I REALLY liked Ghostwriter, too.

Best first chapter I've read in a long time. The series has a lot of potential and I'm very curious to what the outcome will be!
On a side note, I really hope Jump's editorial department doesn't have any scumbag editor like that one.

 

[savethecat]

Ghostwriter missed a golden opportunity to say that One Piece is still running in Jump in 2030

 

[Drake98]

Alright, I loved Ghostwriter. I think it's going in a total different direction than Bakuman.

 

[OtterBrigade]

I can't believe One piece is ending before 2030

technically since that was just one issue One Piece could have been off that week

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I have to think in my Jump top-5. This week almost 10 manga look like top-3 contender for me. Has been very equal in quality.

Just some notes:
-Time Paradox Ghostwriter: Good chapter 1. I think this can survive. But time will tell. I hope it survives.
-Bone's Collection: is looking more gag than half of the Gagbowl members. I'm feeling this is worse than Zipman or Guardian of the Witch.
-Moriking: I've liked this weekly chapter. Moriking is being my favorite manga of the gagbowl after Mashle for the moment.
-Guardian of the Witch: these last two chapters have been decent, but still it has a lot of ways to go.
-Undead Unluck: amazing

I liked Ghost Writer, not anything that blew me away, but... Pretty good, I'm interesting in seeing how it will developed. There's still much up in the air regarding the work, but it has enough potential.

 

[El Jacco]

I could be biased because I really liked Bakuman too but Paradox was one of my favorites 1st chapters from the whole 2020 debut series. It does has a lot of dialogue and text but still was a really great read throughout all the chapter and man, Date art give it so much enjoyment to the thing even more.
Hope it survives.

 

[MrDropCombo]

Liked the first chapter of ghostwriter but not much so much the aspect of plagiarism (although innocent). I assume the girl is gonna team up with him to write the rest of the story.

Outside of that, the art was great and chapter flowed well. Really felt the emotions of an wannabe mangaka through the MC so will keep a eye out to see where this goes!

 

[Drake98]

If the editors from WSJ were just like that guy from Ghostwriter, there's no way that Bone Collection would get serialized... This chapter is even worse than the last two.

While I loved Ghostwriter and MHA has yet another great chapter (Horikoshi is on fire in this Arc man), my favorite chapter goes to UU. It's just awesome man, Andy going Super Sayajin must be this week best manga moment.

It was only me that really didn't like Kimetsu's final chapter? Won't go into detail because of the rules, but... nothing about that worked for me. It just felt pointless.

 

[Koni]

Time Paradox Ghostwriter... you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention. I'm very intrigued by where this is all gonna go, cause that was honestly quite interesting. The artwork really helped bring out the expressions of the characters. I seriously felt for the MC here and I really don't like the editor at all (in the way the manga intends). I'm kinda iffy on MC essentially copying the manga he got from the future, but I'm sure that this'll be quickly be addressed with the introduction of the main female lead here. Also, I did like how he managed to cut things down well enough to still maintain the appeal of the work, so he does have skill! I'm hoping that the MC can make something that's truly his own one day, and I'm curious as to how the future Jump volumes will continue to come into play. There's some exposition, but it's needed here, especially if you don't follow Jump.

I didn't like it either. It looks like a fanfic

 

[Serinox]

I really enjoyed Time Paradox Ghostwriter. Easily my favorite new series start for quite some time. Very much looking forward how this one will go.

 

[Lil meen]

Tell me why with every new series on jump for manga plus you always have a bunch of people commenting “axebait”

 

[Neala897]

Tell me why with every new series on jump for manga plus you always have a bunch of people commenting “axebait”

Because every new series is axebait until proven otherwise

 

[Kobī-Stan]

I really liked Ghost Writer, but my mother seems to love it already. I hope it does well.

 

[pamuchi]

Tell me why with every new series on jump for manga plus you always have a bunch of people commenting “axebait”

Seems like it's tradition, I can't think of any new manga that hasn't treated like "its gonna be axed". Maybe Boku no hero and neverland? I don't remember any kind of those comments to them.

 

[AbrahamOmosun]

Tell me why with every new series on jump for manga plus you always have a bunch of people commenting “axebait”

So if the series actually gets axed, you can get some satisfaction that you called it since day 1 and prove your superiority over the low minded plebs whose lack of intelligence and poor critique skills could not allow them to see the writing on the wall that such a mid teir manga would never last in the hallowed pages of jump and was never worthy to be called ART.......... Or something like that.

Yozakura was alright this week, looks like it could be setting up some an endgame arc

Mitama was good, but hoo boy the ending flags are bright red. Could just be another serious arc like the baseball game but I sadly doubt that. A serious chapter with a pretty sad cliffhanger just screams final arc

Agravity was good, got some laughs and I liked Luo

UxU was great, the action and the art is incredible. Reminded me of Kenpachi a little bit

Mashle was good, got some laughs out of me too

Guardian was ok, I liked the action. End of chapter could be setting up for the end

Moriking was good, got some laughs, even if the twist was pretty predictable

Bone Collection was good as well, after not liking the first chapter my opinion of it is improving quite a bit now

Ghost Writer was great, interesting premise, solid art, and likeable MC


Dr Stone and HQ were great this week. I'm not the biggest fan of the KnY ending, but I don't dislike it. Felt a little too disconnected from the rest of the series. I liked 204 enough as an ending so I don't really mind this.
