Mashle was great. Loved how they showed the sorting.
MHA - I get why some people thought the chapter was short since it was literally just a set up chapter with large panels. But it was still solid.
Ghostwriter - It's nice to see the protagonist acknowledge and feel remorse over what happened. Will be interesting to see how the next few chapters go.

 

[Melvo]

Undead Unluck and Moriking was really great !

Yugen too, but I don't think the new manga from the writer will be its serialization.

 

[OtterBrigade]

Personally I don't TPN is that close to ending. If it is why axe Zipman and Samurai 8? Just have one of them axed and Demon Slayer and TPN reach natural ending. I think it will go on for a few more weeks to the point they wouldn't have wanted to delay this round.

My votes for the week: Spoiler: Rankings My Hero Academia 272: 9 Haikyuu 394: 7,5 Chainsaw Man 70: 7,5 Yugen's All Ghouls Homeroom: 7 Undead Unluck 17: 7 Time Paradox Ghostwriter 2: 7 One Piece 980: 7 Moriking 5: 6,5 Mission: Yozakura Family 36: 6,5 Dr. Stone 151: 6,5 Mashle 16: 6 Bokutachi wa Benkyo ga Dekinai 159: 6 Agravity Boys 21: 6 Black Clover 251: 5,5 Guardian of the Witch 15: 4,5 Bone Collection 4: 4 The Promised Neverland 178: 3 Honestly TPN is such a letdown, in the last ~20 chapters it gave out the worst.

Zumou ended on #34 and Yozakura only started on #39.

Well......it looks like Bone Collection already has plenty of fanart....

 

[4Eyes]

This week was great.
I got very hyped by Mitama. Even though I'd like it to continue, it really feels it can end in the next arc.
Moriking was wholesome.
Time Paradox is moving fast but consistently, I like it.
Mashle... It's great but every week the story shifts focus. I really would like to know what the author is planning to do. I feel like at this point we should have a clear direction.

This could be another Kiruko-san situation.

Remember when it had an explosion of fanart? Then it ended in 24 chapters immediately despite that fanart boost.

 

[Rain Spectre]

Very standard week. No opinions really changed.

Remember the mess with ZIGA, and the mean-spirited punchline to it?

 

[tirakai]

I think Poro was also a series that got a bunch of fanart? And it joined the U19 club too, couldn't even last 20 chapters.

Gondaira's got a decent run this time though at least with Yozakura, I feel like it might still get cancelled eventually but maybe it'll hit it's first anniversary considering this week's ToC placement.

Here's to hoping

1st week in 9 months I wasn't waiting for a Kimetsu chapter, this feeling

Very standard week. No opinions really changed.

What happened to ZIGA

Undead unluck proves when all else fails, boobs.

Not really, considering all else didn't fail in the case of UU

 

[Bodoro]

At this point, I'll be surprised if Bone Collection doesn't get axed. I think the only chapter I liked was chapter 2 because of the brother, but that's it. What's the opinion of it in Japan (like on twitter, since it's not ranked yet on TOC)?

Speaking of Kiruko-san, I'd like to see the author come back sometime soon, and after seeing the latest Jump GIGA oneshot from this past issue, their artwork still has that silly style to it that I enjoyed. In some ways, Yozakura reminds me of Kiruko-san a bit with its eccentric characters and short fight scenes.

In terms of the new series overall runs thus far: Mitama > Undead > Mashle > Yozakura > Moriking > Ghostwriter > Bone Collection > Agravity Boys > Guardian of the Witch (dropped). Mashle has been on the rise lately, and I haven't been disliking the recent chapters of the other new series it passed over, Mashle has just been quite good lately.

It got a 1 volume sequel on Jump Live

 

[pamuchi]

Well I know this is just a poll and dunno how many ppl participate (bet there are outsiders) but here's the JPN impressions for last week issue. Bone collection is almost in the dead end and Ghostwriter is 6th. Maybe it gives us a little of perspective on these two series. But at the end it its first ranking and sales will tell us.

 

[Azure Warrior]

It got a 1 volume sequel on Jump Live

And how long did it last, was it short or long?

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

And how long did it last, was it short or long?

It was short for Jump Live that quckly morphed into Jump Plus, 1 volume and 4 chapters, this also reminded me that iShojo got special chapters on Live after ending on WSJ and got a full sequel when Plus started and so became a (moderated) success in the platform.

 

[DreamcastDazia]

TPN continues to make me ungodly levels of angry. The fact that this is the same series that put out the Gracefield arc is honestly unbelievable.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels the same
