Hmmm, a bit messy to be honest, especially the 'explanation' of how the djinns came to be...Also, Arba continues to be a psycho with no redeaming features. A babbling Zealot. Also, if Solomon supposedly dragged Il Illa or whatever down to earth, how are they still wrestling over the flam in the sky?

Bright World Project end

And another series that likely got cancelled!

You know, for something that was kind of a "game of death" series with romance, having just 1 person die is pretty boring.

If his scribbles are, in a way, a metaphorical representation of an actual scene, couldn't you argue that HxH is more artful than yu yu hakusho?

Is this Japan only? I know GTO is a hit in Asia. I seen the life drama lol.

Actually, almost everything there seems to be a hit in Asia. The only few I don't know was those before my time.

In a certain manga site, one of the popular ones, I noticed there is a view count (pages viewed, not chapters). It's of course not a total amount of everyone who has read it, but a representative sample big enough to know what people like or not on Internet, the same way some times there are stats of downloaded torrents of tv series and movies.

-Seinen-
Vagabond 413K
Historie 423K
Beserk 780K
Vinland Saga 954K

-Shonen-
Hunter x Hunter 677K
Naruto 907K
Toriko 1.5M
One Piece 1.7 M
One-Punch Man 1.9M

-Smut-
Prison School 3.4M
Minamoto-kun Monogatari 40.3M (!)
To-Love Ru 548K
To-Love Ru Darkness 38M

~Special category
A Town Where You Live 36.3M

Don't kill me but I always thought Godzilla was a bit silly, even the new stuff. Eh.

Also very few manga can claim to have a meta joke about their own pacing problems, but I don't think there's a single other manga where such joke is the most recurring joke in the manga. I love it every time.

There's liquid coming out in any case.

Somehow doubt the butler dude will let this go smoothly. WTH is the curse and ultimate magic all about anyway? So confused.

Read everything on this list except TLR:D, kinda surprise Vinland bested Berserk.

I don't expect Kitazaki, Furuya, Yamamoto, Hanazawa works to appear high on smut even though I like them more.

One Piece 757 Spoiler

Awesome! Kuros continues to be bad ass by slashing Diamante and Law's handcuffs are off! Things not looking good for Diamante. Hope the horrible Sugar doesn't turn up, don't like her plot stalling ability.

Goddamn, I knew the Djinns were some sort of representation of the non-human races, but they still kinda drew the short straw since it looks like it's only the chief of each non-human race that managed to stick around until present day.

Ill Illah is a bit of a douchebag God.

Is One Punch Man only available digitally? Im in Australia and can't seem to be able to buy it from the ibook store.

Also, any recommendations for a manga podcast?

I don't think the series has released in printed format anywhere but Japan. I'm also not sure about the digital availability in Australia.
