Oh shit, I noticed this while reading the chapters
Chapters this week for me
1) KnY 196 - The fight bit was really sketchy, however the nezuko sequence was fantastic and a great homage to the journey of the manga (and with this, I truly think we're at the end of the road, 100%)
2) CSM 60 - I wasn't sure at first but now I'm starting to really like where Fujimoto is going with all the assassins
3) JJK 97 - just because I got to see my boy
In order to play it safer: Samurai 8 will be absent from one issue between Issue 16 to 18. Take that however you may want to take it.
IDs cover Issue 14 to 18, but we just got 14 out and we already know there's no sign of break for Samurai 8 on Issue 15, so it gets reduced to those last three issues.
Possibilities are:
1. Series' on break in Issue #16.
2. Series' on break in Issue #17.
3. Series' on break in Issue #18.
4. Series enters hiatus in Issue #18.
5. Series ends in Issue #18.
Samurai 8 can't end in either Issue #16 nor #17 because it wouldn't really have any other IDs saved for its chapters, so the only possibility on both of those issues is for the series to be just absent and then resume. In the end, it becomes a 1 out of 5 different possibilities, a 20% chance of series ending in 3 weeks.
We could also speculate and add fuel to the fire: 3 chapters would make for the series to reach Chapter 43, end its actual arc and finish a bit-of-extended Volume 5, and possible final volume of the series. And ending in three chapters would make it ending in the same week AnimeJapan was scheduled to happen and also Tite Kubo's new project presentation. And we can add even more, since Kishimoto's comment this week was about him going on break soon, but comments are done with a few weeks in advance because, of course, issues are prepared weeks before they're out. So we just can't do anything else other than speculate. And there's more info, but that's confidential lol.
they won't till July, they only add in the gap chapters when a new volume release, Kimetsu still have 30 chapters gap to fill, and starting May they will release 1 volume/month to catch up with JPN. So the act age gap won't be filled till December/next Feb

Dr. Stone was solid but not Top5 worthy this week for me.
KnY was all feels and nice creepiness at the end, I like it, more please!
BnHA - starting to think Horikoshi really doesn't want Deku to be the main character which would explain why he thought it was a good idea to have Deku give Bakubaka AfO.
Mitama was cute but not very funny.
TPN was predictable thus not very surprising. Final is starting to become a real let-down.
JJK had great action as always, enjoying to read it each week.
Mashle was a bit disappointed about the resolving of his situation. Sure it felt very "Dumbledore" like because how he forgave Harry pretty much everything but I would have liked some punishment. Like deducting house points or something then at least we would have a conflict where Mashle could once again shows he doesn't care what others think as long as he gets to be on top, but his actions having consequences for his housemates. Was even less fun than Mitama.
CSM was really cool, liked the Chinese "kanji" or however they are named. Also this chapter made me a hardcore shipper for the AkixAngel ship now! EVERYTHING FOR THE SHIP!!! FUTURE IS BEST!!! xD
UxU had a solid fight and build up for how to defeat their enemy. I enjoy it when the MC has to figure out the weakness of his opponent and how to make use of it or how to use his own strength and weaknesses to turn an unfavorable situation into a favorable one. Like in WT when Osamu used his shield to change its form from a shield into a cage to trap his opponent. As for the "fanservice", at least it makes sense compared to our ecchin series or harem series like Yuuna. I mean if Yuuna's MC can have his face buried inside the panties of a pretty girl when she was falling onto his face tits-first then I see no reason to blame Andy where there is an explanation how he got inside the shirt and why so much intimate skinship is needed due her Unluck.
GotW did not had a solid fight same for the build up how to defeat their enemy. Pretty disappointed. Also don't ask questions you don't want answers for only that you can give some infos to the readers that way, it's super awkward. If this keeps going I could see it joining Zipman in the U19 club or it keeps surviving on the corpses of other series like some other lucky series did so far.
Not reading BC since its 20th chapter, so I don't care about it being boring.
WNL was sweet but goddamn it! What an insane waste of a good character development on Rizu! If only the Mangaka had not made her character a robot for 85% of the series, this might have had a real 1 on 1 then instead of the expected outcome.
Yozakura was lame and not funny, a bit romantic though I dislike if females "main heroines" are solely used as damsels in distress and MC "mental support". I want more Kushuku Gakkou no Alice where the main Heroine actually stands on her own without always needing the MC to stand, has her own story without the MC needing to be a part of it every time, her own dreams not related to the MC, her own worries not related to the MC, and is not just an "extra" to the male MC so that readers can ship them! Why is it so hard for WSJ mangakas to write female character that actually feel like real people?
AA was dropdead gorgeous again this week and the way it showcases enhancement of emotional impact of the Actress and Actor to the audience and how art and paneling was used to draw in us the readers was just goddamn well done! Easily first place for me in both polls.

Ah damn! Voting is already over for AA poll? Suuuuuuucks~
I wanted to give Chiyoko another vote...

Ah, I forgot about Agravity Boys: It was to 90% a Chris chapter which made it good. I bet if Jump ever does a "WSJ female character popularity poll" Chris will end up in the Top5s easily right behind Chiyoko, Kei and WNL Sensei, either place 4 or 5th. xDDD
Chainsaw Man, Act Age and Mashle had nice chapters, the latter genuinely got a laugh out of me, hope it can stay.
Yozakura was nice to read, tho mostly because of Taiyou and Mutsumi, they are the only ones I care from the manga At this point
So based off of the whole MangaPlus ID thing, We Never Learn still has at least 4 more chapters? How many more does it need to finish the volume it's currently filling up?

Mashle new chapter did make me laugh but yeah, it felt like it was leaning more towards angry violent than comedy violent this chapter.
Witch's Guardian was probably it's best chapter so far this week but still not impressive, it feels like a typical flop at this point with little impact to what's going on (Zipman too).
Agravity Boys keeps feeling almost liek a bootleg gintama/sket dance, though tbh I just want an actual girl to show up, I'm getting tired of the "GIRL GIRL GIRL but not really" gags already.
Undead Unluck is still my favourite of the recent 5 series I'd say, it still feels a bit.. sleazy, but the powers continue to be really cool and the action's a lot of fun with pretty decent emotional build up to it. Like it feels like there's actually a point to them fighting here, there's a proper relationship going on and motivations that cause the conflict and makes sense. Compare it to Witch where the characters are fighting just because that's what's supposed to happen here, the new guy's clearly meant to be a new companion but it's a battle shounen so they need to fight first even though there's not really any point.

Feels to me like there's a timeskip coming for WNL. Maybe just a couple chapters, maybe a whole mini-arc, but yeah it definitely feels like it's ending now.
Heck it might be worth doing a poll about whether WNL or Yuuna will end first, it's a toss up at this point with both seemingly in their final stretch but neither having a proper ending announcement yet.

Agravity definitely feels like it's aiming for the same type of fanbase as Gintama, if it lasts long enough to get an anime they better rush straight to Fujita (Gintama 100 - 265, Osomatsu-san) to adapt it and I think it'd really blow up lol.

Can I comment one second about how Chiyoko is being by far the best rival in possibly this entire Shonen Jump decade? Act-age is in a very great moment and is thanks to Kei as a very good MC and Chiyoko as a very good rival
they won't till July, they only add in the gap chapters when a new volume release, Kimetsu still have 30 chapters gap to fill, and starting May they will release 1 volume/month to catch up with JPN. So the act age gap won't be filled till December/next Feb
They're speeding up a bit. Jujutsu has volumes 1-3 in the vault but 2 just came out. Demon Slayer started getting monthly additions a few months back and is 2 or 3 volumes ahead of the actual volume releases. Haikyuu never sped up but Tuesday should be when its gap closes anyway so it doesn't need it.
