    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.

    You’ve gotta get caught up on some of this stuff @Psycho666Soldier There has been lots of excitement in Sakamoto Days and Elusive Samurai. Akane just finished a thrilling performance in Akane-banashi. The latest Show-ha Shoten! continued Nazutani’s storyline in a really nice way. Beat & Motion is still awesome. Lots of good stuff in Jump right now! Not sure if you kept up with Choujin X but that series has been on a great roll for a while now too.

    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.

    Yeah for sure. The author succeeded in adding depth and complexity to that character. Basically got me to empathize with a character that I never expected to.

    It’s a good time for getting caught up on stuff. Lots of good action going on in Sakamoto and Elusive Samurai right now. Akane-banashi it still on a good run too.

    I binged a bunch of JJBA Part 6 - Stone Ocean over the holidays. Almost caught up to current. IIRC up to chapter 109 is out on the Jump app. 49 chapters to go to finish it, so that’s basically a year if it’s on a weekly schedule. Stone Ocean was a slow starter for me, similar to Golden Wind, but some of the characters and stands have really grown on me. I am enjoying it.

    I haven’t read all the new stuff for this week yet but I am loving the action in MMA, Elusive Samurai, and Sakamoto! MMA #27 Elusive Samurai #139 Sakamoto #149

    Yeah, it’s nice that the opponent isn’t just a punching bag. There is a bit more depth to it. Here are my top 5 most-read titles this year according to Jump: Should be a few more tied with Sakamoto and Akane, the other stuff I follow weekly, but it cuts off at 5 in the email they send out.

    Sakamoto is the best Yeah I have pretty high hopes for this fight. I really enjoyed this week’s chapter. Tokiyuki is learning on the fly. Really want to see him apply what he’s picking up from Sadamune to take him out. On top of that, there is Kojiro’s fight, and what Nitta is doing. These kids are tough! Agreed! But I am going to be supremely bummed out if Nao doesn’t win

    [Manga Chat]

    Yeah man I am hyped for the next bouts in MMA! Really pulling for Nao to win. I am also hyped for what’s next in Akane-banashi. Elusive Samurai set up a new showdown between Tokiyuki and bug-eye. I’m very curious to see how that goes down. The latest Spy x Family was really good too

    [Manga Chat]

    Yeah, Beat and Motion is very very good. I love it I saw that Blue Box got an anime announced recently, so I’ve been thinking about picking it up. I’m assuming it’s fairly light-hearted. Could be fun. High school romance stuff with a sports theme.

    Wild action in this week’s Sakamoto (#144)! Awesome stuff. I also really liked Elusive Samurai (#134)

    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.

    Chainsaw Man is starting to lose me just a little bit. I'm sure I'll figure out what's going on again soon enough though! I really really enjoyed this week's chapter of Beat & Motion (#20) The latest Wild Strawberry (#11) was pretty good stuff too. Did you give it a try yet? In other news, I am about 25 chapters off from finishing JJBA Part 5: Golden Wind. It was a bit of a tough slog at first because I didn't immediately take to the new cast of characters. And the new JoJo's (err, GioGio) stand, Golden Wind, takes a bit of getting used to before you realized how interesting it can be... but eventually it won me over and really hit a good stride around the halfway point. It doesn't match up to Diamond is Unbreakable (my favourite part thus far) or Stardust Crusaders, but Golden Wind is still pretty solid.

    Yeah man, I did not think I needed more Dr. Stone in my life... but this chapter pulled me back in. I am very curious to see what comes next. I loved the thing with Chrome and Ruri getting thrown in there Also probably the highlight of this chapter for me was actually the nod to Short Circuit (Johnny 7 -- Robots Acquired!!). Man that made me smile.

    MMA #21 Spy x Family #90 was a very sweet chapter. I hope they old folks become recurring characters. Kinda made me miss my grandparents Elusive Samurai #133 was also a very sweet and touching chapter. Shizuku and Ayako are tied for being the best Sakamoto Days #143 Akane-banashi #86 Karurabachi #9 I honestly don't remember all the details from the first few chapters, but I am still enjoying the premise. Action has been good and this concept of enchanted swords is rad. I am enjoying it. I didn't get to reading the new Dr. Stone thing yet, but it's on my list. There is also a new title on the Jump app, Dogsred, about hockey. As a good ol' Canadian boy, I feel it is my duty to read it. If it's sort of an "edutainment" manga then I kind of have to fact-check it a bit. I love a good sports manga/anime, so hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

    Totally. Of course I'll be thrilled if the boys win out in the end, but after all of that "You can never win if you're the opener" stuff, I am 100% on board with Broken Glass Slipper doing what nobody else has done before and winning despite going first!

    I found myself cheering so hard for Broken Glass Slipper to win this competition

    Yeah, I was honestly relieved to see Ichinose end. A few too many random-feeling twists and turns in this story to keep me interested. There were of course good parts too. That's kind of how I'm feeling about JJK right now too. If next week was the final chapter, I'd be like THANK YOU I totally agree on Asumi. I am so into this series. The last couple chapters have been stellar. Sakamoto Days and Elusive Samurai got some pretty sharp looking colour cover pages this week.
