With Hinomaru (possibly) ending very soon, they definitely need another long-running sports series.

They currently have Haikyu and Double Taisei. We'll see what the next wave of manga brings.
Dunno if Double Taisei is guaranteed to have a great lifespan either. It's been consistently near the bottom of the Table of Contents since it launched. I know that doesn't necessarily mean much, especially before its first volume has hit shelves, but it certainly doesn't feel like a great sign.

Samurai 8 10
Oh hey, something actually happened. Me continuing to read will probably depend on where things go from here.

Double Taisei 9
Man I wanna like this so bad. It has all the ingredients that I loved in Hikaru no Go, but for some reason I'm just still not hooked here.

Beast Children 8
Is the focus of this story going to shift again already? Starting to get whiplash.

Tokyo Shinobi Squad 7
Papillon's a badass, I like her a lot and I hope this is a sign that she's going to be consistently important. I'm glad she has a Ninpo and the way they debuted it is DOPE AS HELL, but it's obviously going to lend itself to a lot of fanservice. Hopefully it doesn't reach unbearable levels.

I think I'm going to get an SJ subscription soon. Any recommendations for an SJ app manga without an anime adaptation? As you may be able to tell, my tastes are pretty varied and I'm really in the mood to discover new stuff right now.
Well I always recommend people give World Trigger a shot. It has an anime, but it's bad and has arguably less animation than the manga.

Just read the new We Never Learn chapter and holy shit at the popularity poll

Kirisu got more votes than all the remaining top six combined! I knew she was popular, but I don't think I've ever seen a blowout like this before.

Chapter itself was super dumb, with boob based time travel, but it was fun.

She got more votes than literally every other character combined, given she had over half the total votes lol

I wonder if the mangaka and editor behind wnl is trying to figure out a way to actually make a Kirisu end work, they might have rioting in the streets if they don't.

For real. I never even thought she was a realistic possibility due to her being the teacher but now that there's two polls in a row with her coming first and her simply crushing everyone else this time, I don't see how the author can afford not to have her be the one.
But I'm still not quite sure how it would work.

I would hope the author wouldn't change anything they already have set due to popularity polls.

The series just introduced time travel so either the author is down with jumping the shark, or the series always had a crazy ending planned :P
If that's what the author has planned then fine, but I would hope they don't change anything due to popularity polls. They tend to be a bad metric for anything.

I don't really think time travel will make another appearance after this, I feel it will be like all the other supernatural and weird stuff that pops up as a one off (The skeleton and the ghost girl for example). I'm not even convinced this Yuiga will even remember anything about this chapter as well.

Great stuff as usual.

Atomic Samurai and Homeless Emperor got seriously buffed in this version. Seems like all of the other cadre fights are gonna get extended as well, which should be fun.

As Platinum End's sales decline ever so gradually.
I suppose that I am one of the few that are still radint it and buying the physical volume (I have tto pick the volume number 10 this week since it is available from Thursday). And anyway it will take at least another year to conclude, it seems that even the sales are not good the authors are given the time to properly conclude it. Besides, the second part of the manga had really good aspects, it is a pity that they will be barely read.

Incredible, I didn't expect such a difference between Kurisu and Fumino. With this result, I would not be surprised if she will really be the "end girl"

The last page is too much for my heart, so fun and unexpected! Iino will be forever traumatized by this answer.

I appreciate that Ishigami wasn't just looking for a quick score. Ishigami arcs continue to be the best.

In English the word "hard" can refer to both boners and to difficulty. So Ishigami saying it's still hard can be taken to mean that he's still having a difficult time with getting rejected while Iino understands him to be saying he still has a raging boner. Does a similar double meaning exist in Japanese?

Being Ishigami is suffering. I'm glad he's was actually looking for love and not a one night stand at least. The last page cracked me up as well.

This manga keeps surprising me between Kashiwagi probably getting teen pregnant and now with one night stands being acknowledged. This "romcom" is a lot more mature with its storytelling than initially thought.

I'm just waiting for the chapter where Kashiwagi and her boyfriend go to Kaguya and the prez for advice on their teen pregnancy just as the two of them are finally thinking about doing it.

I really wasn't expecting any of that either myself

I liked it, the writing was a bit clumsy and heavy handled, but I feel like the manga had heart and good pacing, and it captures the reader's attention pretty well. The answers to the misteries... well some of them worked, some of them ddidn't. It managed to develop all characters overall, though some of them needed more screentim (I would have liked to see more of Lucca, personally).

The comedy was mostly miss though, but I understand it's basically the author's style

Tomo-chan [END]

I'm fine with this ending. The confession happened and they got together. I fully expect another few chapters with the volume release in a few weeks though.

I think all the hiatuses hurt the series though. It kept losing momentum as a result.

Yeah, that's my take as well. The last chapters also came in batches and felt rushed, so the pace at the end was a mess
If we had gotten one chapter a day for the whole run it would have been fine. But it's felt on and off. Reading it all at once will probably feel fine.
