The new series for this month have finally been revealed and there are only two. Luckily both are regular serializations and not indie so we will get both in English officially through Mangaplus.

The first series is called Toshiden Shuo Senpai by Kazuki Hiraoka. Which releases on the 16th. The author has done two series before, both of which have gone untranslated. The most famous of the two is Janji, which ran on J+ in 2022 and lasted three volumes. Actually scratch that his other series IS translated and even officially. The series is called Mafia Patissier which you can read on comics INKR, but it is behind a paywall.

The second series is called Ryota wa Ototo wo Koroshita by Ayumi Natori. It releases on the 29th. They have two one-shots on J+ but both are untranslated and a one-shot in SQ, but that is also untranslated.

And unfortunately that is all, for now. A new series is also starting in Jump SQ later this month (previously posted) (EDIT: It aparently released today) and we might even see a new batch drop in WSJ this month, or atleast early next month.

Also as of half an hour ago the volumes for November have released including the Murakami batch, shoseki tracking starts in just over a day, so look forward to that.

I’ll update the reason for it if I find one but it might just be general promotion

Other colors go to Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi to celebrate the release of Volume 1

Kill Blue to celebrate the start of the next arc

And Super Psychic Policeman Chojo to celebrate the climax of the mini-arc they are doing right now.

I have issue 44 and 2 of the manga series have pink pages instead of the normal ones why is that ?

Akira has the ability to see ghosts. After her brother Kaoru died, Akira meets up with the high school super senior, Rei. Upon joining up with him to investigate ghosts all around the school, little does she know her powers, along with a mysterious chemical developed by her brother, might be what they need to finally understand and coincide with them.

This one’s really cool!

Does anyone else find it strange we’ve basically spent no time on Iemori’s friends and family? I think it’s the weakest part of the story by a mile because it really feels like Iemori doesn’t exist before Hima shows up, he’s hardly friends with Kanai before the story starts and we get no insight into any pre-established friendships in two volumes worth of story.

I think it’s fine to make the MC a loner in some settings, but normally that has to be due to the traits of the character, Hakutaku and Shinobi Undercover do this well, it defines their characters and it’s understandable that they haven’t established friendships before the CH1 events occur.

But Iemori is fine, he’s got good social skills to the point where he makes friends with each character we’re introduced to. So it feels inconsistent that guy doesn’t have one friend of note before the story starts, hence it feels like he didn’t exist.

I think it really damages the early character development for him, we get so much characterisation from friends chatting, Blue Box and Astro Royale do this well. These best friend archetypes know the MC better than we do and have an established bond, they can provide so much insight, wether it’s through talking about opinions, bantering or even just seeing the type of character our MC hangs out with. It introduces the joint most important character in the story organically and gives us an informed idea of who our character is before the relationships start occurring.

That’s really important because without a baseline idea of how the character interacts with people and who this character is, how can we tell what changes the relationships bring?

Also I appreciate the story trying to explain his quiet life is based off family and work responsibilities, and I think it’s really important that those traits are established too, but if it’s all such a big part of his life, why have we not seen his family or him working anywhere else since chapter 1?

I think it’s a missed opportunity and in general, I think Hima-ten’s most likely downfall will be a growing lack of interest in Iemori which would be a massive shame as it’s got a lot of positives going for it.

TLDR: I wish Iemori had some mates before Hima shows up, he feels like he didn’t exist before CH1 without some established relationships.

So has anyone else noticed that some of the manga titles on the English Shonen Jump Plus haven't updated when the next chapter will launch since last week? I'm not sure if this is a bug or something.

Even alien area which definitely got axed. The author still be able to write novel after it end.

So, can people just come here, estsablish their manga and can still making more of it after it end?

I know that a lot of people hate MyAnimeList, their scores/rankings and all of that. But I thought it would be interesting to see how they rank purely based on user score.

Please note I used only their manga scores. For example, One Piece anime has a 8.72, while the manga has a 9.22. I used the 9.22

1. One piece - 9.22 (391k votes)
2. Hunter X Hunter - 8.75 (130k)
3. Blue Box - 8.16 (25k)
4. Sakamoto Days - 8.15 (38k)
5. Akane Banashi - 7.97 (6.5k)
6. Kagura Bachi - 7.87 (18k)
7. Mission: Yozakura Family - 7.65 (11k)
8. Undead Unluck - 7.61 (13k)
9. Ichi the Witch - 7.41 (1k)
10. Himaten! - 7.14 (1.1k)
11. Witch Watch - 6.96 (5k)
12. Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi - 6.93 (549)
13. Shinobi Undercover - 6.90 (383)
14. Kill Blue - 6.72 (2k)
15. The Elusive Samurai - 6.59 (3.5k)
16. Hakutaku - 6.36 (207)
17. Super Psychic Policeman Chojo - 6.32 (517)
18. Me & Robocco - 6.31 (1.3k)
19. Astro Royale - 6.13 (1k)
20. Nue's Exorcist - 5.86 (1.5k)
21. Yokai Buster Murakami - 5.60 (316)

Kiyoshi 1 has passed Chojo 3 and Himaten 1.

Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi 1 - #3969

Chojo Senpai 3 - #4017

Himaten 1 - #6741

How the preorders are ranking on the site's best selling graphic novels list.

DO NOT treat this like Shoseki/Oricon. Amazon is just one seller out of many, and their info is easy to get for someone that doesn't have a lot of time. The rankings are also constantly changing. Kiyoshi's changed WHILE I was gathering them up.
