Yeah I’m super curious about Shin’s apparent new technique in Sakamoto Days. Mind control??? Unless those last few panels were just a misdirection and it has nothing to do with Shin—that would be pretty fun I totally agree re: the last chapter of Akane-banashi. What a beautiful thing. If Taizen doesn’t acknowledge that performance then I’m gonna be mega bummed out.

Maybe the whole point of the Culling Game is to actually kill all the manga readers I didn't check out Ice-Head Gill. I kind of got out of the habit of checking out every new series. I'm already following quite a few. Sort of waiting for something to end before I start on yet another new one.

Doron Dororon is getting good -- big showdown coming up! And somehow Earthchild still is not over yet. This story is crazy and stupid

Dr. Stone I am also enjoying all the other stuff I'm following. PPPPPP continues to be compelling in spite of its flaws. Elusive Samurai is still good stuff. I'm maybe a bit opposite to you re: Ayashimon in that I thought the 1st chapter was strongest, and the following ones were a bit weaker, but I am still interested enough to keep reading it for a while. There are some fun ideas in there. Did you read DB Super 78? Great stuff. Also, I noticed what appears to be a new title on the Jump app (Doron Dororon) as well as a new Choujin X chapter so I gotta check those out later.

Also really been enjoying Kagurabachi. It's only up to 31 chapters so far. Still relatively quick and easy to get caught up on.

Chainsaw Man #163

I decided to start up on Undead Unluck last night. I only made it through the first chapter before I got sleepy. Pretty kooky. Seems like it will be fun. I wonder how many weeks it will take for me to get caught up 200+ chapters!

This week's new Chainsaw Man chapter was a good one. Hopefully we get back to more excitement soon and Denji gets his groove back. Feels like something big is about to happen.

I’m not familiar with that channel but I’ll give the video a watch later. I’ve only read two of the new chapters from this weekend so far. The latest Elusive Samurai chapter had a bit of an epic feel to it. Big things are about to happen! The fight going on in Sakamoto Days continues to be pretty good too. Gonna read everything else today. There was also a new series dropped yesterday—Super Smartphone. Not a super inspired name But the description sounds like it could be interesting: Kyu solves crimes when he finds a phone that can search for anything in existence, but can he use it to find his missing brother? I’ll give it a try.

Dr. Stone - Finished chapter 100 yesterday. I am very curious about "Why-man" and what they are going to encounter on the Treasure Island. I hope the next story arc is fun. When reading this, I'm trying to turn off the part of my brain that takes exception with Dr. Stone, because it is a comic after all... I think what irks me is there is all this science talk, like there is a realistic, scientific basis for all of the stuff Senku does, but at the same time some things seem so incredibly unrealistic. It's a bit of a disconnect. The science stuff can be interesting and all, but I think I'd rather get rid of that element and just make it unrealistic and fantastical. In any case, I guess I'll enjoy it more if I overlook the science-y stuff I also started reading the DB Super manga last night on a lark. I think I started at chapter 42, somewhere around there, I looked it up on a wiki. After the tournament with all of the other universes (the manga just glosses over the Broly movie). Goku and Vegeta are joining the Galactic Patrol. Might be fun! I don't know if/when more anime is planned... so I'll just take in the manga and be happy with that.

Dr. Stone #223

Akane-banashi I am happy to read that Earthchild is over. Phew. I’ll read that chapter later. I’m pretty pumped for the next chapter of PPPPPP ! What is Sorachika’s playing going to be like?

DB Super #78 - Another solid chapter. This arc has been constantly very good IMO. Dr. Stone #219 Ayashimon #2 — Not as good as the first chapter, but also not terrible. I’ll keep reading I don’t have any spoiler-y comments for PPPPPP but I am still enjoying it. Gotta wait another week for more Elusive Samurai

I blitzed through the hockey manga (Dogsred) last night. It is a hit in my books! It's honestly been a long time since I considered myself a hockey fan, but I still have a soft spot for it at times. This is perfect. Outside of the hockey stuff, you can kind of sum it up as a fish-out-of-water story (at least to begin with). The main character is a talented figure skater who, for {reasons} finds himself up in Hokkaido, estranged from figure skating (but still loves skating) and then all the sudden he gets roped into playing a game of hockey. It really takes off quick. I didn't want to put it down. And the "edutainment" portion of it about hockey and skating in general seems pretty on point so far. I like it I also finished off JJBA Part 5: Golden Wind yesterday. It had a very strong finish and might have jumped up to #2 in my rankings of the JJBA I've read so far (with Diamond is Unbreakable as the clear #1). The final showdown with the bad guy gets confusing at times because of the crazy stand abilities involved, but the author takes care to remind pretty frequently exactly what's what. My one complaint about Golden Wind is probably the awkward stand names in the version of the manga serialized in Jump, but I'm assuming that's like a copyright/legal problem and not a bad localization. Most of the stands are named after bands and they were probably going to have issues with those bands (or their management, record companies, etc). But when you know what the name is supposed to be (e.g. Sex Pistols) and then they keep calling it something else (in this case, Six Bullets) it just hits a bit different. A few of the "other" names work well though (e.g. King Crimson was a great name choice, but Emperor Crimson is a pretty cool alternative). Part 6: Stone Ocean is still being serialized in Jump... looks like they're about 2/3 of the way through. So I will start reading that soon and eventually get current on it. I am looking forward to the change of scenery away from Italy in Stone Ocean, and to the return of Jotaro in some capacity.

Good weird or bad weird? Or just weird weird..?

I'm gonna check that out later, didn't get to it earlier. Speaking of new series, I'm still waiting for more Choujin X... I wonder what's going on with that one. The first chapter was enough to pique my interest.

You guys check out the new series this week? (Kagurabachi) I thought the first chapter was pretty rad.

Yeah I kind of have a thing for her too Great supporting character!

First chapter of Choujin X is on the Shonen Jump app -- new manga from Sui Ishida. I never read the Tokyo Ghoul manga because I watched the anime, though IIRC there were differences so maybe I should go back and read that manga eventually... but I did read Ishida's HxH one-shot, Hisoka's origin story, and I thought it was really good. I like Ishida's style.

Candy Flurry #19

Just got caught up on Sakamoto Days. I picked a good time! Last few chapters have been exciting. All the other new chapters were solid this week too. No major stand-outs, but everything was good.

DB Super #102 — We’re officially past the events of the Super Hero movie now. It hasn’t launched into a new story arc yet but I assume it will eventually. This was a fun “let’s see who’s stronger now” sparring chapter which is going to carry into at least one more chapter. I liked it.

Akane-banashi #92

Dr. Stone Elusive Samurai Sakamoto Days

Did you have a look at the new one on Jump this week? Ayashimon. I'm about to read it now so I'll report back with my thoughts later... edit: That was a pretty damn fun first chapter
