Because a story about slicing the heads of demons is the perfect story for little kids to read /s

I don't know about you guys but when i was younger than some of the voters (which go up to 6th grades which is 11-12yo) I was all about DB and freaking Hokuto no Ken, so...

Because a story about slicing the heads of demons is the perfect story for little kids to read /s

Don't know how it's any different to DC or Marvel comics.
Plus, kids these days are exposed to way worse things via the internet than a manga.

 

[pamuchi]

Did manga + mess up?

 

[Melvo]

for the upcoming ending of Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu's The Promised Neverland manga, which the magazine teases will end "soon."

So that means 20 volumes for the manga ? More ?

 

[Newkerzy]

Bone collection is again, meh.

But....I've got to hand it to the author, he's got good comedic timing, if nothing else.

 

[Stivie]

I said that bone collection would have elements of romance, I was comparing Inuyasha but he remembers Ramma 1/2.
if it works it can steal Yozakura's place.

 

[tirakai]

I actually quite enjoyed Bone Collection ch 2, action's still just there but the characters and comedy were good. I feel like it would be better off as a Yuuna replacement (like early Yuuna which was primarily romcom shenanigans but with action parts) than a proper battle shounen.

 

[Jorden Rivera]

I actually liked this second chapter of Bone Collection a lot more than the first. I think the comedy is a lot better. Also the power seems more interesting, I was really worried because I’ve seen enough sword fighters. I’m still not really sold on the story, but I’ll continue following this.

 

[Magister Xehanort]

Now my curiosity lies in Yuuna-san. Is it finally in the endgame, or will we be fooled like by 10th time already?

I never agreed with most of the times that people said that the manga would end, it seemed that they weren't reading the story, whenever people said that, I thought about how it wouldn't fit because it still had loose ends, things that should still happen in the manga

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

My Hero Academia has been spectacular this week. Easily the best chapter of the entire roster for me this week. My second place is also clear, Mashle has also been very amazing this week. For the 3rd place I should think more.

I've found Bones Collection chapter to be weak. Same for Moriking and Mitama. I've liked Agravity Boys this week after 3-4 weeks being weak. Yozakura again is introducting a new character, but it has had something that could give more depth to the manga in the future.

So Bone Collection was alright, not really feeling it. That Gun was cool though.

Moriking is pretty good. It feels like Mitama at points.

More Jujutsu fight greatnes....good Act-Age and Chainsaw too.

UxU was good as always.

Mitama was different, it was solid, Agravity had an ingenious premise to it's chapter, it was pretty funny.

This MASHLE was actually like, a 9/10 for me. Damn the art was nice this time, especially that spread.

An eh...GoTW.

And it seems that Kimetsu is finally ending..

This week's top 5:
1. Mitama Security - Don't ever take Joh lightly! Nice to see a good bit of butt-kicking taking place in between the laughs.
2. Mashle - Speaking of butt-kicking, this was a fantastic chapter. I believe this is the first time Mashle has entered my top 5, but everything was on-point, including the art and paneling.
3. We Never Learn - Another solid chapter for the Sawako arc. Not too sure who that other maid was next to Misao and Yuiga was though. Probably not anyone too important to what's currently going on.
4. Undead Unluck - The fight scene could've been better, I'm still satisfied with the way things are shaking out. Can't wait to see next week's color page!
5. Act-Age - Although the commercial arc has probably been my least favorite arc so far, this chapter was pretty good. Cute Yonagi keeping her ideals is always a good thing.

The best of the rest:
6. Moriking - Another pretty good chapter, better than the first but not as good as the second. The banter between Moriking and Shoko is always consistently funny.
7. Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san - Too much suffering for the best girl for my taste.
8. Mission: Yozakura Family - A bit of a random chapter, and I didn't really enjoy the new character introduced one bit. Got a couple laughs out of me, but nothing much.
9. Bone Collection - The art is painfully weak on this series. I like seeing cool yokai designs, but the artwork was just downright awful on some of those pages. Not really funny either.
10. Agravity Boys - Another text-heavy, unfunny chapter.
11. Chainsawman - Can't wait for this battle to end and things to start making sense again.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Agravity was amazing this week. Undead was good as always, and Mashle really impressed me this week, GoTW wasn't half bad either. Mitama felt kinda weak, especially after how funny last issues's was. Yozakura I feel could get some (not completely invalid) critique for introducing yet another crazy stalker character, but I found this one to be pretty funny and extreme, and the position he holds means he could be actually plot relevant later, so I think it works. Moriking had some laughs, and I don't really care about Bone Collection at all. Here's looking towards Ghost Writer.

[FireFantasyVI]

Yozakura was it's worst in a while this week. Another new gimmicky character introduced who's in love with Taiyo/and or Mutsumi. Felt very hunter exams inspired so I wouldn't have minded if it was a few chapters long, but it ended up feeling kinda cramped.

Mitama was great, a serious chapter but not necessarily an endgame chapter. Got to see Shakejiro, which is always a plus

Agravity was good, got some laughs

UxU was great, loving the action and use of the powers.

Mash was good, at this point I can say I much prefer the action chapters over the comedic ones, even if it can feel a little violent

Guardian was whatever as usual

Moriking was good, not as much of a comedic chapter but more of a heartwarming one

I liked Bone Collection this week much more than it's first chapter. Not completely sold, but I'm much more optimistic now. Not a fan of the MC though

MHA, Dr Stone, Haikyuu, and JJK were all great this week. CSM was also great but felt a little too fast, even for CSM standards. KnY had a really nice chapter which felt very bittersweet. TPN is certainly ending, probably in about a month or so.

The re-use of the stalker character trope is annoying but pushed to an offensive level with all the jokes involving the character having the MC either pulling his gun out on the character or generally acting mortified at the prospect of someone of the same gender hitting on him.
Homophobia as the crux of a joke is so lazy and as always this series has to re-use the same joke over and over.
