Shojo null is infinitely hilarious with its acahm (all cops are horrible monsters) approach to things.

I am absolutely here for "Nihilistic Double-Monster-Cops getting their deserved reward from Robo-Lucy-From-Elfin-Lied."

It was shaky for its first volume but with the focus on the Monster-Cops and has righted the ship quite nicely.

Yeah, it works a lot better as dark comedy than as Serious Science Fiction.

With the occasional moment of "Yes, the world is monstrous but we are better than submitting to that and becoming monsters ourselves." based pathos.

Shojo Null continues to have zero chill and I am on board.

What was the worst manga that ever got published in Jump?

It's called "U-19 Hell" for a reason.

I do not have a lot of memory reserved to unthrills but I vaguely remember there was a fair bit of hand-wringing about the matter.

I'll say this much, if Shojo Null pulls off what I think it's trying to then it'll certainly be quite the thing.

I missed U19 what was the big deal with it that made it so infamous?

It was shite.

More specifically it was a stand battle clone where the setting was "what if the alt(?) right were nazis and were trying to breed kids into making Japan great again."

Also- and appologies if I am misremembering- its first arc villain, an abusive gym teacher, was defeated by framed for a sexual assult on a male student.

I don't remember if it was much better but the guy's previous work about super-powered banchos was, failing good, fun.

Seven Deadly Sins was a bad series with a handful of extremely great moments sprinkled throughout. I still go back to that first Escanor fight sometimes.

Admitively I think the whole thing kinda peaked with that whole business with Meleodis and Ban unwittingly destroying a suppositively inpenatble force field via the power of friendship (as protrayed by them acting like a couple of super saiyan Fraternity-Bros).
