You should ignore Bakagou and read BnHA for Twice, a mix of Deadpool and a kicked puppy, you gonna love him. <3

Is it just me or is M+ broken? I see no updates whatsoever, just an empty page.
I tried harder I can't ignore Bakugou.

I don't know what's the deal with M+ right now. Man!

Chainsaw besto this week, no questions asked.

Solid Jujutsu.

Pretty fun and comfy Act-Age this week.

UxU provides another fun chapter

Mitama was cute and fun this week. I liked how Pigeon used as many designs he could.

Agravity was pretty great this week. But this new development kinda worries me a bit.

Haven't read MASHLE or GoTW yet.

I must be the most heartless person on this forum, because this week's KnY didn't pull at my nonexistant heartstrings. Good chapter nontheless.

Smug Rizu does things to me.

I agree that it was a strong week for pretty much every series as a whole, even for series that I was more hesitant on. My top 5 for this week:

1. Mitama Security - Fantastic chapter. The contest delivered in the best way possible, and the color page was beautiful. I just have to keep hoping people keep voting for it weekly and it doesn't get axed.
2. Act-Age - Really funny chapter, and the little girl finally has a name!!!
3. Mission: Yozakura Family - Yet another solid chapter with the whole family involved. A lot of parts that made me laugh pretty hard.
4. Undead Unluck - A nice chapter that's setting up for what I'm anticipating as an interesting battle. Fuuko and Andy have really great chemistry together, and I like them individually as well. It's nice to see her wanting to contribute to helping as well.
5. We Never Learn - Decent chapter, but it needed more Sawako. I would still rank the Uruka arc above Rizu's for now

The best of the rest:
6. Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san - Another solid chapter. Honestly, it's interesting to see both of our romcoms basically doing If routes at this moment.
7. Mashle - Pretty solid chapter. I was actually laughing pretty hard at the cream puff part. Hopefully it can keep this up.
8. Agravity Boys - This chapter delivered pretty well. The very end of the chapter though, not sure if it's an end game development or a main plot point starting.
9. Chainsawman - Still trippy, still confused, but the demons' reactions were interesting to see.

Hiroshi Shibashi (Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Illegal Rare, Yui Kamio Lets Loose) launched today a new oneshot on Jump+, Iwamoto's Recommendation.
Hell Warden Kiito?

The gag manga were all pretty strong this week, especially Mitama. And of course Kimetsu, MHA, and Chainsawman had some top tier chapters too.

Also Zipman definitely feels like it's preparing to end in a chapter or two. I'll be pretty surprised if it isn't finished by mid-April.

Out of curiosity, any Japan trending topic related with My Hero Academia too?

I feel like the latest CSM chapters are doing too much of the 'lol, look how random xD' shtick, CSM loves to do. And i always loved CSM for it but it was also dosed in a good way prior to this arc. If you do too much of it, the story loses coherence and it all just comes together in a bad way. I am still enjoying the ride. Just slightly disappointed from the 2-3 chapters.

I don't see what's random about anything in the latest chapters other than some of the imagery. The twist was brilliant and well foreshadowed

Horikoshi really decided to just destroy my heart today huh. Actually found all the newbies to be at least decent this week, though the ones I actually really like continue to be the same. Kinda worried about Agravity, great chapter but that development had a bit of "endgame" vibes, but also could easily be used as just a joke or something, gonna be anxious until we get sales next week lol.

Rather than it being the ending, The impression I get from Agravity Rush is that it's finally introduced it's ending goal and the idea will be to do story arcs for each thing they need. Like how Dr Stone's end goal is to revive humanity but they do it one piece of technology at a time.

The thing that worries me however is that it seems like it plans to just stay on their one planet the whole time, we've just added a whole massive extra part to setting with tons of potential, I really hope it doesn't plan to just abandon it and go back to 'where is girl!' jokes again.

Croc-sensei is no.10 trending now - quote from a Japanese tweet "uhh... the crocodile is the real last boss"
I'm curious if that short series of This croc will die in 100 days is somehow inspired in this avatar. I know it's 100% impossible but the timing and the fact that this is the author of the hottest manga in Japan right now, makes me think of this. Pretty sure there will be a tweet making fun of Gotouge using this short series.

I tried harder I can't ignore Bakugou.
First of all his name isn't Bakugou, his full name is Baka-f-u and it is a glorious name that perfectly describes his character. He is a character you love to hate, so just hate him, that's what he is there for. Or just scroll really fast past any page he appears in, that helps too. XD

Rather than it being the ending, The impression I get from Agravity Rush is that it's finally introduced it's ending goal and the idea will be to do story arcs for each thing they need. Like how Dr Stone's end goal is to revive humanity but they do it one piece of technology at a time.

Yeah, this way it could either go on for a long while lie in Dr. Stone or end real quick whenever it wants to.

UxU color page when? C’mon Nak, the people have spoken.
Maybe somewhere in the ch.11 till 20? If it sells well, it might get one as promotion.

Maybe, but on what level? It's highly unlikely to hit the same highs as KnY.

Although, no one could call the level of success KnY had either, so who knows.
I think it will be the new "thing" as it doesn't mean it has to reach Kimetsu's level of success. KnY success, at least the post anime portion is probably the luckiest boost I've ever seen and arguably the boost from episode 19 so expecting to be as high as KnY is highly unlikely.

I hope JJK's anime gets delayed to 2021 to a point where MAPPA isn't as busy as they are now. Not sure why Akutami picked MAPPA. It makes me wonder if they do research on the studios. I know certain mangaka's like Umino wanted a specific studio to adapt their manga (shaft) and paid off extremely well. Although I can't recall the last time a mangaka from WSJ was "picky" with the studio was going to adapt their series.

AB gave me that weird feeling of being close to endgame with that last page, wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't last longer lol. The action in GOTW is completely underwhelming, plus I feel like the art has worsened. Zipman was actually decent this week. Mitama was kinda underwhelming, also liked only a few of the new designs. That KNY chapter was definitely sad, but it didn't hit me as hard as I expected. Still a good chapter. Meanwhile, that MHA chapter got me choked up.

Science consultant: "Don't try mixing this stuff at home. You might die."
Cocktail consultant: "Also try this mocktail recepy book."

At least Dr Stone is having fun experimenting during the boring part of the journey...
