Actually liked the second chapter of Moriking, the interactions between the family were pretty interesting.

I agree that Bone Collection was... pretty basic. Nothing really bad in there, and there are elements of the story that could develop into something interesting, but overall, it's really nothing special.

I'm kinda lukewarm about Bone. I'll just wait out and see.

Moriking was actually really good this chapter. The Parent dynamics can make for some good situations later on.

Madness In Chainsaw.

God Damn it Kei. What a DORK.

I feel like Hisoka whenever I see Jujutsu's fight scenes...

Solid UxU.

Mitama is best Mom confirmed.

Strange Agravity, but i'll take it.

Also a strange MASHLE. Little to no actual comedy this time.

Suprisingly heavy WNL chapter....it feels kinda off, but not in a bad way.

Slightly better Guardian this time. This series needs a better editor for this author.

And for Yuuna....the moment we've all been waiting for is almost here...

Finally, new chapters and this time without any break-downs even!

Bone Collection:
Weird way to end a first chapter, kind of felt like half a one chapter due the way it ended. Didn't liked it quite as much as Moriking from last week.

Kimetsu no Yaiba:
Meh. So after all what we got from the last chapters was the "epic final fight" not just the leading fight to the real End Boss level. What a let down.

One Piece: Another chapter.

Moriking: Have a feeling this whole girlfirend/marriage thing gonna be a running gag.^^ Also I see after which parents Shota is coming after. XD With the declaration of what Moriking had to do to earn his crown as well as a timelimit (as if they would let Moriking live for only one summer, let's be real), we got set some path of where the plot will progress to over the next chapters.

Dr. Stone: MEAT!

MHA: Well, that was anti-climatic.

CSM: That ending was super unsettling! oO

Haikyu!: At this part I am just skimming the talk parts to look at the action panels. :P

WNL: Gotta say I am glad we got this Sawako arc even if we had to wait for the Rizu ending to get to it. Also her mom is adorable, weird, clumsy but adorable.

Mashle: This was good. Mashle is about to earn a new, annoying, headstrong but with a heart of gold and supersturdy friend. With the power of puffcream!

AA: Poor cute Loli having to put up with Kei Ideals making everything overcomplicated. XD In the real world though I guess Kei might have already gotten fired by now? Not sure, I did like how she said she had to come to love the product she is advertising and is asking the inventor what he was thinking making it taste so bland, lol.

JjK: Liked this a lot! How often do you get a fight to the death in a public bathroom anyway and that for tactical reasons? <3

BC: I don't read that.

Yozakura: Liked this brother love a lot! Bromance ftw! Trust your big brother and be there for your little brother! Also how the hell did you survive all that poison, dude???

Mitama: Mitama being the mom of moms was a great chapter, loved it a lot. XD Plus foreshadowing about Rena's dad and Secureity? oo

UU: The Transformation of Spoil was pretty cool as was his display of power, like damn! I also like how the "rules of nature" have a own personification with Spoil seeing the world before his "birth" as stagnant and ugly and that he is "change", that he gives "meaning" to life and that he sees himself not as evil but "necessary" and that only humans with their limited time begrudge him as evil. That is pretty cool. This was the most "shounen" chapter of UU so far, but here it makes sense because dreams are not organic matter thus Spoil cannot affect them thus turning back the timer which is Spoil's weakness. Next chapter will probably be the end of the fight, will be curious to see if they can capture it or if they kill it and what happens if they kill "the rule of Spoil" in the world.

GotW: This is getting dumb, not funny dumb like AB, just dumb. God, I'd rather had the new Witch-Guardian pair be made the MC couple from the start than what we got.

AB: Monica is hothotHOT! Like damn, Geralt! Also you are so damned once Monica finds you, bro, lol, shouldn't have lied, dumbass. XD NO! BABA-BOY! DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!! XDDD XDDD XDDD

Sad that next week we got nothing again but that's golden week~

Bone Collection had an ok start, not spectacular but not horrible. Also hate being an Atsuhiro Kudou fanboy but it really reminded of Hane no Ichizoku.

Yozakura was fine this week. Don't really care at this point but the chapter wasn't bad

Mitama was hilarious this week, best chapter in a while. The end of the chapter gave off some possible endgame vibes but we'll see. I loved the pigeon cameo

Agravity was fine, the big joke of the chapter didn't really land for me but I did get a few laughs and we got some plot development. I was so certain that the twist at the end was gonna be Grislow but I'm glad I was wrong

UxU was really good, love the Spoil's new design

Mashle was good. I'm not super invested but it did the shonen melodrama really well

Guardian wasn't that bad, this chapter was probably the first time it had me interested in something in a while

Moriking was really good, got good laughs, and just gives off very cozy vibes. Nice to see some set up for future opponents and I'm glad that the parents actually got addressed instead of being ignored the whole series

Bone Collection was kinda meh. Didn't really like the MC and I can't say I'm interested in another exorcist manga. It also felt incredibly similar to Bleach, obviously with some tweaking. Girl from another world, monsters coming out of the sky, borrowing powers, is a high school student and exorcist, classmate (Ishida) is competing with MC, father is super powerful exorcist. Unfortunately, the MC of Bone Collection doesn't seem anywhere near as interesting as Ichigo, or really anything about Bleach for that matter.

JJK was incredible this week. HQ and AA were both really good.

Pretty decent issue across the board, Bone Collection didn't really do anything for me but it was readable I guess. Mitama is now an honorary MILF but that end of the chapter gave me some endgame vibes... Hope I'm wrong but we'll see.

Mashle was good. It was your typical drama chapter to set up the MC's fight but it was done well. Pretty sure this is how majority of the arcs are gonna go for Mashle. Lots of comedy with action focused chapters thrown in every now and then.

My rankings for the week. My computer broke so I just have a tablet to type on so I can't really go in depth. Liked mostly everything this week though. Really liked Bone Collection.
Despite not being big on the first of the chapter, I loved Moriking this week.
Boruto has me actually kind of hyped. I love this Tree of Might idea and love how it easily creates a natural way to eventually introduce Samurai 8 characters to the story and really expand its scope.

1. Bone Collection-

2. Moriking

3. Boruto

4 Chainsaw Man

5 Kimetsu no Yaiba

6 Spy x Family

7 Dragon Ball Super

8 One Piece

9 Black Clover

10 Mashle

11 Agravity Boys

12 My Hero Academia

13 Jujutsu Kaisen

14 Undead Unluck

15 Dr. Stone

16 Yozakura

17 Witch Guardian

This week's top 5:

1. Mitama Security - Easily one of the best chapters of the entire series. My only concern is that the very last page may be setting up the start of a "final arc" type development. Hopefully that's not the case, but I'm glad the topic is being addressed.
2. Undead Unluck - Interesting fight scene, and Fuuko is a fantastic character.
3. Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san - Best girl chapter. Beautiful romantic moments in the chapter.
4. Moriking - Nice follow-up chapter to the first one. The artwork really suits this type of series nicely. I think this series may end up being decently popular among younger readers of the magazine.
5. We Never Learn - Decent chapter of the Sawako arc featuring ghost loli with a special guest appearance from Rizu.

The best of the rest:
6. Act-Age - A lot of this chapter kind of felt like the last chapter re-iterated expect for the last few pages. Still a decent chapter, but hopefully next chapter moves along the plot more than this one did.
7. Mission: Yozakura Family - Happy ending, but the drama from the last chapter was wrapped up incredibly quickly and a bit anticlimactically for my tastes.
8. Mashle - This chapter was passable, but didn't really do anything for me at the same time. I'm looking forward to this weird little battle wrapping up hopefully next chapter.
9. Bone Collection - Sub-par artwork, boring designs, bad pacing, dull characters, generic plot. I'll give it a few more chapters, but this first chapter makes it feel like a prime candidate for the U19 Club.
10. Agravity Boys - Man, this series really likes to bombard the readers with walls of text every chapter. Premise wasn't very good, pacing felt off, didn't really laugh at all.
11. Chainsawman - Still totally clueless as to what's happening. Fast-paced fight scenes where the author is constantly bouncing around between different fighters like this are why I rarely follow this type of action series.

Bone Collection was kinda just ok, it wasn’t anything bad nor boring, but it got nothing to stand up either, guess it can go either way in the following chapters. Mori King def surprised me this week, I got a giggle here and there, and we kinda have a long term goal.

Kimetsu resolved things kinda quick, kinda liked it didn’t got dragged out but I just didn’t find it necessary, like it was just there for some last dramatic situation. Loved Mashle and ChainsawMan, Act Age too.

Yozakura was meh, they kinda resolved things pretty quick, I preferred the last chapter

Hopefully someone translates this. I really like Hirakata's art.
I should get around to Kiruko-san sometime...
I agree, hopefully someone will translate it once it comes out. The characters kind of look like more cartoony versions of Coconuts and Hotaru from WSS's Dagashi Kashi, which I'm really enjoying. Honestly, looking back at it, Kikuko-san's type of plot and humor reminds me a bit of Yozakura. Maybe that's part of why I've been finding a decent amount of enjoyment from Yozakura all this time.

Bone collection is bland and doesnt makes me think that I wanna keep reading the manga. Sorry to say it quickly but it's an axe fodder... there is an reason why the "female protagonist-is an weapon with an typical average mc" thrope isnt always well received, it's either inconsistent or very predictable there is no in between

Bone Collection was bland, to say the least. The art is below average and the story is basic, there's nothing I can really compliment if I'm completely honest. Meanwhile, Moriking had a great second chapter. It was fun, introduced the lore a bit more and was also heartwarming. I'm growing really fond of it. UU was nice, really liked the last 4 pages. Loved Mitama this week, the jokes landed and it's nice to see it's going for another plot development after a while.

Nanao's mini arc has been my favourite part of Yozakura so far, I feel like the series could do more with emotional stuff like this, though I wish this was a bit longer. KNY's pretty emotional especially the last couple of pages. I'm curious to see what's coming next, now to wait 2 weeks for it. AA was amazing in terms of character development, no other current jump series can beat it and Yonagi is the greatest girl. MHA had some great spreads and panelling while keeping the high tension, the last page has me curious about the upcoming events.

3. Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san - Best girl chapter. Beautiful romantic moments in the chapter.
AHHHHHHH BUT THAT'S THE PART THAT KILLS ME THE MOST AHHHHHHH.

Erm. Anyways,...any of you think that Mitama is getting the axe?
