Those uninspiring school mysteries get a score of 2. If I was there I'd spice them up a little.
Shoujo Kessen Orgia1
Seinen series starring a cute girl with cute powers fighting in a cute survival game to save her cute waifu. Features fluffy skinship with friends and violent skinship with weapons, the latter of which makes a pleasing contrast with the art style. Reminds me of Mugen no Minamo ni, so followed.

One Piece
I'm so hype!
* One Piece rescue arcs currently have a 100% success ratio. ESPECIALLY when rescuing a guy.
* More alliances! The day Luffy picks up the phone is going to be amazing.
* NAMI HAS A NEW WEAPON! She has to get a fight in the next arc, right? RIGHT?
I CAN'T STOP SHAKING

Ugh, so much to catch up on. I need a day to read all the shit I've missed.
That being said, Escanor is like...the only reason to read Seven Deadly Sins anymore.
Escanor is just...the best. This chapter was fucking stupid awesome.

I am Hero - Vol 15-16
Warning: BIG SPOILERS
So overall I've been loving the series, which is why I have to bring a couple of scenes that really took me out of it.
The onsen scene was rather badly executed. I can accept the premise of "We're screwed, we're going to die, so we might as well walk inside the onsen", but the lack of any self-awareness of the characters and how casually they act towards it really took me off the scene.
Hiromi I can understand, she has been "ok" with the situation from the start, but I expected Oda to display some level of humanity by acknowledging (accepting or not) her incoming death.
Which leads me to the next scene that I dislike, Oda death.
Having her being bitten by a random zombie baby and the way that she hold it (so she could kill him/her alongside herself) was too hamfisted for my taste considering the pregnancy plotline.
I was a bit surprised at how easily Hiromi killed her, and her dislike for Oda felt quite unjustified, but in retrospective it's easy to see how much of a petty person Hiromi actually is. That was the part of the scene that won me over after it happened.
The "alien" plot is an interesting idea, I'm a bit divided on this, as honestly I wouldn't mind a complete focus on characters drama (which Kengo Hanazawa does so well) and completely disregarding any explanation for the zombie outbreak, as that was really never the main focus of the story, it was always about the characters.
On another hand I do think it's an interesting idea, and I'm curious to see where exactly the author is planning to take the story, though it does create a more concrete win/lose for the end of the manga, which is something I'm not entirely sure I like.
For now I'm keeping my thoughts on this storyline open, I need to see where the story goes before having a proper opinion on this plotline.
I did love the zombies perspective in the last chapter of Vol.16, whenever the series revisits the theme of Zombies being people, it always does it very well executed.

I am Hero 192
I was wondering what had happened to him.
This confirms that Tekko didn't get infected via this guy at least.
It's interesting that even in a big town like Tokyo they seem relatively safe now that they understand how the ZQN work.
At first glance this seems the most "humane" group or survivors we've encountered so far, I'm curious to see if such gets confirmed in the upcoming chapters.

Tomo 300
I wonder what Tomo-mom did to warrant such a comment
Gintama
At least Umibouzo depleted Shoyo's Atlanta significantly
so now the others have a chance before he runs away.... Also I love how that other Yato guy is defending Umibouzo (who is basically RIP) from Kamui

Her husband is afraid of getting near her yet they have a child...
Just you wait until Tomo takes the same attitude with Jun.

Chapter was all about boobs. Between the ultrasound properties of slapped together boobs and the acupuncture properties of nipples, boobs seems to be dominating this end match. Hopefully after that boob-infusion of fighting spirit, Nozomi will bring back some butt power in the match, get Maya's personality back and then beat her ass fair and square.

Protagonist gets a supermode. This has now utilized every common trope of shounen battle series. Yay!

Just got done reading all of it in one afternoon. How have I missed this all my life?

It's a cruel and harsh world indeed.
Fight on, Bocchi ( ; _
7Honestly I don't see anything that would lead to this in chapter 300. Especially after Misumom tells Tomo to not become like her mother.
I mean, not everything related to girl-girl relationship should be treated as yuri right?
(Not specifically directed to you Lele, but manga-anime fandom in general where this attitude towards girl-girl relationship seems to be more prevalent in recent years)

I find this apply to both female-female and male-male.
Around here I assume (hope) people are just having some fun with their interpretation rather than being serious about it (outside of more obvious or serious works), but people in general just enjoy to indulge into fantasies.

Wash away the competition, leave only Kirie. Ken is the best; he obviously figured out pretty quick the best way this needs to go.

It's Difficult to Love an Otaku 6
How can you say you really love a girl if you won't even do BL cosplay with her??
Kenka Banchou Otome - Koi no Battle Royal 0-1
The manga adaption of that one otome game where you have to brawl with the guys in order to get them to date you. It's a pretty hilarious concept on its own, and the protagonist seems to have more agency than you'd expect from otome game, although I'm not sure if that's a result of actual writing or the manga adaption (I'm assuming it's from the actual game though, as it's sort of in the same series as the other Kenka Banchou games). It turns out the game isn't actually out in Japan yet, but judging from this I'd be pretty interested if it magically made its way towards Western shores.

Hey i said it was a wild guess!
Also i said that because that was a rather warm reaction considering that both her look and her daughter would suggest she might be the cold and detached archetype (even if i have my doubts on that).

Nisekoi 213
That's not the dead body I was promised
Also, now that he has read the journal, there is nothing left except for them to meet one last time and give farewells
Kinda liked that the chapter ends with Onadera tacitly asking Raku to skip school and have sex though
It's Onodera's dead body
The SS Onodera is on the bottom of the ocean at this point
