Been a while since we've done this, how would you guys rank all the current series overall? Based off both the series as a whole, but also where the series currently is.

For me,

Overall
1. Hunter x Hunter
2. One Piece
3. Nue's Exorcist
4. Kagurabachi
5. Akane Banashi
6. Ruri Dragon
7. Roku
8. Kinato's Magic
9. Someone Hertz
10. Class 2-B Destroyerz
11 .Cannon Master
12. Ichi the Witch
13. Under Doctor
14. Sakamoto Days
15. Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi
16. Shinobi Undercover
17. Drawn To The Flame
18. Animal Signal
19. HAL Formula

Currently
1. Hunter x Hunter
2. Nue's Exorcist
3. Kagurabachi
4. Ruri Dragon
5. Roku
6. Kinato's Magic
7. One Piece
8. Class 2-B Destroyerz
9. Cannon Master
10. Under Doctor
11. Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi
12. Shinobi Undercover
13. Akane Banashi
14. Ichi the Witch
15. Someone Hertz
16. Drawn To The Flame
17. Sakamoto Days
18. Animal Signal
19. HAL Formula
For me, the exact order changes week to week, so I'm gonna work with categories for the current ranking.

Invested, consistently good (usually top 5):
Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi
Shinobi Undercover
Cannon Master

Invested, though not every chapter hits (sometimes top 5):
Kagurabachi
Ichi the Witch
Under Doctor
Roku's House of Oddities
Witch Watch (since the last arc)

Mostly good, I guess (rarely top 5):
One Piece
Akane Banashi
Drawn To The Flame

I'm kinda following it but not really invested right now:
Sakamoto Days
Nue's Exorcist
Kinato's Magic

I feel nothing:
Someone Hertz
Class 2-B Destroyerz
HAL Formula
Ruri Dragon (dropped)

Rare funny moments, but some of the characters actively annoy me:
Me and Roboco
Animal Signal

I stopped reading like 10 years ago and will pick it up again once the arc is finished:
Hunter x Hunter

---
Overall ranking:
15. Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi
4. Kagurabachi
16. Shinobi Undercover
12. Ichi the Witch
2. One Piece
11 .Cannon Master
7. Roku's House of Oddities
13. Under Doctor
14. Sakamoto Days
1. Hunter x Hunter
5. Akane Banashi
17. Drawn To The Fire
Witch Watch
3. Nue's Exorcist
8. Kinato's Magic
6. Ruri Dragon
10. Class 2-B Destroyerz
18. Animal Signal
9. Someone Hertz
Me and Roboco
19. HAL Formula

The broad lines are similar, but Sakamoto used to be higher (I liked the small adventures better than the endless fights) and Witch Watch as a whole scores worse (the comedy stuff was very hit-and-miss for me).

(Don't mind the numbers, they are WyldViolet's. I thought it was funny to see how different they are from one person to another.

Not looking good for 18 and 19 though, they are down there in a lot of the rankings.)


You know, putting together that list made me realize something. Most of the stuff I look forward to in Jump these days are the series that consistently put a smile on my face rather than things I'm excited for the next story development for. Like, the only stories in the magazine I'm deeply invested in are Hunter x Hunter and Akane. I think Ichi, Kiyoshi, and Nue have fine overarching plots but they are all (broadly) just "there are a group of bad guys we will have to fight one arc at a time," and in Kiyoshi's case kind of besides the point of why I like it which is that I find it's characters and especially it's art so charming, it's basically moe to me lol.
It's the opposite for me, I mostly like the story stuff (this isn't always the case, but most SoL series aren't clicking with me right now. I did like Hero Girl and Demon Lord Call it Quits).

I totally agree about Kiyoshi though. My favourite chapter is still nr 10 (bowling). It's so damn cute. ☺


Interesting! It’s not my favorite from a design perspective since most of the cast is just in normal attire (I especially love the ones where they all dress up in some way), but I do like some of the expressions we got out of it. Extra props go to Chihiro, who looks almost like an in-between of being scared and thinking it’s cute? Certainly a rare face to see him sporting. Roboco doing the Enel is the correct decision. Ichi seems to be the only one not actually effected, or at least he seems to express interest rather than fear. I also enjoy some of the more drummed up emotive faces on the page like Kiyoshi’s (makes sense since his classic gimmick), and Bharat’s (crusty though it may be at this resolution).

This, uh… is also an interesting time for Luffy to be a ghost given what’s going on in the chapters currently… I smell theories brewing.
Yeah, they're having a lot of touble making Ichi and Ichiro look scared.

Sakamoto is easy with the glasses. Yodaka looks like he just passed out standing (call in the mini Yodaka's!).

And the guy from Destroyerz is just bolting. Some demon king you are. :XD


Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi
Kiyoshi got to go to the festival after all!

Lovely image. :^_^



Shueisha have just dropped a new service (MANGA MILLION) currently hosts 382 manga titles, all of which are available in English - for free.

Still going through the list for new translations, but Kochikame getting hundreds of chapter released is kind of incredible. My completionism of the early years of Jump just got a bit easier.
107 languages of One Piece, holy shit. Half of those I have never even heard of.

8 chapters in my language.

And a MASSIVE translation mistake on the very first page of the story. 😔 🙄

It's even worse because I have 15 perfectly good translated volumes sitting on my shelf. They tried to reinvent the wheel and failed.

Horikoshi should have a monthly manga. His art is incredible, if he had more time like in a monthly series we could have a huge banger.

However I won't complain if he returns to weekly
If the reception is good, I could see him going monthly. It’s definitely less taxing, and I think Horikoshi would prefer that.

I never vibed with any characters other than the main two and mayyyybe Kumugi. The characters that were introduced in the last arc (mainly the Magikeepers) are all bland and sadly they're now the focal point of the story.
Not to mention one of the main draws of the magic system for me, figuring out the majik's trial and solving it creatively, is something that hasn't been utilized in ages. The last few villains have just been brute-forced into defeat, which is boring.

We’ve been in the slow and “boring” part of the arc lately, where things are churning along to get to the next attraction, so it’s natural that things will slow down in terms of hype. I’m hoping now that we’ve busted into enemy territory we’ll start to see things pock back up, cuz as much as I did enjoy the Magipong stuff and the little snippets of things we got like Dess’ internal hell prison, we can’t lull for too long (especially whilst adding new undeveloped characters), or people will grow bored.

Like the other said, it’s a good series but it just has not developed at all like the way I hoped. The world is extremely underutilized as is the power system. The fights haven’t been as creative as they initially looked they might be. Most of the characters are deadpan and lack charisma. It lacks that distinct quality that Iruma has; that feeling of cathartic emotion and humanness in the story. Again I still like the series a lot but it’s just a far cry from how good it could be.

I think Ichi's characters are fantastic since they're absolutely full of personality, or at least the witches are. The non-witch guys are rather weak except for Ichi's mentor having his silent competitiveness with Desscaras.

Magikeepers are basically the worst thing that could have happened to this witch manga, what a boring set of characters and their existence makes no sense to what was explained before. Would rather have more focus on Desscaras, Ichi and Kumugi, the characters I actually care more about. I'm interested in the new villain though.

If the human cast was just Ichi and the witches it would be much better. I assumed it would introduce more male characters at some point when it started, but it really takes away from Ichi being special for being the only male witch when there are a bunch of other males who can go toe to toe with the witches anyway. Wouldn't be so bad if they were interesting, but the Magikeepers just don't do anything for me, meanwhile the witches are so much more interesting yet the only ones who have gotten any real time in the spotlight are Dess and Jikishirone. As others said, we know the author can write good and fun male characters from Iruma, but for the most part they just fall flat in Ichi so far. Other than Ichi himself and Uroro, of course.
