I have no words, chainsawman is amazing.

I don't believe she's dead though, on the other hand. This Manga plays very loose with the rules.

It was so adorable watching Denji struggle with the vomit kiss.

Samurai 8 is kinda charming but even with the clear level of detail in the art there's something about it that makes it really loving hard to visually parse half the time.

I was surprised Kishimoto isn't actually the artist since it seems so reminiscent of later Naruto.

I actually like samurai 8's weird bone/flesh/bio looking tech.
In fact I think its one of Kishimoto's strongest and most unique trademark design aesthetic and was woefully underused in Naruto.

About 4 pages from the end of the chapter I thought "I think somebody basically needs to die in this manga, just with how the setting is."

I wasn't entirely prepared to be proven right in that way that quickly. I actually kinda doubt Makima is dead, they did talk her up a bit in a couple of chapters, but this is an interesting twist.

murdoch had a very punch able face and I'm glad Henry followed through. The hanker chief was a nice touch, can't let the filth linger

I gotta wonder if the company had a moment of conflict over whether or not to follow through with this for of marketing. It's a neat idea but then you think back to the other time people in pajamas were branded with numbers and yeah...

So many image able moments in this one.

We can all see where this story is heading with this dysfunctional family, but it's still equal parts awesome and touching. You don't want to be a mosquito near Twilight.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
This seems to be a common misunderstanding, but the characters we've seen are "housemasters" not "headmasters." It's written like that in English in the raws. I checked Japanese wikipedia for Harry Potter, and they refer to them in the exact same way as like, "Professor Snape is housemaster of Slytherin House." The whole thing has an extremely British boarding school vibe to it.

I wonder if there's some kind of test to determine your house or maybe like a secret "draft" by the housemasters where they bicker and trade students around to try and get the best ones.

Or just a loving hat hooked up to a computer or some poo poo I dunno.

Official Jump update is out as normal on Viz's site and MangaPlus.

New Jump Start, a Shougi manga which is almost 100% going to be axed immediately because we've had 3 failed Shougi manga in the last like 2 years. I dunno what editor likes Shougi but boardgames are cursed in Jump because of Hikaru no Go in the same way that Soccer manga are cursed in Jump because of Captain Tsubasa. There is also no reason to do a baseball manga while Diamond No Ace is running. Go pay for some cybernetic implants for Teppu's mangaka and have them resurrect the series if you need a new sports manga.

Well it's sometimes just as simple as asking the kid what their favourite colour is during the admissions process, which is how I got mine.

Though sometimes they don't ask and the school decides on the house themselves, I guess to get even numbers across the board since the house thing only really matters for sports teams and such

That's my lack of English nuance. Thanks for highlighting the difference.

It doesn't help that shougi, to my understanding, is nowhere near as simple as, say, Go to pick up and understand / relate to outside of Japan.
Hell, I wonder how understandable / relatable it is to your average japanese WSJ reader.

That point in "Even a monkey can draw manga" about how no one knows the rules to games was a joke, not a point of advice.

Eli still being alive was a massive disappointment.

But I did enjoy the rest of the chapter. The whole Cusack and Chandler bit was great. Seeing Zeldoris again was great.
seeing demon king again not great

And the surprising revelation that the supreme deity is apparently very dead. Very mixed chapter for me.

They don't say it, but they imply it with their reasoning.
They say: "the reincarnation curse is coming back so that means that the demon king is still alive."
By that logic, the Goddess is dead otherwise Meliodas' curse would also resurface.
