I liked the chapter this week too. There’s more to it than what I might have thought last week, but it’s also not too convoluted. Pretty good balance in that regard. Situation is getting critical again this week in The Elusive Samurai! Sakamoto was short this week

Dr. Stone # 205 — I think I have a new favourite character Candy Flurry # 13 — Making me wait another week for the really good stuff… The exchange between Misaki and the intruder was kind of amusing though. Not much excitement in the latest chapter of The Elusive Samurai, but it expanded on the supernatural stuff that started to get introduced in the previous chapter. Background / world-building. I think it’s pretty cool. There is a new one-shot from the Chainsaw Man creator. It’s long-ish so I haven’t opened it up yet, but I will start on it one night this week.

Speaking of Dr. Stone -- I read a few chapters when I couldn't sleep last night, I think I went from... 84? (wherever it was you told me to start from) through to the end of 90. A lot happened in just a few chapters. I like how ambitious they're being, deciding to build a ship to set off sailing across the ocean, and promptly moving on to trying to find oil and building a hot air balloon to facilitate finding the oil. The loom they made for Yuzuriha was pretty rad too. One minor detail that kinda fascinates me a bit is that sometimes Gen speaks in Pig Latin..? I don't recall that ever coming through in the subtitles of the anime. It seems so random, but I like it. It does leave me wondering though, does Pig Latin work in Japanese..? Like, how are those bits of text written originally in the manga. I can't understand a lick of Japanese, much less read it, so I'm not gonna go down that rabbit hole anytime soon... but it's occupying a tiny bit of space in the back of my mind....

The Elusive Samurai #39

It sure looks pretty dead. I used to use Manga Stream from time to time when Hunter X Hunter would come back from hiatus, but the last time I went to check if HxH was back I noticed that Manga Stream was gone. I don't read a ton of manga, though I would like to read more if it were more accessible. There's actually quite a bit to choose from at my local library, so I should look into that more. Keeping up with the latest Attack on Titan chapters is the main reason I've kept up my Crunchyroll subscription lately, as their anime offerings seem to be getting worse with each season. I never read AoT via scanlations because it's on Crunchy.

Akane!!!! I don’t want to wait seven days for the next chapter

That's too bad about the author of Ruri Dragon. I haven't gotten around to checking it out yet, but I was going to eventually... Any mention of hiatus invariably reminds of the on-going H×H hiatus. Please come back soon, Togashi??? No new chapters since the end of 2018: Hiatus Chart. It hurts to look at that chart

I was behind for a while, guess I just forget to keep reading for a few months... got caught up the other day right up to chapter 125. I can't wait to see this all animated, and to see the reactions from all the anime-only folks

I’m gonna look at Show-ha Shoten! later today. The Jump app says a new chapter is coming in 30 days, but of course that doesn’t tell us how much longer it could go after that.

Sakamoto #163

i tell c and Spy x Family are both on my radar from looking around on the Jump app for stuff that won't require extensive binge reading to get caught up on.

There were some panels in this one where I was pretty clueless as to what was supposed to be happening, but it all made sense in the end. For me, this is a 'It would be really cool to see it animated' manga so far. But in any case, I am enjoying the chapters about the exam!

Elusive Samurai #73

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.

I didn't get to Spy x Family yet, but I just read through the first few chapters of i tell c, and it's pretty amusing so far. Good enough for me to continue reading.

I think I've decided to start with Jujutsu Kaisen first. IIRC the anime ended at around chapter 60-something in the manga, so I'm looking at just over 100 chapters to get current. I probably had about the same amount of reading to do when I started getting caught up on Dr. Stone, and that didn't take me too long. I can get around to Demon Slayer later, or maybe just start watching the anime. I think I'd rather just read the manga and forget about the anime though. I never gave My Hero Academia a chance. There was a lot of hype over the anime when it started, and lots of people seemed to like it, so I guess I just looked the other way instead... Too much to catch up on if I start reading/watching it now, so it's off the table!

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

It's decided then! Claymore is next on the reading list after I finish Death Note

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

@Psycho666Soldier are you still keeping up with all the good stuff in Jump? I have kept up-to-date with everything. Don't really have any specific comments about anything except that JJK continues to be a weird mix of good (at times) but also confusing AF. Just make the Culling Game arc end already Overall, I am enjoying everything I'm following right now. Some of the new titles especially. I'm about 105 chapters into YuYu Hakusho, nearing the end of the Dark Tournament arc. God damn I love this story. Togashi, please return with more H×H chapters whenever you're able

The Elusive Samurai #48 Sakamoto Days #56 Nothing too remarkable about the other new chapters this weekend. As I was reading Doron Dororon, I started to get the feeling it was just going to randomly end, but the last page says 'To be continued!' so I guess it hasn't been cancelled yet.

Yup, I wanted it super bad for Akane. But it's never that easy..! I've got two thumbs way up for both Wild Strawberry and Shojo Null You've gotta give 'em a look when you got a few minutes.
