One Piece is my favourite manga ever, but that doesn't stop me liking other chapters more...
I never see people talk about OP chapters here. Not that I can remeber so I have sort of assume many people here don't like it sorry 😂

Well, we can't talk plot details of the established series here. That said, I voted for One Piece in every week (except when it was on break) since the polls began.

Inb4 Agravity Boys starts placing high, followed by decent sales for Vol.1, and everyone starts saying “you know.... it’s actually not bad like I initially said”, like what happened with Jujutsu Kaisen
I’m probably in the minority that still says jujutsu is bad

Also am I seriously the ONLY PERSON HERE who can't stand the art style of mitama? I think the manga it self is pretty funny but I haven't caught up cause I just can't stand looking at it. Its ugly as hell...
In my opinion
Well, I also heard some people thought One Piece is ugly as sin :hi

I am a contrarian who think the original webcomic is better than the Murata version of One Punch-Man, so you can guess how much I care for art quality. If I only read for art quality, I would not read any weeklies as all.

Thoughts on the undecided:
  • Yozakura: I am literally one chapter away from calling this axe fodder. The series really has become directionless.
  • Mitama: Honestly just one step away from declaring this part of the roster. This chapter surprisingly gave solid lore which has a strong chance of expanding the series, and was just fun in general.
  • Zipman: Still average. Still unremarkable. Still a lot of nothing.
  • Agravity: I legit couldn't even finish the chapter, I hated it that much. It's like Grand Blue, only stripped of everything good, and replaced with a whole lot of annoying.
Yozakura's chapter this week was a bit better than the last couple, but that's not really saying much. I will say that if the author wants to keep a single obsessive character, I'd pick the toy president over the girl from a few chapters ago or anyone else I've forgotten. It's a shame that it seems to be stagnating a bit.

Mitama had another brilliant chapter this week. I wasn't expecting that twist partway through the chapter, and it was executed quite well. The sudden backstory drop for Mr. Mitama was also excellently placed in the story. Plus, it gave us some more characters to look forward to learning more about in the future. I think Mitama has solidly found its stride and will hopefully have good first volume sales, then grow from there. I'm at the point where I'd be very disappointed if it gets cancelled since we're starting to get glimpses of a large portion of stories to explore.

As for Zipman, I'm dropping it after this chapter. I'm just really bored reading it, and it really reminds me too much of My Hero Academia with that art style.

While this chapter of Agravity Boys was better than the last one, I was kind of confused at times by what was actually happening. If they do an item of the week type setup, that may not be so bad. However, I'd enjoy it more if there was only one chad guy instead of three. All of them that aren't Chris basically have the exact same personality, but it'd be better if maybe only the blonde guy with glasses kept that personality. Give the leader and huge guy different personalities to make the cast feel a bit more interesting. At least they 3 guys were more toned-down this week.

My top 3 for this week:

1. We Never Learn
2. Mitama Security
3. Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san

I said art style didn't I? Not art. I read the OPM web comic and was literate obsessed with it for some time and read Mob Psycho 100 back whe it was running too. The art isnt the issue I have it's the art style. If I didnt say that before I apologise.

Imagine expecting loads of characters to be fleshed out in 17 chapters. Because that's definitely a good idea for a weekly series

Imagine introducing a full cast of characters and then promptly doing absolutely nothing with them for over four months now; choosing instead to recycle the same joke(s?) that weren't even funny the first time chapter after chapter after chapter after chapter..

This mangaka knows what he wants the series to LOOK like but has no idea how to write such a series. Same problem I had with Poro. Just feels like the aesthetics other popular things with zero effort put into anything that actually matters like characters beyond just their designs, or jokes that are actually funny.

So is that maid alien travelling with them now and they're trying to find her planet to reunite her with her family?
At the group’s request, the deity thing sent her back to her family.

After reading the last chapter of AGravity Boys, I think there's a path that can make this interesting: The mistery path.
The alien-like thing that keep appearing to offer them things reminds me of Koro-sensei and probably is a sadic villain that's giving them means to fight against him, just because he is bored.

Thanks, I realized after posting that I had accidentally skipped that page while I was scrolling through. It was clear once I noticed I had missed that page. I think I'll be sticking with this one for at least a little while longer. I'm curious to see what it'll become and what type of side characters it'll end up introducing

I actually liked Agravity's chapter this week, a good bit better than the first, if not just because they've pretty much entirely moved away from the initial premise that seemed so off-putting to people. That being said, I do expect the mysterious being character is supposed to be some pseudo-antagonist, if not just in place to create at least some sense of conflict between four characters who normally get along well.

It also seems like it could be trying to foreshadow some space travel or at least interactions with other beings at some point, so we'll see.

P.S. the Yozakura Family hate hurts. I understand you see it as directionless because it's clearly supposed to be a romantic comedy, not a 250 chapter an arc battle series, but come on. Any one chapter singled out on its own isn't bad in my opinion, and as a whole, it's almost a good thing he isn't trying to use the entire family of characters every chapter. That would likely make each one even more shallow than if they didn't appear at all.

Also, I've been pretty keen on Mitama since the beginning, but chapter 6 I believe it was really got it going for me, and it has stayed consistently good, making it one of my earlier reads each week after CSM, BC, MHA, Yozakura, and One Piece.

I was really disappointed with the first two chapters of Zipman but the third was just awesome. I found it refreshing that it doesnt try to be overly dramatic or funny and cutesy like so many, but instead cool first and foremost, and i feel like it nailed it this time. Jump (and myself) really needs a pure hotblooded battle manga and this seems like a pretty good one with awesome art and a cool gimmick with the unique mixture of super robots and tokusatsu, and it seems like the author might have a plan for an equally cool story as it dropped more hints for its meta toku plot.
