It's one of my most anticipated chaptet each week. The world is really cool. The fight are really imaginative. But yeah the first chapters are rough and almost retconned at this point.
When Undead Unluck gets an anime, I really hope they retcon the first arc so it matches the rest of the series. Half of it feels basically non-canon at this point, anyway.
Have the bad guys in chapter 1 be from Under, rework the circumstances leading to Andy and Fuuko joining the Union, take out all the gross shit. It would make it 100X easier to recommend if they did that.

Additionally, I have made changes to the rules in the OP, namely calling attention to the fact that there are rules in big red text and revising the spoiler section to reflect the decision we've come to regarding simulpub series. If anyone has any issues, let me know and we can talk through what would better represent our stance as a community.
I appreciate everyone's patience and contributions on the spoiler discussion. It's not an easy thing to navigate, and I hope this is a resolution that people can live with.

On one hand, more Obata is very welcome.
On the other, a manga about stand-up... that is going to be a pain to translate.
So I want to thank FlowersisBritish for introducing me to Boy's Abyss, it's an amazing manga you should all read if you haven't yet.
come on viz, theres many other jump square manga we want :( :( :(
Are there? The only big name one they don't have is Ruroni Kenshin, and they clearly have the rights to it and are intentionally not working in it.
I would have liked the ones that got animated recently.
Kono Oto Tomare! Sounds of Life
Kemono Jihen
they could also resume Prince of Tennis/Prince of Tennis II
now that funi is going all in on the anime.
New Yuji Kaku series? Let's go! I'm exhausted seeing new Jump manga getting axed left and right so i hope this one is successful.
EDIT: Also hoping the best for Golem Hearts mangaka. Their previous work got axed in the same magazine so seeing it happen again would hurt a lot.

This was the first time I decided to try reading a newly starting series, mostly because it was by Horikoshi's assistant, so it's a shame that it turned out like this.
I guess it would be easier to just wait until a series has proven itself and won't get axed, but by that point, I won't be able to read all the chapters on Mangaplus.
No surprise that Red Hood is Dead Hood.
Did not expect a dying series to get so much fan art though. People really really liked Grimm..'s design.
At the very least, Kawaguchi can always think of something new and try again.

Anyone reading Solo Leveling?
Clearly the story didn't reinvent the wheel, being a classic kid/YA power fantasy mixed with videogame ideas, but I am enjoying the art and the complete lack of fanservice a lot.
The story is also going on at a good pace, keeping things very entertaining.

That's why I usually don't bother to get into new series unless they have almost 100 chapters or so
Been breaking that rule as of late though admittedly, and the only series it's truly panned out for is Spy X Family and Dandadan. (and Elusive Samurai to a lesser extent)
reminds me of how Rookie Policewoman Kiruko got massive fanart...enough so that she got a sequel after the initial cancellation from jump.
Just want to say love you all, my first post in this version of the manga thread.
I created the first "Shounen/Manga general" thread on the other site before Reset and after 20+ OTs, I'm proud of how it's evolved.
Long live my favorite medium!

It's not very original and it's quite the wish fulfillment stuff. But it still manages to work, don't know why. Art also helps immensely, there are some goddamn impressive pages.
This always felt like a common courtesy to me even years back. When I read something in Japanese that hasn't been translated, I spoiler tag it if there's anything spoilery I want to say. Obviously if I'm just like "This manga is pretty cool, and here's some art of it with no spoilers," then I'm not worried about it. Talking about a big series that tons of people read in English early, like One Piece, seems like a situation where you should definitely tag spoilers.
It takes a couple seconds, so people should just spoiler tag stuff that uh spoils stuff before most people can read it, especially if it's breaking street date in Japan and the only possible way you're reading it is illegally unless you work in the editorial department at Shueisha, which I'm pretty certain none of you do!
Not necessarily, and in this case we know it's now happening due to manga+ ids. Jump has had a slot open that they've been filling with the golden cup entries, I believe the 3rd new series will take that "slot" in the magazine.
Jump + views have been a perfect indicator for that for a while now. Only exceptions being gag manga (which are seemingly not held by the same standards). So it seems possible to know if a manga will stick around or not before any chapter is removed from m+.
Red Hood and Neru are the new examples of that. We'll see later if PPPPPP is too (since its views are also too low for it to survive).

PPPPPP hasn't even ranked on the TOC yet, and it's already dead lol
In my heart, it's Roboco getting the boot, though
This is actually it's first week being ranked, but premier chapters generally rank well before sliding into the pit of despair.
Read the web novel and some of the manhwa. I enjoyed the first arcs but it really fell off in the second half. Lost sight of what made it good. Not to mention the racism later on (heard the manhwa fixed this but I haven't read that far).
Hunter x Hunter's slot has been available for 3 years now, no need to cancel a third series
Having read just last week the 173 or so chapters available online (and just bought the two volumes published for my 12yr old, he loves it)... Nothing really jumped to me as racist, so maybe it was changed?
I know making an early vilain Japanese was seen as controversial, but (in the version I read) there was nothing specificly tied to being Japanese ergo bad there. It was just one bad guy with a devious plan.
I think what works so well here is the quality of the art (for monsters/ characters, the environments and vehicles can be quite slap/ dash. But of course this is a weekly color webcomic) and the color useage.
The sense of movement and the cg effects are also very strong.
Also, it's rather refreshing that the hero's actions make sense in context, and that the whole videogamification reason (levels, skills, menu, etc) given recently also makes a lot of sense - again in context.
Big points from me for not sexualizing the women too, though the few portrayed are very much in the background so far.
Oooh, yeah, Hell's Paradise was excellent. Eager to see what's next from them.
I was referring to a later arc. I think it's covered by 173, but I don't remember.
I was referring to the Chimera Ant arc. Basically the MC lets Japan get destroyed for no good reason. The prime minister asks the MC for help when the ants attack and the MC refuses help, instead choosing to let all of Japan get destroyed and overrun. Afterwards, he defeats the ants.
I think the ending kinds of falls flat because the twists and reveals are telegraphed way too easily. I figured out the biggest reveal early on. I really enjoyed the first arc (the dungeon where he gains his powers) because it was so unique but the later dungeons go away from that and turn to generic dungeons. Then it becomes a JRPG and you have to defeat god (not literally). The ending was what mainly soured me on the whole thing.
