Meh, Yagi is a hack. Red Sprite one of the worst Jump manga I've read. Iron Knight just a deeply mediocre attempt at hopping on the Shingeki no Kyojin bandwagon.

Spoiler: Asura's Verdict

Enjoyable chapter this week. Asura himself has truly become a (Horrifying) Force of Good-Deeds, lol. Kanima getting so much focus is cool because if the story goes the way I think it will in regard to him there's a lot of interesting developments that could happen. Unfortunate about the mangaka's health, hope they recover well.

Spoiler: Witchriv

Mmm. I'm happy to see that we're back into the main Quovelta plot. I'm uh, not the biggest fan of Gheer (or Raloud, even) but I guess we'll just have to see how things go from here on. Super hilarious how Mira-Mira doesn't hide her dislike of Gheer, and Belator's cool. Heck, I found his backstory/flashback with his family way more impactful than the ones that followed, despite how much shorter it was.

 

[Wookitake]

The flashbacks on Witchriv were too long, as people in the Manga+ comment section have been complaining over the last few weeks. I don't like those characters, but at least the story is unfolding now.

Regarding Asura, this chapter was really, really good.

Yeah, I'm reading it too. Some very deranged characters. Good story.

Today's chapter was great

 

[Lost Being]

Enjoyed all three chapters of the things I read today.

Spoiler: Life-man

Really enjoyed this crush arc. Daichi is just... super endearing and Kokoro is mad fun. Honestly this chapter really just drove in how much I really, really like this cast of characters. Just constantly hits right with all the relationships and interactions between them all, it's nice.

Spoiler: War of the Adults

A+ gag with Misato and her infinite weaponry. Otherwise just a solid chap, curious to finally learn more about Dark Matter.

Spoiler: Kurumizawa's Folly

I can not stress just how much I enjoy getting jerked around by this manga. I can catch one little detail while reading a chapter, then there'll be a twist in the next that makes me realize I missed something extra. The mangaka clearly has a fully realized idea in mind for this and it's just so refreshing, great ride. Also the batshit panel with Kurumizawa, Hata, and "Cat"jima" oh man. I remember expecting this to go bi-weekly when it first started solely off the art alone, was kinda bummed when it eventually did. I'm sure that extra week helps Tokiwa keep up with the quality but man, waiting suuuucks. Mega excited for the next update.

Is The Plain Salary Man Turned Out to Be a Hero doing product placement? That Cola bottle received a suspicious amount of attention.

Make the Exorcist Great Again is feeling a little too real world-y right now. Like, they aren't even trying to be subtle.

The Trembling Right Hand had a.. happy..? ending. It's structured like a typical shonen manga conclusion with the MC happily working towards his dream, which would be cute if he wasn't basically Light Yagami.

Strikeout Pitch is also giving me slight ending vibes, though I hope I'm wrong about that one.

Meanwhile MARRIAGETOXIN is stubbornly refusing to die even though we've been in the endgame for like 50 chapters.

 

[Wookitake]

Strikeout makes a lot of success, I doubt it's close to ending. It will last quite a while.

Decent start for Bateren Tales, poor starts for the other debuts.

 

[WyldViolet]

Interesting that Bateran is getting decent sales. Seems like it may have been unexpected as they already announced before the hiatus that Bateran would be in its "final arc". Wonder if they might "un-axe" it, as it doesn't really feel like it was intended as a short serial. Especially as I've typically seen Jump+ announce in the blurb of the first chapter when that's the case.

Shame for Axed Mangaka & Dojin Creator, and Smiley Lively Your Girl Happy. They're both really good.
Also heartbroken that Maison can't rise in sales. Given the trajectory of this current arc it also feels like it's getting ready to end. Honestly one of my favorite series Jump+ has ever put out. Such creative world-building, and really well written cast. Deserves so much more.

If you love Maison I 100% recommend the writer's previous work The Vertical World. Imo, the world in that is even more interesting and creative, the art may be technically worse but it's still very distinct and provides a lot of charm. Second half has some insane plot twists.

I've had it on my radar but haven't read it yet! I'll make a point to check it out sooner. Thanks!

Anyone have anything about the state of Jump Plus? Long has it been since the last update regarding views, sales and axed manga.

Anyone have anything about the state of Jump Plus? Long has it been since the last update regarding views, sales and axed manga.

I mean, you could look at this page and the last few pages of the thread. It's not super active and primarily just information on exactly those topics. Multiple posts regarding sales and cancellations.
