Maybe Ayashimon will move up or it will be stuck in the dead spiral. Earthchild chapter this week show sign of it getting the axe( accelerate pace, introduce new character, going meta,...)which is unsurprised, the idea is nice but the execution is horrible

E.T technically is a Isekai movie

I hope you’re wrong, but it does feel like a saving throw, since the last couple chapters had a feeling of "okay, I have a premise but what do I do now?"

The new character is pretty cool at least.

Meawhile, Akanebanashi has a literal warm-up chapters, with several little techniques to get the audience in your pocket before the show. Pretty nice.

Flippé de participer à ce grand souper, je veux juste m'occuper de taper mon propre tempo.

High School Family has a final grades chapter, nice sight gag for Gomez, and class assignments for the coming year. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Okay I was vibing with Earthchild for a while because I'm into Fluffy stuff like that but most recent chapter just completely lost me. Dunno where it's going now, wouldn't be surprised if the writer's pushing himself or is getting pushed to speed things up.

Surprisingly, Shugo is the first one that move out the bottom 3 among the new series but it probably won't last long. Ayashimon while did decent in sale still stuck in the bottom 3. Earthchild start of at the middle but the real test is whether or not it could keep it rank.

E.T technically is a Isekai movie

Witch Watch actually gave Kanshi a love interest.

‘My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

Yeah, Kanshi, of all people. Lucky him I guess. I also like that Niko's wised up to the fact that her magic frequently goes wrong somehow.

Sakamoto: The Slur guys are literally controlling a dude with remote control. Huh. Oh and Shin won against the Sakamoto fangirl. Of course he did. But now he's thinking he does need some sort of finishing move.

Akane-banashi: Akane didn't only adapt to her audience, she pulled her audience into the rhythm she wanted to be at. Cool little extra step she took there.

Doron Dororon: Those high-level mononoke sure weren't a threat. This manga still needs better antagonists. The action was also oddly mediocre this chapter, even the finishing kills didn't have much impact.

Goodbye, Eri is Fujimoto's latest mind-screw oneshot. Read it, and blur the lines between fiction and reality.

Did Earthchild just reveal that the MC have a kid with an underage girl? Also the author really winging it at the moment.

E.T technically is a Isekai movie

Sakamoto Days: So is the Sakamoto fangirl dead or just incapacitated?

yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh kinda

Probably just incapacitated.

Both Earthchild and Doron Dororon are really speeding to their endings. Elusive Samurai also threw in final arc setup, but at least that one is probably going to be a full length arc.

If Elusive Samurai is going to stick close to history then Tokiyuki's story won't end with this upcoming revolt.

Doron Dororon has heavy axe vibes, which particularly sucks when the FMC got completely sidelined by the new mentor character.

Earthchild feels like it is kinda losing the plot, so it getting the axe would not be a surprise. Add yet another one to that editor's tally...

Ayashimon still feels uncertain. It would be a shame to see it go.

Fujimoto knocked it out of the park with the most recent oneshot, yet again. He'll be a generation-defining author for sure.

Mashle and Undead Unluck both seem to be in a home-stretch. Jump gonna be really short on surviving series soon...

-sigh- Lost passwords...

Ayashimon isn’t going out when the axe is so much closer to not one, but two mangas’ neck. It’s a shame but Dororon will have to take one for the team. Ayashimon deserves to live.

I feel like Earthchild has spent the last 4 or 5 chapters doing and explaining what it could have in 1 or 2… I want to get invested but the story just will. Not. Start. Seriously, so far the series has spent 70% of its run in one place with he same three or four characters talking endlessly and staring at a screen. For the love of God, DO SOMETHING.

Sure, Kareri may be chronologically underage, but there's no disputing her capacity to consent to marriage and sex, nor was there in any way a power differential in this relationship that would render consent dubious. I don't see any issue with the MC marrying and having a kid with a consenting adult.

That's really its biggest issue, ain't it? I was vibing with it under the idea that it would've settled into a status quo by now but it refuses to do so. The last two weeks have completely reshuffled everything so much that now I no longer know where it's going anymore. It wouldn't surprise me if it just wraps things up within the next five chapters and tries to sell whatever it can as a one-volume mini.

Yep, when the story is nothing but curveballs it disorients the readers.

It’s basically like a car spinning its wheels and doing stunts on the starting line while forgetting it has a race to run.

Shonen Jump+ Will receive 3 new series

Edited by slimcoder on Apr 11th 2022 at 1:20:35 AM

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

So aside from Doron Doron and Earthchild, who else is getting chopped to make way for the third series?

As for the upcoming mangas:

• Marriage Toxin sounds interesting, and the promotional art looks good.
• Bubbles: Didn't watch the anime, but the synopsis sounds really cliched even if the trailer's visuals were amazing. And if the one shown on the site is the actual manga art, it looks like a downgrade.
• Camellia Curtain: Interested to see how it goes. i tell c was over-reliant on the MC's quirky gimmick that went old fast. The stage production premise might be a better setting to showcase quirky characters though, so it might fare better.

Jump+ is digital releases. They don't slots in the physical magazine.

There no announcement for new series yet but almost certainly Shugo gonna get cut alongside Doron. Their placement and sale just terrible.

E.T technically is a Isekai movie

They even phrase her perception as "I have no memories from under the age of 10". It's definitely more a nearly-Born as an Adult situation, and she's had around a decade to emotionally mature like a normal adult.

The standard for a weekly manga is 7 chapters in volume 1, 9 chapters in other volumes.

I’ve thought about it before, but it’s interesting to see Witch Watch addressing Keigo’s feelings about being the “normie” in the group.
