Honestly, if Sensei's chapters are the ones which contain the "main" ending content, I'm just going to shake my head on why Tsutsui thought any of this was a good idea.
If the author wanted to do What If scenarios, they should've been 2 chapters maximum, maybe 3 at absolute most. Yuuna has the right idea by making each of the girls' arcs have significant meaning, genuine moments of character growth and development, and actual romance. We Never Learn basically just took a good ending and made it so that there'll now be a bunch of irrelevant side-chapters. I'm not even sure if Rizu has truly been the main focus in a single one of her chapters.

The problem is the girls actual arcs (Fumino's relationship with her parents, Kurisu's backstory, Asumi's family clinic closing down) all happened in the common route. That basically leaves the "routes" with little to do beyond irrelevant comedy chapters.

yeah I was kind of hopeful but have to agree here. I wish he did the Amagami SS style of being an omnibus romance from the start and had all those events only take place in each character's "route" with maybe references and such in the others.

Guys, can we stop focusing on WNL discussion? You guys have been doing this on and off for multiple weeks now.

That is not the intended purpose of this thread. That goes for any particular series. Sales and analytics, as well as the magazine itself, are the main points of this thread.

Mori King wasn’t bad, tho it wasn’t anything special either, the lil brother seriously reminded of a chibi version of Spring Weapon’s MC lol

Chainsaw Man sure is one crazy ride. Kimetsu, Act Age and Mashle were good this week. Seems like Yozakura is gonna start a new mini arc, let’s see how it goes.

In One Piece, things are looking good, tho that seems like a sign for a bad omen to come, specially with Luffy’s line.

Looking forward for Bone Collection next time

I was ready to hate on Moriking, and quite pleasantly surprised with how I actually enjoyed the chapter

Moriking kind of feels like a kid version of Mitama to me.

You got the supernatural (ghosts/Moriking), the young person who is completely unfased (Rena/Shota), and the slightly unstable 'adult' who is freaking out and questioning what even is normal anymore (Mitama/Shoko). The main difference is that Shoko is a lot more clueless, but otherwise the dynamic feels very similar.

I wonder if we will also be seeing evil bugs in the next chapters...

Did manga plus reset for everyone or is it just me?

It's working normally for me (?)
It reset for me. My read history and all the manga I had saved in my favourites list gone. And I have to use a different name cause my accounts still exists. Weird...

I really liked Moriking, delivered on both sweetness and the bizarre, two unique areas that i've been missing from recent Jump gags (Mitama dabbles). It's unfair to compare its first chapter, but currently it's on the top for me. Mitama's author ran out of gas, Agravity is extremely inconsistent and Mashle can't live up to its first three chapters imo. Although Moriking doesn't seem as promising on the long run either considering the small arsenal of bug and pet based comedy, but if it keeps taking it further into the absurd I can see it becoming a hit.

I had stronger feelings on only a few other chapters this week.
Undead's current arc wasn't living up to the precevious ones until this chapter, as it managed to use zombies in a creative and emotionally powerful way. Best chapter of the week.
JJK is having another killer fight, but I can't help but feel more bummed with every Itadori fight, because even as a sorcerer he is still just another punchy-kicky MC, at least he has a lot of finesse and not just brutebforce like the rest.
KnY has never been the most exciting for me aside from the beginning of this arc, but the final boss fight killed that for me, but I'm feeling it again just cause I have no idea what will happen next. But I do think that it's either ending in a few chapter or 20 more volumes later.
Black Clover was so disappointing for cutting away from last chapters hype for this by the numbers one, and probably wont be back for 2 months. Criminal blueballs for a pointless (at least in this extent) detour.

Mashle was great. Mashle is definitely trying to use all sorts of gag elements from Saiki/OPM/Mob Pyscho/Beelzebub etc.

The bit with the female reminded me of Teruhashi from Saiki.
The good thing about this series so far is that it isn't just relying on Mash's strength but the characters and items around him as well for all these gags. The cream puff for Mash is like Saiki's Pudding. All these gags are being set up nicely.

A lot of people enjoy Haikyuu!! here but the Nationals arc was a tad bit too long and might have curbed the enthusiasm of a few. Of course, the Final arc has been really strong but recently it's hard to compete with stuff like Shibuya Incident, Princess Iron Fan, Liberation War, Dimensional Infinity Fortress and International Assassins arcs. These are some of the prime arcs of their respective series, not to mention One Piece, which is big in and out of itself, Mitama, which is heavily favoured here, and the up and coming Undead Unluck and Mashle. Jump has been on a nice spot for the past weeks or months.
Which series is the dimensional infinity fortress arc in?
