Whole lot of “I can’t wait to see what happens next chapter!” going on this week. Dr. Stone Gonna have showdowns next week in Candy Flurry and The Elusive Samurai. I think they could both be exciting. Also curious to see what happens next with mAR in i tell c.

Dr. Stone #218 — wow a lot happened fast in this chapter. @ Ginro Neru #18 — well… that was disappointing

The new chapter of The Elusive Samurai was really good Candy Flurry continues to be fun too. Dr. Stone # 201 i tell c was kinda meh. After the mAR chapters, this latest chapter is less interesting/impressive. Still need to read the new DB Super chapter.

Seriously! I don't really understand what is actually happening with X... but I'm curious to see what happens next. Cliffhanger in Akane-banashi this week... please tell me she won the competition! Need to see what happens next week. More good stuff in The Elusive Samurai, but it feels like things went a bit too easily... Waiting for the other shoe to drop This week's new chapters of Wild Strawberry and Chainsaw Man were good stuff too. I have pretty high hopes for Wild Strawberry, but you never know. Let's see next week what this new character is all about.

re: Chainsaw Man Another new DB Super chapter today, more of the movie of course, but I'm still looking forward to reading it. Related: DB Super: Super Hero is streaming on Crunchyroll now, so I think I'm going to re-watch it soon. I really enjoyed it at the theatre.

'Gimmicky' is not a bad way to describe it Also, Earthchild continues to not be over...

Well that’s a bummer

Yeah overall I'm pretty disappointed by how PPPPPP ended. Chapters the last several weeks have been mostly hard to follow, and then the sudden ending. Felt like it was a bit rushed, even if it was already close to reaching the end point. I agree about that one thing though---Lucky slugging his dad on the final page was a nice touch. So much of what led up to it was a mess though Did you ever catch up on Choujin X? A loooooot happened in the latest chapter (35). It was a lot to take in. Not as good IMO as the chapters that preceded it, but it seems like we're building up to more cool stuff happening.

The Elusive Samurai

I decided this week to pick up on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure again. Started on Diamond is Unbreakable a few days ago and I'm nearly 40 chapters into it. I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far. But it does seem to continue the trend of "Here's another stand user, and here's another stand user, and another..." that got tired for me in Stardust Crusaders. It's a bit of a quantity vs. quality imbalance problem IMO. But so far in Diamond is Unbreakable, I have most enjoyed the new stand users that have been introduced. Hopefully it stays that way.

I haven't checked out that new one yet, @Psycho666Soldier , but it's on my radar. Might give it a few weeks before I dig in. Thoughts so far on JJBA + the new stuff from today: JJBA (Finished Phantom Blood yesterday and about 12 chapters into Battle Tendency) HxH #394 The Elusive Samurai #86 PPPPPP #57 Anybody else current on Choujin X? Last couple chapters have had some solid action. This is another one I get a bit lost in though. Releases seem kind of random. Also, don't think I mentioned last week: The latest Show-ha Shoten was really good IMHO. Getting more of a glimpse into Taiyo's story.

I'm with re: PPPPPP, Akane-banashi, and The Elusive Samurai. All have been very good in recent weeks! A bit undecided re: the latest Doron Dororon chapter, but I hope it turns out to be good. Still bummed about Ayashimon Are you caught up on Sakamoto Days? Chainsaw Man #99

I’m right there with you Gimme a happy ending and be done with it! But it’s just a never ending series of bad things happening

Well that's a bummer..! I haven't read anything new from this week yet. edit: Disappointing to see Ayashimon end like that. I was enjoying it quite a bit. The way it ended actually wasn’t too much of a mess, but it wasn’t very satisfying either. I want to see that fight with Doppo…

That threw me off a bit too, I really don't remember Chrome being like that in the anime I don't totally dislike it, but it does strike me as a bit dumb. Chrome can be a bit of a dopey character though, I guess... Thanks for the insight re: Gen's Pig Latin as well. That makes sense. I'm glad they chose to do something with it instead of just discarding it. Pig Latin is fun. I would have gone for Egg Latin, that would be hilarious... but I guess also harder to read

New chapters hit the Jump app a few days early this week. Also there’s a new series, a music manga Gonna check it out this afternoon.

Dr. Stone # 203 Kind of a weird chapter of Candy Flurry this week, but they’ve set up something big for next week There was a lot going on in that second chapter of Choujin X! Pretty random. But there was some amusing stuff. I’m curious to read more.

New series this week, Akane-banashi. I don't know jack about rakugo, but I'll give it a shot. There was enough there in the 1st chapter to pique my interest. Everything else this week was decent. Nothing really major to note, but I did get a kick out of what happened in The Elusive Samurai.

You still keeping up with stuff in Jump, @Psycho666Soldier ? I am still really enjoying everything that's happening in The Elusive Samurai, Sakamoto Days, and Akane-banashi. They are all really going strong. Elusive Samurai and Sakamoto both feel like they could be slowly nearing the end, but who knows. That could still be weeks and months away. In Elusive Samurai, the Intermission chapters were back around #110 if I remember correctly. I kind of took that to be roughly a halfway point in the story. If you're not up-to-date on Akane-banashi then you gotta get caught up! JJK also seems dangerously close to finally wrapping up the Culling Game arc. I sure hope it's done soon. There has been some fantastic action at times, but it's also been confusing and too long. I would be quite happy if the series wraps after this arc. I feel like I've had my fill. Spy x Family and Chainsaw Man have underwhelmed me a bit in recent weeks. They're not bad, but they're also not living up to my expectations and the high standards that the authors have set for themselves. After watching the Mashle anime over the winter, I picked up the manga where the anime left off. Around chapter #75 IIRC, which meant only ~90 chapters to finish the story. I blitzed through it pretty quickly. It was good in general with some great action moments mixed in. The whole thing is very kooky. And times the kookiness works for me, other times it's just kinda dumb.

Dudes! O M G It's happening!!! New chapter coming in 11 days This is not a drill! The whole series right up until the most recent chapter (390) is available on the Jump app! The anime ended at chapter 339, so it's not too much to catch up on if your liked the anime and want to pick it up. Some crazy stuff happens. It's been so long since there were new chapters, I'm probably just going to read everything again starting from 340 to refresh my memory. Oh man oh man oh man oh man I cannot believe this

DB Super #87

New chapter of Choujin X (#24) was good!

I agree that the new chapter was pretty solid. I still don’t find the comedy especially funny, but that doesn’t really take away from the series for me.

Somebody get Vegeta some eyebrows

I polished off Chainsaw Man over the long weekend. I thought the ending was pretty good, though I have to admit I was a bit disappointed to learn at the end that this was only part 1. It was a pretty fun story with a decent ending that didn't leave me with too many questions. I'd rather that just be the end.
