this week's chapter specifically was really really really good
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

btw Suzukaze and Hinokura have the potential to be the best rivalry of this current magazine

this Hal Formula chapter moved me #thanksauthor
but one thing i didnt like wash Hinokura "accepting" defeat, i watch F1 every week, i want to see him doing just like what Charles Lecrerc did today, fucked up his whole race and his teammates but made sure to not let him pass, i want to see shit happening

Great Ichi chapter this week, best in a while. Greykeith I read the one shot once when it came out and once last week to prepare so it's basically nothing I haven't seen before. I did notice though, they changed it so that they don't actually go to the demon realm in this chapter. Maybe they want to save that for a "let's go to the demon realm" arc in the future. Also great Hunter x Hunter, I'll miss it.

1: HxH
2: Ichi
3: Roku
4: Greykeith
5: WW

Dissaponted Drawn to the Fire ending. Not a stellar year for my manga (Roku continues to defy the odds though).

Greykeys left me speechless....between this one and Cannon maaster we have 2 series with a really HIGH potential in World building and fantasy...I hope both of them succed...because they are different and Shonen Jump needs something different

Mentioned it as well. Since last week it feels like it got axed, but this chapter had even more finale vibes. We know authors get noticed early, so I think he instantly started a final arc and this will end around chapter 16 or 17.

I see a lot of people complaining about MangaPlus. I'm curious why aren't you guys using Shonen Jump app to read the chapters when they release on Sunday?

Personally, I prefer reading the pages vertically.

I agree. It did 2 or 3 chapters in one which is usually a sign. Maybe the new villain and a surprise strong volume sales will bring the series out of the axe à la Kiyoshi? Either way, I think Machida has a much better series in him. Now that he has a foot in the door, serialization should be much easier next time. He’s someone I’m keeping an eye on

Also, I absolutely adored Graykeith. Rooting hard for this one. Shinuki I’m probably going to bother you a bit about tracking its JP reception LOL.

They already decided if this manga is surviving its first batch or not, this decision is made early before the first volume goes out. If it's not ending now, the surveys were probably bad enough he's using this chance to soft reboot. And Kiyoshi was never at danger of cancellation.

Shoseki Top 500 (September 6)

29. Nue's Exorcist #16
30. Shinobi Undercover #9

59. Roku's House of Oddities #1



1st week finished! Okay, so Class 2B already fell well behind Dragon Quest Avan spinoff by day 2, so it's not going to do 30k on Oricon, the trajectory so far is similar to Astro Royale when you take in count Astro had much more hits released in the month, so i guess 30k ~ 40k in the month?

Astro Royale: 16th > 25th > 21th
Class 2B: 7th > 10th > 16th

not the Viz app the actual Shonen Jump app and it is available in at least 9 other countries. Some of which I would assume some of our commenters are living in. Plus, it is 2026 neatly everyone should have access to some kind of VPN. I use the Shonen Jump app all over the world, I traveled to 21 countries in the last 4 years and read in every one of them. Japan is the only place I remember having any issues with the app honestly.

Cannon Master was really good this week. The art, paneling, and action were really good. I like the emotional stakes as well this chapter.

I am on the fence (probably because I don't want it to end) and could see it surviving or starting to wrap things up.

I believe the humanoid regolith's were always going to be a thing considering Ur used a cannon in chapter 1, so having Regoids doesn't feel like a retcon to me (this is something I saw people discussing previously).

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the mangaka said Kiyoshi was actually cancelled but asura Roth saved things along with strong vol 3 sales

I just recently binge read Yu-Gi-Oh for the first time ever. I had previously seen the anime as a kid and read some of the manga but I only now read the only thing from start to finish. I loved it. RIP Takahashi, what a great manga

And after watching DSoD, which is apparently a direct sequel to the manga and not the anime, I have to say... Seto Kaiba might just be one of the best Jump characters ever. Certainly the best rival in my opinion
