That's a shame. I suppose the writer may have just been trying to tell jokes but I really don't want to touch it with a ten foot pole at this rate.
The same thing ruined Devilman Grimoire for me.

Nope, it's pretty clear that he doesn't try to tell jokes. Lighthearted at times, but no real comedy. The sexual themes are embedded into the story. And it also gets more disturbing as the story progresses while still pertaining this ever optimistic atmosphere. It's a very effective mix, but definitely not everyone's cup of tea. And it's good those red flags are appearing early on also including violence, because otherwise the sudden toneshift would be really incoherent. I could do without the "just wait till ..." edgelords.
Yeah, I'd say an author with pedophilic tendencies may not be many's cup of tea.
Indeed.
In other news, I'll start with Dr. Stone this weekend. I used to stay with long-running shonen that are at the least decent, but finally decided otherwise recently, probably for the better. I read MHA up to the Overhaul arc, seemed like a good stopping point. Seems to be the ceiling of this title? The last two pages sounded like that. Didn't hear too many positive opinions for Stone, though.
You mean the peak of the series thus far? That's still the AfO fight.
Ya something slight
I feel the opposite way, I've lost interest in the students and find the villains a million times more interesting, for me this arc can continue as long as it wants
Don't know what you mean. But I've read up to volume 17 and the quality was actually pretty consistent. I had no favorite thing. But I didn't have the feeling it could get much better either. Most long-running stories tend to just truck along after awhile.
Edit. vol 18, sorry

This arc of mha was long overdo, Shigaraki needed to become a real threat, and having his allies power level shows how much of a threat they'll be going forward.
Shame the MLA got sacrificed for it
Idk, it's just been missing something for me since that fight/arc ended.
World Trigger 182-183
Wonder what twist will occur with the goad ninomiya into an all out attack plan. Will be interesting to see how the battle changes with Chika using normal bullets, which is something this whole arc as been building towards. Excited.
Karasuma putting on a suit to play the role of Ninomiya in practice is hilarious.

For the Gintama fans in here, the anime is back with a movie:
Beauty contest hijinks and other random stuff are just such a drag that it always felt like Dr. Stone has lost its way, its also dont little to nothing interesting with its world beyond the backstory thats been provided at the rate of a slowly dripping faucet sad. also the manga is way too long fortunately the end seems very much in sight.
Think the series needed a clear cut antagonist who would be there at the end of the series and it would have grown, had more fans, and been something that grabbed and held people.
Dr Stone is fantastic, I know I don't post much about it here since most of my thoughts would be "another great chapter" and I'm not sure what else to say. Unless a chapter has a particularly funny joke or has some quirk to translating it you won't see many post on it here. It doesn't have it's own dedicated manga thread like the other big shonen and a lot of the people who read it seem to post more in those threads.
It actually does have it's own thread for the manga

There's really nothing to say, because it's been consistently good for two years now.
Great to know it seems to be good. Didn't have time to start it yet. About manga OT''s, I'm always hopelessly behind them and scared to read because of potential spoilers. Happened last time with Promised Neverland. I'm currently in the middle of the Goldy Pond arc of which I'm sure is already old hat to the residents here. (I miss the excellence of the first arc)
Girl that can see it lastest chapter
Things are starting to get serious the last couple of chapters. I wonder what those animal like twins are doing. I can't imagine them helping her without any kind of pay.
That part when the monster saw her is interesting. Seems like it would indeed mean a bad thing if they realized she can see them.

Samurai 8 Okay, you got me. That was pretty cool. I guess we're about done with the long prologue and going to finally understand what the story is going to be like from here on out.
Yui Kamio 21
Continually confused how this is still going. I think it has good art though.
Last Saiyuki 22
Feels like the end is near.

Honestly only seems to be surviving because other series are doing worse. The Last Saiyuki is already deader than dead and it doesn't look like Beast Children, Double Taisei and Tokyo Shinobi Squad are doing that hot either.
As you said the art is good (I especially like his creepy art), but even after it changed from a supernatural rom-com to a horror-themed battle-shonen it hasn't been that exciting.
Yeah, it's starting to get good now that stuff is actually happening.
Tokyo Shinobi Squad 10
Woot woot back to back page spreads and they looked so cool and epic. Definitely hope we get posters of this series.

Himejima looks like he has an ace in the hole, so I guess that will help
Dr. Stone is excellent. By far one of my favorites in Jump for the past two years.
That's a damn shame. I love it. I hope they're not in a rush to cancel it.
That's a shame too. I like all of those, especially Beast Children and Tokyo Shinobi Squad.
Act Age 76
Build up towards this show continues to be great. Hope we get an Araya focused chapter like this Chiyoko one.
Demon Slayer 169
Cool fighting style. Guessing we will cut back to the snake/Kanroji fight next chapter.
Jujutsu Kaisen 70
The author, as well as pretty much every character in the series) is a giant troll and I love it. The hard cut to the beach and giving the cliff notes of the rescue was hilarious (then skipping past the deadline they set after it).
Samurai 8 13
It turns out having a samurai cat unleash a giant attack with a tooth pick is neat.

I hope you're wrong, because I'm tired of getting into manga only for them to be canceled after barely a year.
Oh goddamnit
Jump really doesn't mess around but it's hard to expect readers to care about new series when we don't even know if they'll be around after 6 months.
Nothing new for Jump.
And most are axed around 20 chapters (or less), which is why it's best to wait until a series gets about a year in before actually getting invested (unless it's already clear early on that it's going to survive).
Mieruko-chan 14 & 14.5
Jesus, Junji Ito would be very proud of Izumi's works because that "barrel woman" is impressively creepy.
+ Tic Neesan 155
That mom is the absolutely worst, but hot.
That's the reason I stated my previous post about Chainsaw Man: If it stays till 100, I'll read it.

Yeah I'm keen to see what he's got up his sleeve. He's already physically stronger and seemingly more skilled than all the other pillars as he is now, so the next chapter should be awesome.
Oh fucking snap! Legit never thought I'd see the day. God this feels weird to see.
Wake me up on episode 150 and the workshop battle.
Anime as in anime or a korean cartoon ?
It's been like a year since I've read any ToG. The Virtual World arc killed my interest in the series, and on top of that, there's SO many characters in that series, and so few I actually care about. I feel like the series lost a lot of its charm somewhere along the way tbh.
I'm looking forward to the anime though. It should be a great time if it gets a quality adaptation, at least until they get on that damn train.

You missed out. Bam versus Virtual Zahard was tight as shit.
