    re: Sakamoto: I was starting to feel pretty tired of movie guy, so I hope this is the last of him for a while now. The fighting in this chapter was good though. Akane-banashi Tokiyuki's the best Choujin X continues to be exciting. Consistently several very good chapters in a row now

    Yup Me too. It usually starts to make sense eventually… maybe next chapter will clarify things a bit.

    HxH is on hiatus again. I figured it was going to happen again soon, but it is still a sad thing to see.

    I finished JJBA: Stardust Crusaders last night. The short review: I actually enjoyed it a lot in the end. There was a stretch there when I was not enjoying it. I think it was a bit a ‘quantity over quality’ problem with so many stand users introduced one after another. Some were just too silly for me. But once the team hit Egypt, the enemy stand users got more interesting and everything got better as a result. The final chapters against Dio were especially good. I am in no hurry to start reading Diamond is Unbreakable, but I will continue with it someday in the future.

    Have you still been reading Choujin X? The last few chapters have been pretty awesome

    Anybody else get the Shonen Jump year in review email? Apparently my top 5 most read series of 2022 were: Jujutsu Kaisen Death Note JJBA: Part 2 (Battle Tendency) Hunter × Hunter PPPPPP I assume that the other current stuff that I read weekly that have been running all year (Elusive Samurai, Sakamoto, etc., etc.) would rank about the same as PPPPPP in terms of number of chapters, but the list cuts off at 5. Kind of surprised that JJBA: Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders) didn't make the cut, because I'm like 90 chapters into it now (decided to just soldier on and finish it). I guess the metrics were taken a bit before the email was sent out.

    Lots of good stuff this week! No spoilers, just some random thoughts: Tokiyuki is a very good leader The revelations in Sakamoto this week explain a lot! I think we're going to be seeing some serious fireworks in HxH soon, and I cannot wait I am once again a little bit lost in PPPPPP, but it was a beautiful chapter in any case I'm pumped for Akane to hopefully make another breakthrough soon I read the second chapter of Fabricant 100 but already forgot what happened Today will be the day I check out The Ichinose Family--I will report back about it later Also, I'm 40-something chapters into JJBA: Stardust Crusaders and... I dunno. Some of the action has been good, but it's not a very compelling story for me. At times it just strikes me as dumb. I will probably finish it because I don't like to leave things unfinished. It won't take that long. I read a few chapters each night before bed because I don't have any books on the go right now. Unless there is a very strong finish that leaves me wanting more, I'm going to put the rest of JJBA on the backburner for a while and maybe come back for Part 4 sometime next year.

    I didn't check out Fabricant 100 yet but I think I will. Something about the teaser for it piqued my interest. I totally agree re: The Elusive Samurai Samurai. That last panel Are you caught up on Sakamoto? The last few chapters have been really good! Also have to mention the recent chapters of HxH: The Phantom Troupe's origin story was fascinating and heart-breaking at the same time. Some of the panels in the chapter this week... Oh man. Please never go on hiatus again, Togashi.

    Yeah, for a while there I was trying out every new series, but it's disappointing when something you start to like gets cancelled. Now I'm just going to wait and see what actually sticks around, see if there is some hype or if other folks recommend it to me, and then maybe pick it up.

    Yeah I'm still loving The Elusive Samurai Haven't got around to reading Ichinose Family yet, but maybe this week..!

    JJBA update: I finished Battle Tendency. In the end I found it dragged a bit. Overall, I might have actually liked Phantom Blood a bit more. I'm a few chapters into Stardust Crusaders and it seems like it's going to be good. Stands are an interesting new thing. PPPPPP #59 The fight currently going on in Sakamoto Days is really good stuff. All the other stuff I'm following weekly was good but I guess there was nothing really worth remarking on, except that I was disappointed to only get a special illustration from Spy x Family this week Two more weeks until a new chapter.

    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.

    That's a bummer about your health situation. Hope you start feeling better soon. re: JJK: The Shibuya Incident was a pretty tough act to follow! Some cool stuff has happened in the Culling Game arc but yeah it hasn't been as good. I'm thinking about taking a dive into JoJo's Bizarre Adventure as the next thing I start reading...

    Quintuple posting... @Anelle and @Psycho666Soldier where'd you go? I am current on Jujutsu Kaisen now. I am not enjoying the current arc (The Culling Game) quite as much as the previous one, which I thought was fantastic (The Shibuya Incident), but it's still been pretty solid anyways. Still thrilled that HxH is back in my life. Also still worried that this arc is so big that Togashi may never finish it There is so much going on. Elusive Samurai PPPPPP Also, I love the colour Rakugo Quest cover page for Akane-banashi this week!

    Oh yeah, HxH is back! It's a shame that the return from hiatus happened to coincide with a chapter that didn't feature any primary (or even secondary) characters. Not the most exciting point in the story for a return. But there was a very slick cover page featuring Gon and Yusuke, so I was thrilled to see that. So many things are happening concurrently aboard the Black Whale. I hope Togashi can churn out a good amount of chapters before the next hiatus, because I'm so curious to see how it all plays out! Other things: I'll say it yet again: The Elusive Samurai is very good! The last few chapters have been so satisfying The latest Akane-banashi was great--you show 'em, Akane! The action going in Sakamoto Days lately has been really good too edit: I forgot to mention, I've been reading Jujutsu Kaisen at a pretty quick pace. I cannot wait to see the next major story arc get animated (The Shibuya Incident). It is nuts. There is so much going on all at once, several different fights, lots of different characters involved. It's a bit reminiscent of the Palace Invasion during the Chimera Ant arc in HxH in that regard.

    All caught up on HxH and excited for a new chapter! This is a pretty massive story arc. Togashi has given himself a lot of work to do! I can't help but wonder how long it will take for him to finish, if ever... Oh well, hope for the best.

    I'm about 15 chapters away from current on HxH. Can't wait for a new chapter! I'm very happy with my choice to re-read these chapters, because oh boy does it get complicated. I might have to start taking notes Elusive Samurai #82

    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

    So I started reading Jujutsu Kaisen on the weekend and blasted through 64 chapters since then. I am almost at the point where the anime ended. This was a great refresher. There were definitely a lot of details I've forgotten, so I'm glad I didn't try to pick it up where the anime left off. Can't wait to keep reading more! Also, Todo is the best
