Holy crap, October is stacked…
I’m hoping the Chojo anime somehow becomes a big success so Saito can look like a fool once again.

I swear, UD's MC is the only thing in this manga keeping me from reading it properly without getting my blood pressure spike

Doctors are strongly advised to NOT treat their family members, some places even ban it unless it's nothingburger or extreme emergency. Wdym by just a "not even doctors are eager to treat their family members"

His existence always makes me wonder why this manga would need a professional consultant in the first place

don't think i posted for this week but good issue! excited for kagurabachi to return next week more than anything else though

this week's akane was incredible, might be a contender for series best this arc has been soo good. I am completely lost by drawn tothe fire and kinato rn tbh, my eyes completely glaze over drawn to the fire and kinato is almost just as much of a slog for me. shame for the latter because i really did want it to do well at a point.

under doctor and roku are feeling like long runners for me though, the former has found its groove and the latter is just incredible and going to tide me once there's a witch watch shaped hole in my heart soon....

i also think 2b is lasting a pretty long while, a year at least just off name strength and it'll probably get better with time — too many big names are leaving and i do not think jump wants to have a turbulent series of batches back to back to back for a year but we'll see what happens!

votes:
1) akane
2) under doctor
3) shinobi undercover
4) under doctor
5) cannon master

It need consultant because without him most illness sounds weird or fabricated for the manga (one of the biggest examples is the Shuli’s one.. that bring him to be mute at first and unmute at second with a single finger shot… all for that to explain that it wasn’t a mutism illness, but just a nerve-stress one cause by a big/bad event)

Besides @kiyoshibro i also just found out @Dogmagril account also got caught up in the system and has been blocked for a while but he has checked the Forum since tuesday, his account is now fixed too, i hope you come back to post 🙏

So if anyone ever gets this kind of problem, just search me on Twitter, or create a double account and send me a PM so i can fix the problem, i noticed that posting Tweet links has been the main cause for this happening with the accounts in question but seems to be a rare thing to happen!
Thanks

The anniversary of Roboco predates of one week the anniversary of me ranking the chapters in this forum, so happy 6th anniversary to my ranks! It was easier when we were at home for Covid and there was nothing else to do.

1. Akane-banashi: I don't know about you, but Issho got me good in the first half. I was already making up justifications like "what if Kaisei went first and Akane second, his argument would still hold?". But ultimately he made the right choice, a choice that will have consequences. I think this is a very important chapter for the story.
2. Witch Watch: The flashback started so cheerful and it was clear what direction was taking, save for that not being the direction at all. The twist got me, as it often happens with Shinohara's storytelling, and the romance wound hurts more than all of Hima-Ten!'s story.
3. Sakamoto Days: I'm liking the turn the story has taken in the latest chapters. Now it's mad Nagumo against everyone, he wins the fight but he is remembered why he's inferior to Sakamoto. It went too well for him though so I don't think this is over.
4. Under Doctor: Nice chapter, the philosophy of the series is encapsulated here. They are good with this kind of formational chapters, but the necessity of a longer arc is still there.
5. Drawn to the Fire: The beginning was strange, I liked the match last week but the loser wanting to talk to the winners about nothing was awkward. After that we are introduced to Steph Curry, a.k.a. next rival, who has an interesting personality and enough connection with the main cast to want me to read more about the next match.
6. Cannon Master: So it turns out that our protagonist is very strong. We knew that already, but given how insecure he is, I didn't expect him to be so strong that he defeats his challenger that easily. Strange twist, but interesting.
7. Roku's House of Oddities: This series and Animal Signal are contenders for the same spot in my eyes. They both keep using the same formula, but the main difference is that in the other series it starts to get stale, but here it still works. The dog made a big improvement in hilariousness since the last miniarc, and the vampire was good too: basically, the peanut gallery commenting the exploits of Kabaneji was the selling point of the chapter.
8. Class 2-B: Hero Destroyerz: The series has finally finished building up an identity, and with this new setup it works better. The focus this week was on the clumsiness of the Demon Lord, I liked that her amnesia was treated as a gag instead of the focus of a whle serious arc as it would have happened with any other series. Stop with the amnesia plotlines, please.
9. Ichi the Witch: This new Majik is here for the purpose of giving a character arc to Amadoro and handing her a place in the main roster as a relevant ally. I am not against this.
10. Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi: Lore explanation after lore explanation after lore explanation, to think there was a time where we thought nothing could be expanded after the Black Parade. In fact, everything that happened in this chapter was an excuse to drop some lore, maybe they exaggerated this time.
11. Hal Formula: I got reminded of Green Green Greens with the analysis of the track, because golf and racing are probably the sports where the playground matters the most. The protagonist did a lot of great moves in his first qualifying lap, does he have to repeat them perfectly for the whole race?
12. Kinato's Magic: Not an exceptional episode, but at least it got a couple of good comedy moments. The previous arc was too serious and those moments were missed.
13. Animal Signal: The formula is still acceptable but risks to become stale if it is repeated for too long. If the recruit failed the recognition mission, does it mean she's fired?
14. Nue's Exorcist: I don't remember the enemy (please don't kill me Nue fans) but he reeks of midboss. Probably Gakuro has to settle this score before moving to more important opponents.
15. Shinobi Undercover: This is a decent chapter of Kill Blue. Hibari ditches her own character arc and doesn't appear at all in this chapter, but the other companions provided at least a nice distraction.
16. Someone Hertz: There is a detail that bugs me: at page 4, Mizuo is shown moving woodboard with her shoes on, then in the same panel she trips on her slipper and falls. What was she actually wearing then? "What was the shocking first sentence of a letter that you sent to yourself ten years ago?" "It's a shame that Italy got kicked out at the group stage last World Cup, but next time we'll win everything for sure!".
17. HunterXHunter: No, the reappearence of characters that were lost in the sand of time is not enough to save this lenghty, wordy and hard to understand chapter, where the real most interesting part was the murderer at the beginning saying "I am a fighter, not a thinker". I stand with you!
18. Me and Roboco: I hear that this "Grandpa Danger" is a famous gag manga in Japan, so congratulations to Roboco for the collab and for the sixth anniversary. However, the chapter falls flat on a westerner who can't understand much. I have no choice but to rank it low.

Until now? It has 14 chapters and wasn't eligible for cancellation yet.
i was talking more about the color page 🤣

even though it was a "mandatory color page", it doesn't seem like the manga is going to be cancelled, the story is making a slow pace, doesn't feel like the author is rushing

You do aware the guy was joking, right? It is a long running joke in the fandom for years to jump on gege if they ever met him.

And that remark pretty much has the same threat level whenever a kid said their parents will kill them when the broke things in the house lol

Also, it is funny to see you so up in arms. I better not see you curse Saito the next time Nue got shafted heh.
The hell does my Saito criticism have to do with anything here? Don't post brainrot tweets with slurs in them (yes, I know it's a joke. No, I do not care that it is)
