I really wouldn't mind just seeing more powers from like everyone else at this point.

Laughter in The End of The World
This came off as a decent start to a shounen series.
Main character sure knows how to act self important, and there's the usual "humanity is actually evil" angle to it (I'm sure the demon appearing would eventually be ties to this).
A lot of time was spent in this angle (most of the chapters really), and I could see it getting old really fast, but for a short series it didn't hurt too much.
The battle sequence was weak. But the twist was rather nice. The fact that the one having dreams about demons was the MC (a human) and not his sister (demon) seems to tie up with the above.
All in all I could see this having potentially to be interesting, it would need quite a bit of work to become a long running series but the potential is there. As a short series, it had enough to keep me interested and curious about the world to keep going.

Witchcraft Works Vol.01
It's pretty fun rereading series I'm deeply in and seeing all the hints scattered around. And this series is pretty damn good at that. You can see imouto stalking their first date, there's a lot of just little clues I never caught up on the first time reading through.
I also like the notes at the end of the volume giving more detail to the characters. There's a good bunch of characters in this volume we really don't get much info on and we'll probably never will. It's a shame since a lot of them have pretty cool design.

Ushio's thing is to help Odagiri right? Then maybe this will actually be interesting.

Making a mountain out of a molehill right there and really thought there would be progress. At least a possible new character tease?

Shin Kurosawa 3
I wonder if Kurosawa will be in a coma this entire series. This is a bad situation, even for Fukumoto works.
The art is pretty and there's some good scenes. I don't know what's going on though.

My Hero Academia
This series is quite enjoyable, even though it's clearly targeted to a very young audience, atm.
As someone else pointed out, I think it lacks a long-term goal and it will have to change its mood, sooner or later. I mean, "I want to become the Pirate King" is so undefined that you can stretch the story as long as you want. "I want to become a hero" is much more within grasp, especially when you acquire the top tier "quirk" in the early chapters. Of course Midoriya has to master it first, but his training can't last that long.
For now, the series is enjoyable partly because of the new powers being show off and partly because the MC has to devise a way to win battles using a one shot finishing blow. When this novelty ends, we'll see how the author and his editors will make the series evolve (and how long they will make it last). I think this one should stay on the short side (no more than 100 chapters), with a well-thought ending.

I never thought those kind of book popular in Japan too, not just developing country where the middle class people suffers a self-crisis then turned themselves to a book like that.

This series is kind of tiring to read, but in a good way. So many good baiting WILL THEY SUCCEED OR NOT scenes. Not surprised by the result though, about their journey to reach Koushien...
I don't even like baseball or has a clue about the majority of its rules, but I still like reading it. Too bad about the massive lack of romance though

20 manga? That's a pretty long list you're asking for.
I'd pick stuff like:
- Dowman Sayman's works
- Hinamatsuri
- Jitsu wa Watashi wa
- Yotsuba&!
- Prison School (for now)
- Dorohedoro
- Yandere Kanojo
- One Punch-man
- Molester Man
- Genkaku Picasso
- Sumire 16-sai!!
- Nukoduke!
- Hi Score Girl
- Flying Witch
- Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer
- Sakamoto desu ga?
- Monster Musume
That's a "for now" too, isn't it? Lol Capcom

Probably not. The students all have Japanese names.
And the first chapter had an actual Chinese name for place where the first Quirk was born.

will hero academy overtake toriko in popularity?
Okay, because in chapter 2 All Might was talking about the American Dream. Maybe it was the translator.
If it sells and becomes even more popular I seriously doubt this will happen.
I have yet to read it, but nope, it doesn't seem to have one.
Possibly. Especially if it gets the same kind of marketing push Toriko got.
