(Sakamoto Days) Man, it sure is fun watching Sakamoto just dunk on a dude, it’s basically a gag manga half the time when he goes all in.

Ayashimon got me with that fake out opening because something like that has the earmarks of a soon to be canceled series but thankfully it was just the attack doing it. For this week's Super Smartphone I don't know about this development with Q where he talked about how he didn't really care about the raid in the abstract but was only stopping it because of his friend.

ayashimon's still has that running-on-fast-forward feeling manga get when the axe is grazing their neck, but at least it's probably not that close to cancellation

that Sakamoto chapter is just a microcosm of why it's such a fun manga. Some fun sight Gags ("what are you doing?" "I'm swimming") and really inventive action backed up by clear and stylish art.

Sakamoto Days is my favorite ongoing series right now besides OP. Came here to express how loving awesome of a chapter that was. At first I was disappointed that Sakamoto was here to sub in for Shin yet again but I can't be mad at that fight at all. Legitimately some of the best action sequences I've seen in a while.

Akane-banashi: Still great! Koguma calling out Akane for not knowing the original version of Jugemu hits me where it hurts because I claim to be a fan of stuff but don't really make an effort to follow or engage with side materials/works that expand upon them. It's only a single chapter but we've seen a lot of sides to Koguma already, and I dig it. Excited to see what his rakugo is like. Ayashimon: Got pretty meta there for a sec. Elusive Samurai: Man Shokan's changed so much since we first saw him as a murdering & raping & pillaging scumbag. Obviously this doesn't change the fact that his sins will follow him wherever he goes, but I'm very invested in this battle. We're gettin' to see what the dude is capable of for real now. Mashle: The trainer slapping the poo poo out of Mash and then chalking up Mash's injuries to the training was a fun gag. Also I guess the sidelined dude is finally getting to work as a healer. I literally forgot to include Mashle in this list and felt like I was forgetting something, and had to check MangaPlus to figure out what it was. Roboco: Very romantic chapter, it's just kids being adorably and pretentiously feelin' getting in a mood and I can certainly understand the appeal of doing so. Sakamoto Days: Holy hell this was an amazing fight, brings me back to Sakamoto vs X in the subway. This manga has insane fight choreography, and Sakamoto's tendency to use any random object as a nigh-lethal weapon is both funny & cool as hell.

Sakamoto Days is a bit of a surprise because early into its run I didn't think it'd last, but it managed to find its own identity pretty successfully.

"I'm swimming") and really inventive action backed up by clear and stylish art. So much this. That "I'm swimming" cracked me up so hard. It's a wonderful cut away gag. Same as how the "weapons" used by Sakamoto reinforce the theme of his threat. It's a perfect chapter. I'd say it has 0 flaws and was the best chapter this week. Ayashimon: That fake out got me pretty hard, but it was a fine chapter otherwise. Can't wait for next week. Doron: Honestly, pretty weak. They played Kusanagi's naivety straight. Mash: Setup chapter. You know I just don't buy that brother fued, but that's also because I feel like we never see the Aymes family interacting ever. Except now.  I Am Fowl posted:Yeah, this was even funnier when I realized it was an excuse for all Our Heroes to have to hold out for Super Smartphone: Feels a little early to be here already, but it's definitely interesting. Is Q also a martial artist? Also lol at the smart phone refusing to work as an alarm clock. Undead Unluck: Talking corpses. There was something sweet here.  But god I hate Andy so much.Earthchild: Somehow the insane plan where the love of the grandparents meant the baby recognizes a rock as his mom worked? Now, why was Reisuke shocked when he went in there last time? All he saw was a chest, or did he already open it somehow? And how does this even work? The chest was filled with old memories and stuff she made when she was a kid...but how did she make them if they drugged her to fast forward her growth? (which included her mind) Or are they now bonding over stuff that Waste planted to go along with their fake 10 years of memories. Actually I choose the reality where Katagiri sat at his desk folding cranes and fake flowers to support the fake story they made. Meanwhile Katagiri again decides that he made a mistake in wiping people's memory...which is why the mind wiping hats are literally right there on the table.  At least smash them with a hammer in some fake atonement.And why did Waste's tampering create fuzzy images of her and Reisuke together? I don't get this glorious mess at all.  All they needed to do was wipe out her having special powers. They really are incompetent.Well, let's go back to space now I guess. We haven't shat on the astronaut lady in 3 weeks, we need to fix that.

Chiming in on how great the latest chapter of Sakamoto Days is. If this ever gets an anime adaptation it better get all the money, because I'll be upset if that fight ends up looking like poo poo. Also, cute chapter of Witch Watch. That look on Morihito's face was so dumb, it was perfect

Brought To You By posted:Earthchild gets to live while Ayashimon dies? Earthchild's only at chapter 13, while Ayashimon made it to chapter 24. Presumably, Earthchild's getting iced later on. It's Shugomaru and Doron that make me confused here. They sold much, much worse, and don't seem to have polled better. If either of them survives the wave, then I don't know what the hell is going on here.

Could it be that Ayashimon will end in Jump but move to Jump+? Otherwise nothing about this makes sense unless this is the author’s decision.

On top of that I think a lot was made out of the elements that were present so far, but on the other hand I don't think Ayashimon had that much room to grow and develop. It is possible to get a good amount into making a story and realize there's just not many places for it to go after all.

I didn't see this coming. I liked Maruo and it's had some real bangers of chapters. But I was never that fond of the rough art style. I guess Ayashimon died so Earthchild could live.  Doron is only 1 chapter younger than Ayashimon, I wonder how that is doing. Apparently the removal of the girl had to do with her relative unpopularity. So maybe that will buy them some time.

I don't know about polling, beyond it being at the bottom with Ayashimon and Shugimaru, but I do know that sales for volume 1 were really weak. If Doron survives, I'd be pretty surprised. Man. Jump's not in the worst shape it's been or anything. One Piece and Jujutsu are massive, Roboco's a pretty solid hit for a gag manga, and Blue Box and Sakamoto Days are hits with growth potential, especially when they get anime. But with MHA, Black Clover, and Mash on a deadline, Jujutsu leaving at an unknown point in the likely not-to-distant future, and Samurai and Undead declining in sales, it is looking messy at the moment.

To be honest, after a promising start I think Ayashimon's quality went down as it became more of a standard shonen, even to the point where the protagonist recently had the revelation that it's better to fight to help other people, so while I'm sad to see it go (great artstyle, fun ideas, cool characters), I'm also not heartbroken.

Sakamoto is really awesome...but does anyone have any idea what we're currently trying to accomplish? I think he'd trying to find that other organisation because...something?
