I dunno, I enjoyed reading the 25 chapters we got of Ayashimon. Sometimes it's nice to read a thing even if it doesn't stick around. I like G&G for what it is, but also won't be surprised or upset if it goes soon.

MarriageToxin: Huh, I did not expect that the Beast User will be THAT powerful. Guess Gero will need a girlfriend-powered boost as well. The question is, who will trigger it? Hamster Girl? Kinosaki? Someone else entirely?

Is this ending? This feels a lot like a near-final chapter to me. I hope not, because I'm still digging everything except this particular big bad.

Yeah from rankings it did not do well, so I am not hopeful. Man I feel I always make bad gambles on Jump series to get invested in.

There's been almost nothing that's been safe to bet on anyway. Akane Banashi is the only thing with more than 25 chapters and fewer than 100. Seems like everything else has just been a revolving door.

e: okay so Blue Box is at 99 but you get what I mean.

I didn't hate it, and I guess the premise could get good if the figure out what they want the tone to be. It doesn't feel like a stayer regardless, though. I feel the same about Nue's Exorcist. Just kinda boring but not offensively bad.

I am enjoying the MMA one, though.

I do like MMA's angle of having him suck at every other part of fighting but grappling, but still sticking with mixed martial arts as a discipline. There's nothing I dislike so far.

Do Retry definitely isn't going to be about boxing form or learning how to actually fight. I can't tell if I like it or not.

Akane-Banashi: there's no way Akane loses right? I don't see where losing at this point puts her narratively. i'm also ridiculously antsy waiting for the results.

I'm guessing a draw between her and Hikaru, where she scores better with the judges, but slightly worse with the audience and stream. It might be hacky, I guess, but the story keeps going on about how rakugo isn't one thing, so I can see them both winning.

I read the first few chapters of Marriagetoxin and I couldn't help but wonder why, if the Grandma is so obsessed with getting an heir, why doesn't she just have one of the women in the clan act as a surrogate and get a sperm donation from the main character? I'm assuming that if everyone in the poison clan is as crazy as the Grandma, that someone would be willing to volunteer as a surrogate.

That wouldn't make for a very fun manga.

Perfect outcome in Akanebanashi, someone in here kinda called it too right?

Such a nice lil arc we just had.

I thought it'd be a tie, but I was right about the in-house vs stream rankings. Very satisfied with the outcome, genuinely my favorite thing in Jump right now.

I have to wonder if this is just another story wrinkle or is the next chapter the end of Kill Blue?

I like Kill Blue a lot, but it would also be very funny for this to be how it ended. Just "Oh, you got better on your own, we were wrong" would be an incredible way to wrap up something cancelled early.

I'm also really digging MMA so far, hope this sticks around for a while.

It's interesting to me that it's the first time he hasn't been in danger or, like, doing work, and that's when he transformed back. Maybe that'll be the whole thing, and to go back to normal he has to learn to chill. But then knowing that makes him too nervous to chill.

Honestly, at this point, I think it would be good for Fabricant to end strong as it is rather than flounder trying to be something else looking for ratings. I feel like 100 not caring about Ashibi dying in burning rubble is reflective of the author in the way as the Red Hood characters literally fighting against someone trying to end their story, just in the opposite direction.

Kill Blue: Him returning to a kid after getting serious makes me more confident in my idea of what's happening.

Akane: Time for some sillies. Looking forward to this arc.

MMA: Glad we're seeing the women's division stuff, I hope this means Nao gets to stay prominently in the story instead of getting shuffled off once Asumi gets good.

This latest thing does make it feel like Ichinose is also ending soon, but with only 3 new series and Fabricant and Tenmaku ending, I can't imagine it being the 3rd over Do Retry.

That reminds me of how a couple of years ago I was reading the US release of Initial D and originally it had a translation by Tokyopop who went hard on Westernizing names and dialogue but after a certain point they stopped doing releases and someone else eventually took over and they went for a more authentic translation so all of a sudden all the character names change.

From what I understand with that in particular, those names were taken from an Initial D arcade game, which is why everyone has, like, 3 or 4 letter names.

At least they're both better than Gill.

I think that might be the thing of it. The stuff it's replacing isn't very good, and the other thing that's sticking around isn't either, so they're both pretty okay in my book so far. I like the concepts behind both, and neither has ugly art, so I will continue to read them.

It's kinda weirdly written where I can't tell whether or not he knew her name. Because how else would he or his mom know she wasn't competing in a competition? How would he watch entire news reports about her without hearing her name? But the ending being her name makes it feel like it's news to him. I dunno.

Surely this'll just mean there'll be two different tiers to access more/less manga, and not referring to currencies, right?... Right?

Definitely doesn't look like a coin system at least, so I'm relieved regardless.
