What may happen is that a bunch of series are going to go on break in a row, so they can use the second series to get to 20 and go a few weeks before cancelling something else.
Yeah, it's a long-running, extremely good series. Think it already has an anime, too. Very weird it took this long.
Confirmed that it's both authors for the rakugo series.

I need to know more about those bodyguards and how Shirogane knows them (I guess his part time jobs?)

They mentioned it was a job from the "Boss' girl" so it was probably a request from Momo, one of the impossible girls who's the daughter of a Yakuza boss. Her and Shirogane were both members of the student council during their first year.

Osamu with the clutch management answer for extra credit. But yeah, the homework arc escalates with the appearance of the dreaded scoring rubric. Though I think having the cliffhanger be on the score reveal again is a bit much. I don't really see Osamu's team doing badly even with their early losing streak due to analyzing the situation and making changes that improved their overall performance.

Y'know, I'm glad Ruby is finally getting some focus, but uh, it's bugging me that Aqua's being this stupid. The twins would have been like one year old when Himekawa's parents died, Aqua obviously has the wrong guy.
Kinda lame that neglecting to do simple math is the one thing putting Aqua's agenda on hold. I guess that's what's needed so Ruby can get her arc before Aqua figures it out

Yeah, the math doesn't add up, but Aqua is probably in a state of shock and that why he hasn't figured that out yet. I just hope it's not a case of the author messing up the math on accident.
Kaguya - 252
Plot Twist, Kaguya is Ruby and Aqua big sis.
From What Quack Doctor said, High Chance that Kaguya isn't Gan'an daughter.
I do not think Gan'an will suddenly make Un'yo become the next Heir.
because that would cause blood war within the family.

So it seems like WSJ is letting Gege, the JJK author, take weekly breaks on a monthly, or there abouts. Between holidays and break weeks we get batches of about 3 to 5 chapters. Possibly not a long term thing but hopefully it continues so Gege doesn't have to work into an early grave like so many mangaka.
I hate isekai, but this issue could be in any fantasy series.

Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill. The series is fun except the dude just married a child.

New series up on Manga Plus today. Solid start, the food stuff is fun and it has some really striking two page spreads that remind me of Dandadan. This is going on my reading list. Looks like it's at chapter 15 in Japan and they put up two chapters today, presumably they're planning to catch up and publish simultaneously at some point.

Ye gods and little fishes. Every time.
Caught up on Iruma. The series just continues to soar higher and higher. It's probably the only series where I look forward to "exam" arcs since they're usually full of creativity and this one is no exception.
Really loving this arc. We finally get the chance to see the teachers show their stuff and a bunch of new and awesome characters as well. Their reasoning is pretty hilarious and petty but it really fits with their society. Nishi's art continues to get better and better too. Excited to see Azz Azz whip out those seduction abilities.

Yeah that was fun, the new corporate magical girl series they brought over was fun too
For thousands of years, I laid dormant. Now, at a time most perilous, I have returned with three new Webtoons series mini-reviews/recommendations! Rejoice, my dear, devout followers, for I will show you the way.
- Maid for Hire: At school, Andrea is the popular girl everyone admires. But that's all just an image and she has a big secret: she works as a maid in a mansion owned by her nemesis, Alex. A mischievous playboy, Alex has it all — or at least that's what his classmates think. That's just an image, too, and at home Alex hides a big secret: he's unhappy and has few true friends. Will a certain hot-headed maid come to the rescue of this dude in distress?
- Of What Remains: Abandoned at every turn, Kim escapes a violent boyfriend and returns to her rural hometown. But secrets fester from her childhood and worsening politics cast long shadows over the countryside. As tensions boil between families and countries on the edge of cataclysm, what will Kim endure to survive?
- From a Knight to a Lady: Estelle meets her untimely death as a valiant knight of the Kingdom of Ersha. But death is not the end for Estelle -- three years after her demise, she finds herself reincarnated in the body of Lucifela Aydin, the spoiled and cold-hearted daughter of a count in the Empire of Jansgar. To her dismay, she finds that her country fell to Jansgar years ago, and that she is now betrothed to Zedekiah Heint, the son of a duke and her adversary in her previous life. Can Estelle discover the truth behind her death while attempting to navigate her new life as Lucifela?
While I can't say that Maid for Hire was the best new Webtoons series I read this week, that doesn't mean it isn't well worth your time. Far from it. That said, unlike the two other series I'm talking about today, I feel Maid for Hire might have the narrowest breadth of appeal to the general reading audience. For while it very much feels like a modern take on the well-trodden Prince-and-Pauper romance setting, at its core (so far at least), it is a story born of the same heritage as the ones who've come before it. Both for better and for worse. Now, that does not mean that I didn't thoroughly enjoy my time with it so far (far from it!), and Andrea and Alex's chaotic relationship shenanigans, as well as the surrounding cast of characters around them, have all had moments to shine - either in wholesomeness or villainy (and sometimes in what can only be described as pure insanity). If you're a fan of such works as Ouran High School Host Club, Takane to Hana or Raise wa Tanin ga Ii then this very well could one for you!
Talking about Of What Remains is difficult. Mainly because even twenty chapters in, I have almost literally zero ideas what the story is about or where it is going. Yet, I think that is part of the reason why I couldn't stop reading. The sense of unease and mystery coupled with the series' graphic novel -esque art, which is a blend of muted monochrome panels and an exaggerated and stylised sense of realism with which the characters are drawn, just draws you in, each aspect of the webtoon complementing the other to add to the disquiet that drips from it. Honestly, if you're going to read one of the three series I am recommending today, Of What Remains is the one I wholeheartedly recommend you check out.
To me, the most interesting part of From a Knight to a Lady is Estelle herself. In a lot of these reincarnation/reborn in other body stories, the lead character often either stay very much as themselves from their past life or almost instantly adapts to their new identity. This isn't the case for Estelle/Lucifela. This life-altering change isn't handwaved, and she very much struggles and is wrapped in turmoil (at least so far) over this scenario, and the dysphoria that comes with it all. She's constantly ping-ponging between different emotions and emotional states. In short, she's a mess. And the main draw of the series' first twenty or so chapters has been seeing how she attempt to navigate all this with constant struggles and failures. And if that doesn't do it for you, there's always the rather cute and often disorganised budding relationship between Estelle/Lucifela and her fiancee.

Nooooo not a BLue Exorcist delay...still it's just another month of six, get rested.
Owari no Serafu getting to a climax makes me emotional.

Magu-chan Final Chapter
I'm not crying! You are!
So ends the tale of a cheerful girl and her Eldritch God companion.
I do know that there will be an epilogue in Jump GIGA later on. I imagine Viz will release that when it arrives.
Undead Unluck
"Take out the concept of seasons" *does so* "Ha ha, you doomed the world anyway!"
Apocalypse is as dick. It also looks like Unruin has his own version of Clothy.
Now what?

A total John Wick move. Awesome.
The amount of violence is kind of reminding me of Hunter x Hunter.

That was hilarious. Laughing every time I turned the page.

Magu Final Chapter
Well fuck... I didn't expect the ending would hit me this hard. I love Magu, but I can see that there's some decline in the writing of some chapters. It's always best to give it a proper ending while the manga is still great. I'm gonna really miss the manga.
No anime makes it extra sad :(

Jump day time, we have the rare full roster but we are also losing Magu to the notorious axe-murderer (aka Shueisha's editorial team)
Magu - End
God damn man... Add this to the tiny list of manga with good endings, but it still hurts to lose this series. I hope the mangaka's next work has more success and I am definitely look forward to it.
Uron Mirage - 119 (Witch watch - 48)
This is definitely calling out Demon Slayer and I say that as a fan.
Somehow this is funnier and more interesting than regular Witch Watch... Then again it's a one-off chapter, I have no idea if this style of humour would not get old quick.

I wasn't lying when I said I like this manga more when it's just a big 'ol shitpost, legitimately rolling at how absurd this is and not necessarily for the intended reasons.
6*P - 19
I kinda like that the manga uses the note names I am more used to (Donato, Reijiro, Mimin, Fanta, So(l)rachika, L(a)ucky, Sikato) for the Otogami siblings, it is weird that they were not named according to the order they were born though.
Also, I'm sorry, is this series heading towards some dark twist?! what was with that ending?
Yozakura - 116
I hope Mister Golden Alloy isn't like Darkshine from one punch man... Other than that, cute chapter, it's nice to see some of the lesser explored interactions.
