Promised Neverland 35
Oh shit, I was not expecting Emma to actually do that. I mean, it makes total sense but...you get prepared for shit in shonen manga to be all "NO WE DO IT DIS WAY OR NOT AT ALL" and then they do it but she really is revealing herself more and more lately to not just be a gungho one note endless optimist. Good shit.
Also I am not even REMOTELY surprised by Phil's reaction in this chapter.
Emma:
Phil: Yeah, that seems about right.
Everyone: ?!?!?!
Phil: It's cool, just
IT'S YA FUCKING BOI PHIL
Kaguya 60
YOU GOT PLAYED, KAGUYA
Now just to drop that Shameless Woman and have the perfect Student Council.

Dude, I love Kuro. The main party should get their own talking doggo member too.

Phil accepted the situation rather quickly. A little too quickly, actually. I see through this kid, y'all.

ran and the gray world, molester man, nozaki-kun, & the few vols i read of ore monogatari were all pretty great "romcoms"
Oh man, I really liked Ran and the gray world. I felt so empty when it finished :')
The manga's been hyping up Phil for forever now in the little details. I said before how I think they're setting up Phil to be a Norman-level kid or better after a timeskip, I wouldn't be surprised if eventually he manages to escape with the rest of the kids without Emma's help.The Promised Neverland ch. 35

It's down now but this was on viz yesterday confirming what gold crusader speculated yesterday
No Hungry Marie then? That's disappointing... unless it's coming after the Jump break.

If I had to speculate the editor for rxl was also the editor for hm so if both were close enough in terms of fan reaction she might have pushed rxl over hm to be the 3rd series picked up. Perhaps viz also feels wary about skipping on a sports manga with some buzz after how well kuroko and haikyu have done.
To add, Hungry Marie kind of crosses over in terms of premise and appeal with other titles in the magazine (being action and romance oriented), so they probably decided to got for titles that are "unique" in English Jump (We Never Learn as romcom, RxL as sports, Dr. Stone as adventure/action) rather than Hungry Marie (romcom/action?).
All in all, it's not really a bad selection. Last time they picked up every Jump Start and that ended up being a dud for them, and I think they picked up almost all the best series from this batch (I personally think Hungry Marie > RxL). And who knows, maybe the votes in the survey did push for those 3 to be added.

The only positive is wnl cratering in the Japanese jump toc means my original prediction of "jump will pick up wnl and then it'll get canceled while they'll skip something that becomes a big hit and they'll truly be a great example of wnl" is still on track

The 3 series they added are at least varied in term of genres, so they are probably good choices for reaching a larger audience. Now if only Robo wasn't a glasses wearing MC.
Hopefully for them these dont get axed though. Like people said they have been pretty bad with JUMP starts and TPN was more of an obvious/lucky shot.

Maybe the answer to getting a hit in ESJ was making a romcom in setting of a manga localisation company.
What about World Trigg--- oh.
I actually forgot that Black Clover got picked as a Jump Start too. I think that might have been their only successful pick up, outside of late additions like Food Wars and My Hero.
Is there something wrong with his glasses lol?
As for the axing, that really has little to do with them. I mean, last time they picked up everything and the result was that everything sans PN got cut. It's just that WSJ is that combative/cut throat.
They probably need to just pick stuff up from other magazines, but even then they don't seem to get it either *looks over at RWBY*
Dungeon Meshi 32-33
I know there's worldbuilding and all, but
Man if Laius saw that sea serpent getting tossed aside after everything he would cry rivers
The main solution to solving all these weird problems with Guy Who Spends Too Much Time Thinking is just to feed his group. That girl holding the sea serpent's head had the right idea.
Although maybe don't use the head in cooking

I still remember the early days of Viz Jump, two series started around the same time.
Assassination Classroom and Takamagahara. Viz picked up the latter and ignored AssClass.
Takamagahara bombed immensely. Assassination Classroom was a big hit with an OVA, followed by two seasons of anime, and two movies. Viz was way too weary because "guns in the classroom" (understandable, but after a while it became silly).
Viz also took like six months to pick up My Hero Academia, and were way too weary on Soma because of how lewd it is. Kids aren't reading your magazine Viz!

I'll be disappointed if Hungry Marie doesn't make it, as thats my favorite of the new series.

I feel like once a series reaches a good amount of success in Japan Viz should always pick it up and work on blazing through the back log in the magazine OR put old chapters up for free while releasing the newest chapters same day with Japan. Gotta be cheaper long term then taking a risk on stuff like red sprite/love rush that gets instantly shit canned.

Rokudou 17
Hrmmmmm. I think she's being affected by his spell because even though her ideal is to be an officer she is literally masquerading as one and running delinquents off the road. That's pretty..."bad" of her. I'm not all that into her at this moment but we'll see how this arc plays out. Rokudou's opposition to getting a license bordered on childish and was really annoying so this arc didn't start out so great.

Well okay. This manga really just does whatever the fuck it wants, ignoring whatever happened in previous arcs, doesn't it? 2 more to the harem pile.

Turned into a Breast Milk Fountain by a Beautiful Vampire (END)
This was an absolutely flawless conclusion, except for the fact that it means closing the book on the greatest yuri love story since... uh, probably the last Maitake doujin I read. Ashton's
journey along the bloodstained path of true love was inspired, lewd, compelling and lewd. I found the format refreshing and would be open to reading more stories in this style, though admittedly art quality is important to me so the subject matter would have to be similarly fascinating to hold my attention.
Holy shit. I knew about Ashton's evolution, but that was a level of cold-blooded savagery beyond anything I could've hoped for. The total absence of remorse over Douglas's death was one thing, but killing his son without batting an eyelid was more delicious than the resulting breast milk. The addendum in the comments about throwing away the ring is just the icing on the icing.

Cool chapter. Phil has allways been shown on the side to be a bit special. Makes sense that he will turn into the leader of the kids that are left behind.
Also, seems like the demons have their own death squad, I wonder how they will deal with them.
A bit of a nitpick but I wish everyone in this manga was like 5 years older.
I know it's a story about demons harvesting kids and some will roll their eyes if people start talking about suspension of disbelief. But I think the main trio would be more believable if they were like 17-18. Or Phil, I could totally buy his reaction of he was 9-10 but at 4 it's really getting close to ridiculous .

Ashton sure became cold-blooded. At least they're now forever united. Such a beautiful love story that consumes the norms of society.
Admittedly I've never thought about periods in vampire fiction before, so it made me laugh surprisingly hard.

He then could use all that salted
Probably wont be able to make use of it immediately, but they could cook bits of it and then preserve the rest and leave it till they go back down later on. It should be a while anyways, and it will be good preparations for their second attempt down the dungeon.
I agree with the general gist of your post (I do think that Viz knows what the age range of their readership well, but are acting like it is much younger than it is) but they had every right at the time to be weary re: picking up Assassination Classroom. The gun debate at the time would have brought on a lot of unwelcome attention, and not in the sort of ''all publicity is good publicity'' kind.
There is a knack of the folks at Viz having more misses than hits when it comes to what they chose to pick up, though I wonder why they don't seem to get any of the Japanese branch to weigh in on letting them know what to avoid/pick up.
It might be, but the way they are handling the free section, I feel like they don't actually care that much? It seems they are fine with just focusing on letting the readership catch up through the volumes rather than the free section.

I approve. This is an oddity in that it's an RPG Maker horror game with a plot that could be expressed just as effectively in a manga version, if not potentially more so. Though that's probably more because of the game's shortcomings than the content of the story itself.
