But having someone talk through the story like that would usually break the immersion, so it's impressive she can hold their attention despite it.

18. Roku's house of oddities: So the trend is set at one chapter per curse, which is a good thing to let us know them better. Unfortunately, while the previous two were pretty funny chapters, this one didn't convince me much. The reaction of Roku after having heard what kind of curse he was is too forced, and it doesn't make sense that he escapes police after showing them that he was carrying guns. When it is played too seriously, a chapter of this series shows its inconsistencies.
What guns? The ones that are literally attached to the police officers? Those are their guns, not his. He's just borrowing them, and probably got away with that because it was an emergency (though I am wondering what time period he is from if he knows how to use modern firearms so well).

DAMN this magazine feels empty asf and there's only 2 absents 🤣
lol it's because of all the unranked series + Jump having 2 free spots not filled yet, i really hope they change that with the next round and we go back to have a full 20/21 line up.

I think its just a round of two this time around. Would be VERY surprised if its not.

By the way, what did you think of the Shangai one shot from the latest issue? You kinda did not mentioned at all whether you liked or not.

I actually wouldn't mind if nothing, or at most, a single series gets axed for the next batch, mainly because it's been so long since that free spot's been filled up.

Me too, for me if they have to axe something it would be Alien Headbutt, sorry fans but it's clear the series is a bomb, and would let Kinato go for a round to see the sales and if it can recover, so i would start 3 new series filling the magazine with 21 series.

Btw, talking about sales, pretty curious about Under Doctor & Kinato's Magic sales, both are pretty much tied on Amazon pre order rankings so far.

Finally, the battle for the title of most popular Nue's girl begins!!! I would vote for Ishu, but I think that Natsuki can win (I don't consider Nue one of the girls in Gakuro's harem)

These magikeppers in Ichi are...strange? boring? I don't know. And also, i don't see how these guys can win against witches with a variety of majiks.

Yeah, we had a big sequence of rounds of three, must be a round of two this time

I have to agree. This might be one of the lowest-rated arcs of Ichi when it’s done. So far, Minakata is solely carrying the new characters. That said, it’s highly unlikely Ichi will get axed over this (unless it really jumps the shark).

Highly unlikely? lol try impossible, the series is set for life on Jump, Nishi would have to pull the upset of the century for this series to ever being in a position of maybe getting axed :grin

I still don't know how the magikeepers make any sense in the setting, even more considering how the witches reacted to Ichi and Gokuraku. Just feels like editorial asking for more male characters, yet the witches themselves didn't even do much.

They look the same thing that Gokuraku, yeah, it could be a retcon.

I will stay grounded and wait the end of the arc and see how they fight in a full battle, but, at the moment, i'm not a fan of these guys or the idea that they're the main ones who fight against evil witches. A witch vs witch fight looks more exciting.

I feel like the magikeepers were created as a narrative device to introduce Minakata, who was foreshadowed earlier as an important influence to Ichi. Minakata would have to be introduced with an important role in Ichi’s setting to make him stand out, or otherwise he would just be known as Ichi’s past mentor.

Maybe he was planned as a normal hunter guy before, who knows.
