Black Clover
Kagamigami
Cyborg Roggy
Ultra Battle Satellite
Fully expect them to select Kagamigami to continue in English. I don't see Ultra Battle Satellite lasting very long, and Black Clover could go either way
Pretty sure he cloned himself or something

WT seems to be a really unstable manga ranking wise. It jumps all over the place from the 4th place position to the bottom 3rd position. I just mentally put it in the middle of the group unless I see it begin to stabilize on one side. It sorta follows Gintama's jumping around though it tends to do a little worse in the ranks.

one of the department store in shibuya. they have some neat stuff
TBH the accident is not really big deal certain wont effect my enjoyment in japan. still bit pissed of with it
A One Piece store huh. I should have expected it, but I'm still a bit surprised at how much merchandise there is.

It's like a single chapter of a new series that probably won't get an update for like weeks.
The only reason why it seems that I read a lot is that I read a lot of new series, so all these impressions goes up on the impression dump. ~_~

There are several of these stores? That's pretty impressive.
Unlucky Boy Undead Girl
The title leaves out the detail that this man who has Final Destination levels of luck, also has an invincible body that recovers from anything. This horrible luck got his last 2 girlfriends killed, and even with this zombie girl he's concerned that she could get trapped somewhere forever with no way out. He has kinda stopped caring what happens to him, just hopes that other people don't get hurt with him

as well as some themed restaurants and amusement park attractions if I remember
Sounds interesting. Gonna give it a look later tonight.
I heard about these, but weren't they limited-time events?
The Voynich Hotel 34
Macabre, existential, and kind of lewd, Voynich Hotel is definitely one of the more... unique manga I've ever read (which is admittedly not too much thus far), but it's nonetheless incredibly delightful. There's something irresistibly charming about the surreal, often amoral (and occasionally psychopathic) characters and general morbidity, a cocktail of pitch black humour and a certain amount of irreverence that makes it so engrossing. Voynich can be (well, often is) grotesque but there's a core to it that's, well, kind of cute, for lack of a better term.
But I think I wanna put special mention towards the art in particular. I don't think I'd call it especially impressive from a technical standpoint, but it's very distinctive and really nice. I don't think I'm smart enough to break down what exactly about the art in this series I find so attractive, but I can't help but think the off-kilter proportions and somewhat simplified designs do a lot to offset the visual horror of what's technically being depicted. I dunno, it just looks good, and was the first thing to stand out to me when I started reading.
I really need to slow down, though. I've apparently hit the halfway mark and I don't want to burn through this that fast.
Elena is best btw
THis is like all of Douman's work really. There's just this air of "fun" and "softness" amidst a storm of absolute what the fuck in all his stuff. His art style is also really awesome, slanting towards a more graphic/iconic look than anything technically demanding. In some ways he's like a less lewd/more unhinged and graphic design Yukimi in his art.
Definitely recommend both Nickelodeon and Oddman 13 if you find this good though.
Wait are you reading the raws?
I've been up to date for weeks now raw wise, but don't know any of the dialogue. After Kate's breakdown, I feel completely affirmed in thinking that Prison School's subtitle should be "THE THIRST IS REAL AS FUCK."
Definitely give it a shot. I really liked it, but I got sad thinkng it was going to lead into a series when it seems like its a one shot for now.
I want more easy reads like this. It wasn't too ham fisted with the wacky or the romance, the main duo are funny as hell (PAGE 22) and there wasn't a a whole lot of Dwama to make me require brain bleach to further enjoy their antics. I guess some of those are the strengths from being a one shot but I want more.

Unstoppable Siglings 0 (or 1)
Oh, did I stumble upon an incest manhwa here?
Non-related brother and sister, who are actually cousins, transfer to a new school and while their relation is still unknown to the classmates (different last names), the female protagonist gets a crush on the boy sitting behind her back who never seems to notice her. To make him jealous she on impulse says that she and the cousin are actually dating, and regrets it immediately because she doesn't even like her childish cousin who has a lot of fangirls around the school already. But she can't back out now that she said it.
I am going to make a wild guess that during this facade of a relationship, the protagonists are going to bond with each other and learn their good sides, and when the girl gets the best possible opportunity to go out with the guy she likes, she's going to pick her cousin instead.
So far there is no dark/shining prince, nobody that I just want to punch in the nose repeatedly until the sparkle effects and background roses are stained in blood. This is good, keep it that way!

I like it so far. The color choices are interesting and give the webcomic a bit of an "earthy" look. The "siblings" have a really fun, energetic dynamic, and this blonde guy that the girl is interested in, is something of a likeable goofball. During their ~20 seconds together in front of that vending machine, only the first 3 made him look cool and manly

Fun little series.
Fun little series.
That's how it is for many one-shots~
One Piece popularity still going strong. You'd think these kinds of things would have happened earlier though.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Fuuka
Iwami hits Yuu on the first panel; is making a total simpering face at him like 6 pages later. /seo
Also, that guy that was just kind of a dick earlier is now a tremendous irredeemable douchebag for reasons.

Not sure why you even fucking trusted him in the first place lol.

This was before he murdered Fuuka Akitsuki and replaced her with a moody rock-chick.
Hell, if Costigan stopped reading it he might not even be aware that Fuuka got replaced with a different Fuuka

I stopped reading, and was made aware of it
I think my reaction was "fuck that shit"
Sounds like everyone is on a Dowman Sayman bent lately, so I figured I should join in on the fun.
Paraiso 1, 2, 49, 50, 51
Dowman Sayman has "what the fuck am I reading" down to a fine science (a very lewd, lewd science). This manga is essentially just a constant stream of random, lewd or off beat humor. It's fun, and part of the appeal comes from the fact that you slowly start to recognize the various characters. I'm personally a huge fan of lesbian leader.
Other examples:
Slightly NSFW
I spy with my little eye... The Persona 4 protagonist?

He was OK with horrible things happening to annoying people, but not horrible things happening to perfect waifus.

Hey MangaGAF!
I just want to get a synopsis of people's reading preferences for Jumps ongoing serialization....
What is your currently on going top weekly Shonen Jump series? (As in the chapter releases weekly)....... series on Hiatus can count if you want them too (just so I can get an idea of overall sense on readers opinions)
You can have your list to be the top 5 or top 3
For me it is (with a hiatus series included)
1.HXH T_T
2.Toriko
3.One Piece
4.Gintama
5.Shokugeki no Soma
Note :I also read Bleach, World trigger, Etc.... but I don't overly like those series currently..... if Naruto was still ongoing it wouldn't be on my top 5
Of course things change as series gain momentum or lose momentum in overall plot and interest

I'm all over the place in terms of how close I am in following the current stuff but whatever:

Y'all should read Dowman Sayman's Sexual Instinct and the Hydrogen Bomb War series. Finest mix of smut and offbeat stories there is.
That might explain it.

thanks guys for the lists
Seems that either people dropped most Jump series or that their top series are comparable with each other
I see I ain't the only one that really doesn't find Bleach as appealing any more
I agree that Hero Academia is to early to be on some lists seeing as we don't know the whole endgame scenario yet but so far it is appealing
There are those two other newer series that could also later be good but that is also a wait and see
For me usually Toriko and OP seems to constantly switch spot here and there on my list..... HXH is the only one for me that usually stays firm in being #1..... please come back T_T
