I've caught up and I'm sort of enjoying it.
The Friendship thing is played for laughs and it's pretty funny with an interesting world. Guess I'll stick around and see where it goes.
At least for me it's fresh as I never read Fairy Tale.

But why does virtually every expression Shiki makes make him look like a thug.

I was expecting some dream sequence with dragon kicks and chain yankers. This is an acceptable substitute.
also I should probably read this from the beginning because I have no idea who anyone is

We Never Learn is fantastic and it deserves your time.

Tsuitsui-sensei knows exactly what he's doing, but I appreciate him for it. When the scenario's a cliche he puts a twist on it or just tunes it to the max. And when it's more original, it's either super funny or really heartwarming.

I won't begrudge anyone who's uncomfortable with fanservice if they don't care for it, but it's rapidly become one of my weekly favorites.

I don't mind fanservice as long as everyone involved is having fun.
This is a good example. The girls are there to get a massage and the fanservice comes from that. Also Nariyuki isn't a huge pervert about it.

This chapter was gold. Everything was exactly as you'd think, but somehow still funny. Probably because he was aware at how unlikely this all was.
I'll be very disappointed if Kominami doesn't refer to this incident later to torment Nariyuki.

All hail the God hand God

"Next chapter, what will happen to Nariyuki, who encounters sensei in an unexpected place?" is basically the tagline for this manga.

It's really true. I wonder if Tsuitsui knew the whole time how much screen time she was going to get or if her increased presence is a reaction to her popularity or his own growing affection for her. I'd believe any of it.

It's fine and, for the most part, it's been consistent with the chuckle-worthy feels. Also, does anyone know if Tsuitsui worked as assistant to Komi during Nisekoi or something? The art feels distinctly similar.

Thank you! I saw a volume of this at a used book store recently and picked it up instinctively because I really liked the art on the cover but then I realized it was a Nisekoi spinoff so I was confused as to why it stuck out to me. I don't mind Komi's artwork but that explains why it looked so appealing to me haha.

67 is really cute too!

But yeah, WNL does just fine without the incest archtype character in the harem so I'm hoping the sister remains in the background rather than getting Sensei'd into a major role. She has a cute design but she's one note and it's a bad note.

EDIT: That said she does have her moments, this is really cute: https://jaiminisbox.com/reader/read/we-can-t-study/en/0/60/5/page/5

We have three chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen today.
Salaryman survives to clock in for another shift. His overtime ability does remind me a bit of how nen powers work in HxH which was cool, getting more powerful if you've been on the job too long is a nice ability.

Then we get pure suffering with Junpei because he finally met someone to share in his love for obscure movies only for his mom to get Nom'd and now he's going down a very dangerous road

One thing I don't necessarily like about this series is that it feels almost like chapters or pages are missing sometimes. Had to go back and re-read parts of this arc and it's like a record skipping in the middle of a track.

Compared to the last few arcs of Fairy Tail, that was insanely tame. I was fully prepared for sensitivity increasing or clothes melting mucus and was rolling my eyes in advance, but thankfully it's still early in the series so it didn't last. And Space Lucy even saved herself! That's impressive honestly.

That next chapter title though! Roll Credits.

To be fair it's way less gross than Fairy Tail overall because at least it winks at itself. She doesn't get stripped naked, she saves herself, then she dunks on the scientist guy for the gag he tried. Given the last 3rd of Fairy Tail it's absolutely tame.

I mean, overall yeah this is all derivative poo poo but still.

I'm not the biggest fan of Kirisu. However, she works really well in chapters that also feature Kominami. Having her around to stir up poo poo is great and it elevates the chapters to something more than "Yuiga runs into Sensei at X and awkwardness ensues"

I agree. I also like the combination of Sensei and Swimmer girl because she treats her a like a normal teacher.
Sensei on her own doesn't really work well for me. It doesn't help that the Mangaka seems to write her more and more inept at everything that isn't teaching.

I read probably the first...I dunno, 40-some chapters of We Never Learn in SJA, and I had to drop it, just like with Nisekoi. I have so little tolerance for harem stuff these days. It was fine when it was just those first two girls, but then the teacher gets involved, then the athletic girl, and probably another one or two added since I've been swiping through it.

Food Wars is a bit entertaining, but now that the 'The short-sighted gourmet who wanted everyone to factory-produce his gourmet recipes' arc is over, the 'super-dangerous criminal ultra-gourmet' arc to up the stakes is foreshadowing what the rest of the series' run is going to be like, and in 4 years when the Criminal Ultra-Gourmet arc is over, we'll progress to the the Space Alien/Afterlife Society/Demon World Gourmet arc, where I guess it'll become Toriko.

Teenage Renaissance! David is just stupid and I hope it never returns, anywhere, after its Jump Start run. I'm From Japan was pretty dumb, too. A couple of the more recent Jump Starts I've liked, like Alice & Taiyo. Even the shogi and alien ones were better.
