1. My Hero Academia: Yeah don't have a problem with this arc like some people do essentially since its doing what people complained about in the previous arcs with its focus on world building and developing the extended cast. It'll probably one of those arcs that's better in one go or better animated since it feels like the editor told Hori to extend this a bit because there wasn't enough material to work with.
2. One Piece: Really loved WCI as a whole
and these winding down chapters have been really exciting, definitely one of the better arcs of post timeskip.
3. Kimetsu No Yaiba: Character poll when? That aside its amazing how much this series has grown on me since I picked it up, there's something endlessly charming about its simplicity from its art to its characters
4. Hinomaru Zumou: Definitely the best sports manga running in Jump now and without a doubt the most underrated. In a few chapters it will beat World Trigger in chapter count which is a testament of its standing ground.
5. The Promised Neverland: This is a setup arc so its lacking on the twists and turns of the first one so the focus its largely on worldbuilding this time around. The characters remain sort of "eh" not really noteworthy (and I miss the dynamic between Ray, Norman and Emma) but thankfully they don't fall into the annoying kid stereotype with everyone assuming their role and doing the best they can so maybe down the road they'll become memorable.
6. Haikyuu: This is another arc where I don't understand where the negativity comes from or maybe people taking the TOC too seriously granted I feel that the anime makes these matches go by much faster than the manga does or maybe people aren't too fond of Inarizaki like I am?
7. Robot x Laserbeam: I still very much enjoy RxL the most out of the new manga lot despite many people already dropping it. It seems like the mangaka is letting the Kuroko fangirls get to him since there's a lot more "manservice" these chapters than they were in the beginning despite that the games themselves remain engaging and the bullshit that plague Kuroko hasn't effected this manga...yet.
8. Shokugeki no Soma: Souma at this point is kinda just there, I no longer feel excitement when the next chapter is out nor feel all that engaged reading it like I used to. I used to think that the manga had enough life in it to follow Souma's complete school term at the academy but now not so much
9. Dr. Stone: At this point I'm pretty sure people are really forcing themselves to like this because they really like the artist and not much else. I get a lot of claims that the manga has improved since the other MC and his girlfriend left and it mainly focused on Senkuu BUT to a slew of forty odd some character who are just as one-dimensional and interesting as those two but the biggest kicker is that the manga still feels like its running on autopilot with no time to breathe or to care about what's happening since shit just happens and we're expected to enjoy it regardless. If Jump is hoping for this to be another pillar its going to suffer from the same pitfalls as Naruto and Bleach though at least with those two they at least showed some potential in their early stages but Dr. Stone really does feel like the artist and writer didn't have any sort of plan or don't see eye to eye in regards to where they want to series to go hence why they had to essentially "reboot it" less than 20 chapters in.
10. Black Clover: Its a tournament arc yet I couldn't feel less excited about it. Every time I feel this manga couldn't let me down anymore Tabata exceeds expectations but at least we get to see girls fight I guess right? That's a very important aspect of a BOYS COMIC that we get to see girls fight even though its not very engaging.
For Gintama I've always been an anime-only for it because it just flows so much better and the current arc of the manga has been stagnating a lot for no particular reason. Translations are way behind with Saiki but I feel a might be an anime-only with that as well since it'll be a nice replacement when Gintama ends.
Bokuben is just not my thing as other have stated its consistent with how generic it is which is good for other but not so much for me and the current chapters are already giving me Nisekoi vibes where they stretch out an incredibly simple premise to its limits but at least its not as bad as Cross Account. Hungry Marie I just feel bad for honestly since Tamura really didn't plan this premise out at all and while that was the entire basis of the humor in Beelzebub where the events that unfold may no sense whatsoever he seem to have went overboard with Marie where the very fabric of the manga is breaking by how sheer nonsensical the premise is of course this wouldn't be as bad if the characters could carry it.
