In TPGW, It hurt when teppei ripped those pages I used to be pretty okay with his character and actions before this, but this is where I start to incline to the "not really likeable" camp, especially since his assistants were so earnest

It is not better to talk about Time paradox ghostwhiter in his forum.

Shounen - Time Paradox Ghostwriter by Kenji Ichima & Tsunehiro Date

Synopsis On a cold and stormy night, I decide to give up on my dream. But lightning strikes! And now I have an issue of Shonen Jump from the future! Teppei Sasaki is a passionate rookie manga artist who dreams of getting a series in Weekly Shonen Jump. One day, he gets a copy of Jump from ten...

Look, the choices that the protagonist has taken up to the present moment in history are the choice that any human being with defects and flaws would take.
Even if it is a wrong decision it is still a natural decision of any person in a moment of total defeat.
And it is certain that he will end up being punished, after all I believe that this is the natural path of the manga.
It's okay that you haven't sympathized with him but I see a lot of people sympathizing with him and the cast presented so far.
I will repeat what I said before, even if the manga is canceled, it is not yet time for punishment, it will come but it will not be next week.

That's exactly my point. He is doing what most people would do. But watching an average person make average decisions doesn't make for a very compelling shonen manga (a hero/protagonist is supposed to be better. Or worse. Or crazier. But not average).

And I do sympathise with him, that's why I hope he will not get punished and that's why it frustrates me that he keeps digging himself deeper and deeper into the ground. If he fesses up next week, most of my problems with him will be gone.

OP: Getting a bit much, like you got more character on one page than HxH has shown in all its existence, bit hard to keep an overview.

TPN: Alright I can accept that payment. Next chapter is the last one?

MHA: Well, that got heated very quickly. I won't say who I hope to get done in but if it does happen, then all the more power to Hoshi!

Dr.Stone: "I. Can." Is it just me or is this character just pure attraction on legs?

BC: Not reading it.

Haikyu!: Glad confusing flashtime is over and that we are back to the game.

JjK: Oh, that ending isn't good...

TPW: I do not really like his reasoning for why he decided not to tell the truth to Aino, same with her being his assistant now, same with him being way too obsessed to reach Aino's art in such a short amount of time. Dude is just causing trouble for his assistant now. I can see why he does so but honestly, if you feel so guilty then maybe better be honest after all? :/

BoneC: Hm, I dunno, didn't felt anything reading it, I wasn't even bored, I just skimmed through it.

Mitama: That ending... don't tell me.... damn...

UU: Now we get to see how the rules changing works, damn, that is harsh, poor Shen looked so sad whenafter he talked to Mui. And we got another Negator who messed with the Union quests? In any case the result looks really cool, UMA Galaxy got mad style, wow! Guess the moon will feel no more lonely after this chapter.^^

Moriking: Damn, Moriking even got the cops on his side, he is unstoppable...

CSM: I liked this a lot, it had a very warm, friendly family feeling to it... I should give Aki more votes in the next poll, he deserves them.

Mashle: Not that much happened in this one, more a build-up chapter for the real happenings in the next one.

WNL: I just can't get into this arc...

M:YF: Oh great, another freak spy added to the cast because it's not like we have enough of them already...

AA: Wow! That woman looks like an older Kei version! Love how even a simple audition can feel so epic with the expressions of the actresses. <3

AB: That ending... damn, Chris you lucky girl.... wait I forgot, Chris is a boy. And I knew Baba f'ed it up when he appeared on stream back then!!! Or he did the best possible thing considering the result in this chapter! <3

GotW: Well, that was a wordy explanation and a quick ending. I gonna miss Claude and Spica...

I can’t read Japanese but art and action wise this manga looks great. It definitely seems like it is going to be a very bizarre/wierd manga.

 

[Gilroygladbouy]

10 Best chapters this week for me:
1. My Hero Academia
2. One Piece
3. Black Clover
4. Promised Neverland
5. Moriking
6. Chainsaw Man
7. Undead Unluck
8. Time Paradox Ghostwriter
9. Agravity Boys
10. Mashle

 

[savethecat]

I wonder if Yozakura would have faired better if it went in more of a traditional battle Shonen route like MHA or Black Clover.
It has an appeal art style, and character designs. And spies isn’t really something that Jump had a battle series for.

By “traditional battle Shonen” I mean more in the route of the MC attending some sort of school, or joining some kind of organization for spies, rather than, what it’s doing now I guess

 

[TyVip]

Author just forgets about everyone but Taiyo, his wife and the Cat Brother. The first chapter color pages sure ages well

 

[Newkerzy]

The oneshot looks good, but could use some polishing in the writing, I think. I don’t fully understand Japanese, but I can get the gist of it, and I feel it could be a good series with some polishing.

 

[hhht3x]

Agravity hit the spot for me this week, very enjoyable. If it keeps bringing chapters like this, I don't want it to leave yet...

Chainsaw got me in the feels. Very atmospheric and reflective. Power is especially cute.

I think we can all predict how this last chapter of TPN will go down.

For time paradox, I'm just waiting for chapter 6 or whenever the first volume will end. That's where the drama cliffhangers will really start.

Bringing a girl into the dynamic really helped agravity

Bringing a girl into the dynamic really helped agravity

The real question is how long she may stick around given that

Spoiler

she is the antagonist

[Nemesis]

There seems to be a trend where the second last chapters are better than the actual last chapter, like KnY, Naruto, recently Yuuna...

That's true.

Makes me wonder if the fujoshi from it will distance themselves considering there's a hot girl there now lol

I feel like it’s important to establish what types of reprints these are to get a better idea oof how successful the manga is.

A reprint for MASHLE is a good sign tho.

 

[Tarot]

Some people fail to understand the reason why the MC of TPGW is unlikeable. The author is trying way too hard to make us sympathize and root for the pathetic MC because he's hardworking and feels remorse which is why it's irritating. If he stopped pretending with the guilt or nice guy act, maybe it would easier for me to read but the author here is clearly trying to paint him as a victim.

[Thundercat27]

should've ended already, that the author dragged the series too long, but now the actual ending is rushed. Lol Ironic

You could use that to describe 99% of WSJ manga
