Seems it will be a biweekly series. Really hoped this would land at MangaPlus since it seemed very interesting and different compared to usual Jump manga around.

Hopefully this will be successful for the mangaka, Tista was axed early and Gekka Bijin had a meh run in JSQ (they usually let their manga go for 12-15 chapters minimally, this lasted 21).

What time does Manga+ usually update with the new wsj series?

Actually enjoyed Spy x Family more than the recent serializations in the main magazine.

Hope it sticks for a while

 

[Jovan]

Just read Spy x Family. Very impressed. Fresh, fast paced, great art, nice characters, massive potential and can go in a lots of places. There is also a nice foreshadowing of the mommy entering the game, which will only make character interactions even better. Nice mix of cuteness, humor and action, and served brief backstories which were well placed.

Probably the Shonen Jump chapter 1 of a manga I enjoyed the most since Act-Age.

 

[Nemesis]

Spy x Family is fantastic. Loved it. I'm really glad that a new series of Jump+ finally came again. I hope we see more as there's many titles there which interest me but I can't read since I don't speak japanese lol

 

[Newkerzy]

So basically, Spy x Family is what Mr & Mrs. Smith's plot would be like if they added a kid. Overall, a good solid first chapter. If I had to describe it, it was probably one of the most refined debut chapter I've seen in years. Shame the main magazine couldn't give it a chance.

P.S.: Who would play Mr & Mrs. Smith's kid?

 

[Jovan]

Shame the main magazine couldn't give it a chance.

Probably because Spy X Family is biweekly. The mangaka's previous works were monthly ones, so SJ+ fits the inbetween kind of thing he is able to do since he is taking both story and very detailed and nice art which takes time.

 

[savethecat]

Seems like the online reaction for SpyxFamily is really positive. Maybe Jump+ has a bit on its hands

MangaPlus started Spy x Family https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100056

I want more and an anime! <3

Yep, Yui Kamio will be a bottom fodder for sure. As a romance, it sucks. As a comedy, it sucks. Characters wise, it sucks. Pacing sucks. Even the art is still (imo) worse than Nurarihyon no Mago's!!! Probably one of the worst WSJ series I have read since Kimi wo Shinryaku Seyo!

 

[cody]

The third chapter of Yui Kamio was so confusing. Is this going to be a harem or what? The chapter still had some fun moments but if the story doesn't make any progress I don't know if I'll be able to continue reading it.

This was easily the best Higuma chapter. Very brutal and intense. I feel like here we got a better glimpse of this mangaka's cool ideas. I'd say it's most likely getting axed, but there is a small chance it could survive.

Chainsaw Man continues to be really solid and one of my favorite new manga series. I'm not sure if anyone posted the cute color page.

Spoiler: Color Page

 

[SharkBait]

Dont understand the fashion in Yui Kamio, the lead guys style is so gaudy.

Last Saiyuki got even more amazing than before.

 

[Serinox]

Good stuff from Higuma, CSM and Saiyuki this week again. Hope Higuma can manage to stick around at least past the immediate next axing round.

Yeah, this just seems so all over the place. And none of it feels really "good", just... okay-ish. U19 club fast approaching?

I agree for Higuma. It is a shame because it began picking up at Chapter 9 but it is unlikely it will manage to survive until the ranking results of it come. Shueisha screwed up by putting too many demon hunting manga. Kimetsu covers the period niche, Jujutsu the modern shonen niche and Chainsaw the seinen-ish audience. Higuma...well nothing.

Saiyuki had a solid chapter, but I felt the pace was too slow this week and too uneventful. I would agree with this if that was in it's late run, but this early you have to hook up the audience or you are done in Jump.

 

[supercow297]

Enjoyed Yui Kamio. Chainsaw awesome as usual. Neolation was soulless. Higuma probably going for one last mini arc and go out with a bang. Haven't checked the other new ones out yet this week.

Edit: Saiyuki was nice.

 

[Tanzo]

Aso is working on a new series "more interesting" than Saiki

 

[Nemesis]

Sayuki continues to be pretty good. And I dropped Yukio

 

[puppeto4]

Heh, when I reading Spy X Family, I thought the girl design look familiar along with the artstyle. Looks like he actually lifted up the design from his previous oneshot, which was my favorite
