Well, glad it's nothing related to that. :p
As for Denpa, saw someone mention that they also included translation notes for Kaiji. That'll definitely be needed for the shogi/food terms in 3-gatsu.

It had to happen. Spy x Family is arguably even better than Chainsaw Man in terms of the newer WSJ manga.

Jesus, that was fucked up
Tsurumi is such a great villain. The guy is completely off his rocker, yet aggressively competent and entertaining as hell. He's basically a Jojo villain in a more grounded universe lol

After three whole months we finally got to see what happens after the sadistic cliffhanger.
Busujima really is in love with Iori. I don't buy that she wanted to come after him for his "money" and that she wanted him not to have fun. She kissed him twice, thought about smashing him, was looking for him the whole day and her past interactions with him all seemed to hint she has a crush on him. Iori and the rest seem to not believe her though.
I gotta say though, Iori's friends are annoying and I wish they had less scenes. I don't mind them having chapters as some of them were funny but this chapter in particular I didn't care for them.
I don't really mind if that happens if I am honest. She and Iori feel like a married couple and their scenes are really fun. Next chapter sounds like it could be fun.

I never expected this lore to be so interesting when this started coming out.
About time we learned what the heck is going on with the shrine. The spirit seems to have seen her so this should be interesting and we might finally learn what the deal is supposed to be. Hopefully this will give the poor girl a break for once.

Ah, classic Anya shenanigans sure hit the spot. So many good reaction shots in this one, the page with the tests is hilarious.
Reminder that Anya lied about her age so that Lloid would adopt her back in Chapter 1. No wonder she struggles so much with school, she's like a year younger than the other kids.

Cutest chapter ever, best friends indeed. More proof that this manga is at its best when Roboco isn't involved.

From OniBarubary:
I'm curious about her apparent knack for classical language and what that's meant to imply. Something regarding her family that maybe also involves the origin of her powers?
They don't bring it up really so it's quite easy to forget at times. She is noted to have made some improvement though. I'm sort of surprised we never came back around to that discovery Loid made that of things were framed around Bondman she was able to understand the math problems. I thought that might lead to him finding an approach that actually had some success and further improvement.
I still think we could do with more Yor focused chapters. I thought I read some thing about the author being worried focusing on her job as an assassin could make her unsympathetic or something like that, but I do wish we'd get more from her.

Good final scene.
Manga should start off with this arc, its incredible.

Ninokuru x Matsuri chapters continue to be the best. How he was worried he'd never be able to talk to Ninokuru again was cute, and he can call him Soga now. Aw.

A little worried for this, felt like things that should logically happen way later are happening way too soon. The house last chapter and now this new group of Annexes, why so hasty.

Wait, for reals, seriously?!

Shin is such a kid paying assassin like this, love him and the energy and hype he brings and also his mind reading is back.
Am guessing Nagumo will ask them to help the association out.

Predictable even more since everybody and their grandma was suspicious about him. Its best written chapter...but the start of the manga should have actually start showing a scene of Aioi being kidnapped and escaping then jumping to present. I would have put this appearance much later than this, especially since on one hand, its like, why and how did he know she would be here at this place?
Nine Dragons' Ball Parade 4
Ugh this suspense, I can't.

Inspired by JJBA lol.
Mash is proud of Finn! Good chapter.

Lol here i was thinking the evil guy last chapter was a red herring but nope he was it, about time evil group comes in this exam was never really going to finish since they hinted about them.
Pretty good chapter, I like the whole fighting system so far, used both for combat and building. Also pretty interesting that it uses lifespan since it could lead to some interesting situations, Smith even implies that didn't waste any probably because his body is somekind of fortified building itself.

I thought that was apparent last week when they fucking disarmed the killer, and then RAN AWAY, leaving him to pick up his weapon again. How did the editor sign off on that.
This might be fastest I've ever seen a surefire axe on the way, right up there with Our Blood Oath
I'm really enjoying 9 Dragons and Witch Watch. I'll probably be dropping off Elusive Samurai this week and come back later if anything
Yeah Dragons is starting rather nicely and there's something fun about witch watch that gives me a good laugh every week. The class being completely nonchalant about the pair of them not being human is a fun and hilarious mixup. I can see a spell that makes everyone look like the teachers references coming from half a mile away
Witch Watch 5
Cute chapter! Everyone had fun flying (and playing Dragonball) and Moi is accepted by his peers as an ogre.
Spy x Family 42
Macrons didn't work :p Does make me curious on Anya and her powers... Origin story, soon?
Dragon Baseball 4
Really enjoying this! Pretty clear with all the hints this chapter, with why this super player quit. Working at the store and taking care of siblings? Imma go with "something happened go his parents and he has to work to take care of the young kids and has no time to be on a team".
Wandering Samurai 7
I want to like this, but 7 chapters in and I'm not liking how it flows, despite the great art. I'm curious with how it'll rank/sell.

To add another perspective, here are my thoughts from a bit back:February 2021 Recommendation: Shimanami Tasogare (by Yuuki Kamatani)
From OniBarubary:
Cross-posting something I wrote in the comic thread.
I started reading an interesting manga this week. It's called Shimanami Tasogare or Our Dreams at Dusk. Before I move on, I want to talk about the title a bit. It literally translates to Shimanami (a city in Hiroshima prefecture) twilight (or dusk), or "Twilight Shimanami." The title is super clever, though, and I unfortunately have to get into Japanese linguistics to explain why. The way it's written in Japanese is しまなみ(Shimanami) 誰そ彼(Tasogare). The way tasogare is written here is non-standard. The kanji (Chinese characters. Yes, Japanese uses Chinese characters in addition to their own native syllabary writing system) used are for "who" and "that (or him)," though the kanji typically used for the word are 黄昏 which are for "yellow" and "dusk/dark." The latter makes far more sense for a compound that means dusk, yeah? So the etymology of tasogare is that it was originally written with the kanji "who" and "that (or him)" because of a Japanese phrase "Who is that?"(そこにいるのは誰ですか) being asked as it got darker, because you couldn't make out their faces as well. Therefore, the characters used for "who" and "that" became a word for that time of day. Etymology is interesting!
So, why the fuck does that all matter?? The title of the manga is evocative of a beautiful image. Shimanami is in Hiroshima on the coast, nearby the famous Shimanami Kaido series of bridges connecting islands. So, just hearing the words together "Shimanami Tasogare," Shimanami at twilight—it may bring to mind something like this for many in Japan:
The story, though, is about a high school boy being outed. He's finding his identity and grappling with coming to terms that he's gay in a society that doesn't accept that very well. So, while the title accomplishes the task of establishing a setting for would-be readers and pulling them in with beautiful imagery, it's a pun by using the original way of writing the word (that is seriously out of use today) to say, "Who is he?" for a story about growing up and finding one's sense of self.
The author is non-binary and writes in mainstream publications. That is huge! I've never heard of such a thing in Japan, because while the west still has a way to go in terms of gender equality, Japan is like the American 1960s with gender in many ways. Because of the author's background, they're able to fill the story with complex LGBTQ characters that you very rarely see treated so well in manga.
The manga isn't perfect, but I'm only halfway through, and it shows a lot of promise. I sincerely apologize if that was difficult to understand, but I did my best to explain. Thanks for indulging my idiosyncratic love of comics and language!
They introduced this character in chapter 4, while I can't say for sure that this won't be canned early, this feels like it was the plan like a much worse Johan reveal in Monster.
Yeah I have no idea what they're doing in i tell c. It's just... either they intended this character to be somebody else, and the axe fell so fast that they rewrote them into being the endgame baddie so they can close things out, or this was intentional, in which case... it's such a weird choice, that I gotta imagine that if the axe wasn't coming before, it probably is now.
I'm gonna say something bold and brave. I think i tell c is bad.
I'm double brave because I said this last week.
I'm double brave because I said this last week.
I haven't liked it since ch 1, honestly. Did nothing to me, and sounds like those on here that did enjoy it's start, are.... not so much now :/ (I'm actually behind 2 chapters cause I got busy and it was low priority...)
I dunno if I'd say I liked chapter one. I thought it was fucking weird and was willing to give it a chance. It just feels so amateurish, though. The characters, the events, the cases, the plot... none of the writing feels good to me in any way. I dropped it last week because it wasn't even amusing me.
The biggest issue is that it's not DOING anything. It set up its core premise and then immediately started flailing around. No idea why.
It's really odd, because one would expect AT LEAST the first 2-3 chapters to have solid pacing or execution in some manner. Did editors just go "Do whatever the fuck you want?" It absolutely starts flailing instantly after the setup, and I've never seen something quite like it.
I am generally suspicious of editors in these kinds of contexts, so I would more expect that whatever plans they had got 86'd and this is them desperately trying to pick up the pieces.
Like, what even is this? You go chapter 1, explain the girl. Chapter 2, explain the boy. Boom, you're rolling, now you start giving them cases aaaaand instead of that we get this weird half-assed version of a serial killer arc. So damn weird.
Maybe it had the same kind of idiosyncratic domestic pushback that Time Paradox Ghost Writer got?
This is the only explanation. It's just absolutely illogical what is happening with it. Anyway, let me know if it miraculously recovers in the next few chapters before it dies. I dropped it and have no interest in returning.
Yeah, will do.
It's a shame, I quite like the art. Reminds me a lot of Kemono Jihen. Was looking forwards to another Jump mystery series too.
I would've loved to have another good mystery manga. Kindaichi was my first manga ever, so mystery still has a special place in my heart.
Yeah, the direction i tell c is going is baffling. I was hoping it'd prove itself with decent mysteries, but they didn't even try to have one-off mysteries.
Now I wouldn't be shocked if the next chapter suddenly introduced supernatural elements.
Now I wouldn't be shocked if the next chapter suddenly introduced supernatural elements.
I mean if the original outline for the series was
Mystery 1- establish female lead
Mystery 2- establish male lead
Mystery 3- establish main villain
That doesn't look too unreasonable for a series to do, especially if you have 2-3 chapters per mystery story line you'd expect to finish mystery 3 somewhere between chapters 6-9 which is what will happen here. Deranged Detective which I don't think anyone is questioning started the arc that introduced it's main villains between chapters 9-13 so I tell C isn't so egregiously earlier then that.
Again I'm not placing any bets about ITC surviving long term in Jump, but I feel there's been a lot of confirmation bias here. Like go back to chapter 4 for ITC, Aoi instantly has this "...have I met you before..." reaction to the mysterious novelist, and he has a creepy smile before deflecting and changing the subject. We know the first 3 Jump chapters are usually done in advance of a series serialization started, and chapters 4-6 were probably well into outlining/paneling for any kind of crazy pivot to happen. I think the next 2-3 chapters will be far more telling with how this character is dealt with in terms of how much of this was planned vs a very early panic pivot.

This isn't a mystery, though. That's what makes it so weird and baffling.
