Really enjoyed Magu-chan, I agree it feels a bit more of a Sunday series than Jump but Sunday's having way better success with comedy/SoL stuff so I'm perfectly fine with that.

Ayakashi Triangle on the other hand isn't capturing my attention, the exorcist stuff just feels so pointlessly forced in and unnecessary so far. It feels like it's just there to pad out the chapters and provide situations for fanservice, but surely in that case it could've come up with something less derivative?

I liked Magu-chan, but I didn't feel like the more... high-stakes tone of the ending worked, I would prefer it was all in the more laid back style of the rest of the chapter. I get it, but I found it to be way too forced to convey the message.

But I really like the slice of life tone! The interactions were cute, and the art and paneling work very well to give the series a sort of more intimate feeling, imo.

Do you consider Magu chan comedy? He is a slice of life but in the comedy part he seemed very restrained.
He didn't seem as exaggerated as Mashle, Agravity boys, Moriking or Mitama.

I know that we have to see the next chapters, but seeing that first chapter I had the same feeling that I have with act age, if it were published in another magazine it would get heavier on the topics covered.

Pretty much everything I think about Magu-Chan was already said, definitely funnier than what I expected, very wholesome and fun, nothing to special but just being a fun read. Could a nice slice of life to follow.

Ayakashi was just ok, I honestly want it to make it just for Yabuki’s art alone lol I at least enjoy the dynamic between our main couple, tho I would prefer if Yabuki doesn’t rely to much on the MotW format and sets more story heavy stuff.

Fujimoto is one big SoB who just toys with my emotions man, nevertheless this new arc it’s been set up is hyping me up

Love how Mashle Can go from just switch from silliness and randomness to a more somber atmosphere, specially with the art.

Ghost Writer finally exploring the Time Paradox aspect again lol, Aino sure is such a good girl, when the whole truth comes out is gonna hit hard. Sasaki’s attitude is actually understandable but he does sound like a broken record at times.

Act age also setting up this new arc has me hyped, specially with the whole 3 actors/one role stuff

Top 10 chapters for me:
1. One Piece
2. Chainsaw Man
3. Black Clover
4. Time Paradox Ghostwriter
5. Mashle
6. Magu Chan: God Of Destruction
7. Moriking
8. Undead Unluck
9. Jujutsu Kaisen
10. Agravity Boys

For Magu Chan. I liked this way more than I thought I would. It was very cute and funny. Mainly, Magu himself was the star of the show. Ruru is a bit weird sometimes but she is overall fine for right now. I see this being a slice of life/comedy which honestly before I was going to be rolling my eyes considering how much gags we have right now but it was very funny and might be more slice of life than comedy which I’m good with. Ayakashi’s second chapter was quite average like the last one but a bit better imo. Still, I don’t think I’ll end up liking this one and I’ll probably drop it because it isn’t very interesting to me. Overall, this week was alright. Just waiting till Friday so we can finally get the next MHA chapter, lol.

I wasnt that big of a fan of Magu-chan's first chapter tbh. I'd say it's slightly below average.

My chapter ranking for this week

1. Jigokuraku
2. Mashle
3. Time Paradox Ghostwriter
4. Ayakashi Triangle
5. Magu-Chan

I really liked the fist chapter of God of Destruction. Loved the comedy and the dynamic between the two characters.

I felt Magu went on a little too long. Hopefully the next couple chapters will be more enjoyable as they're shorter.
Same here. It felt like it was dragging with unnecessary dialogue

I thought Magu-chan was actually paced really well, it introduced Magu right at the start and spent the whole chapter on the two's interactions.

It got into the main content (evil god x girl slice of life) right away, compared to a lot of new series spending most of ch 1 on the main character chatting to unimportant friends and infodumps and such before showing the actual main content in the last 15 pages.
