Shame.

It's a good manga. Would have liked to see it keep going long enough to get through three years of high school.

Don't get me wrong, considering sales it really stuck around, but having loving Ichigoki stick around while High School Family is gone is going to be painful for the next couple of months.

HSF got about 100 more chapters than I thought it would, but still really bummed about this!!!

I will say that right now the manga i catch up on full stop every release and don't leave any back chapters included HSF!! Chainsaw Man, Sakamoto Days, Akanebanashi, Jujutsu Kaisen, Dandadan, and HSF. The rest kind of fall into and out of my interest.

Welp, there goes the secret best gag manga in Jump's lineup. :smith:

It had a good run, and the author was really good at putting together a flow to the gags and a build-up to a punchline that I don't think Roboco, Ichigoki or even Witch Watch ever got close to.

Undead: Still going strong. I love getting more info on under and its members. Weird that Creed was on the opposing side. Didn’t expect that.

Fabricant: I…didn’t really like Ashigi’s speech. Reason being it felt a little…errr too far progressed I guess? It’s a little hard to gauge exactly where Ashigi is on his feelings regarding 100. He keeps saying he thinks x, but we keep seeing y. I feel like we could use a little extra insight into him like we had at the end.
But other than that a fine chapter. I wonder what they’re planning.

Fabricant 100: It feels like we’re supposed to see the leader of Mortsafe as ruthless for letting Roxy die, but…in the first place, this was really more bad luck than the results of a decision (if, e.g., Asibi hadn’t been scratched, 100 would have taken out the Fabricant without Roxy dying), and in the second place, what would they have done if Roxy survived, just let her go even though she murdered a bunch of people? I guess we don’t know much about this setting’s criminal justice system and the relationship between Mortsafe and the official authorities; could they have handed her over to the police, and if so, would she have been executed?

It is a manga about codes and cyphers that regularly uses quirks of Japanese language and writing. I wouldn't be surprised if they ultimately drop the English translation if it becomes too difficult for a series with a limited appeal.

It's a good manga, though! It's interesting to have a series where it's genuinely unclear which characters are trustworthy, and where the main character is a well-meaning guy in over his head rather than being particularly innately special.

Yeah, I like it too, but my eyes just glaze over any info dumps the series has because of how dense they are.

Honestly I think the issue is probably the weekly release schedule, that's probably hell on any translator who has a bunch of other series to work on at the same time. Might be better just to release it in volumes and give translators time to work on it.

Possibly, yeah. Also gives the mangaka some room to revisit that world in the future if SJ or another publisher is willing.

Witch Watch: wow, a Halloween chapter in February

Ichigoki's Under Control: time skip already, series isn't long for the world

Jiangshi X: Please, if there's anything remotely interesting planned, I am begging the mangaka to start it now. Even a series like Ichigoki is at least trying

Since Witch Watch is now at the end of October I assume that the big warlock fight is hitting in chapter 100. Also with all the stuff about the Warlock switch being discussed I wonder if we're going to see Nico bringing someone back (shown with the gem switching from black to white.)

Seems it's not getting western-canceled, a different translator is picking it up instead.

At least I was able to confirm that the weird ghost thing shows up in chapter 1 as well. Presumably, we'd get a bit more of it if we'd been able to get a full third year for the manga.

Ah, well. It was a good run.

Medaka was just a lot of text, this is text that relies on specific and esoteric rules.
That panel, for example, has the rule that the speaker can only use half of the syllabary (the more difficult half, in fact). So to translate faithfully you'd need to rewrite it so every line a) maintains meaning and b) does not use, say, A, E, T, N, S or somesuch.

I assume the exact rules of the wordplay don't matter too much, so just sub in something else equally contrived.
