When I call something derp dark I'm talking about a series like Akame Ga Kill which tries to be mature/edgey but ends up being comically dumb.

Ahh, wasn't sure as 'e' and 'r' are next to each other on the keyboard. Thought it was a simple typo.

Attack on Titan
I liked how they didn't have months of mindlessly hunting down Titans. The Titans have a finite population.
Looks like this is the endgame here. I give it 10-15 more chapters..

Oh shit, is it that close? If its winding down I might pick it back up again. I kind of tapered off the series awhile ago, but I keep hearing stuff that sounds vaguely cool. And nothing is cooler to me than a series with a proper ending!
Levius volumes 1-2
In a steampunk/cyberpunk world, people compete in mechanical boxing.
Levius is a young boy who lost a lot during the war. Now living with his uncle and grandma while taking care of his comatose mother, he starts competing in mechanical boxing, mostly because of a dream he had, a dream in which he was in the arena, fighting and his mother was there cheering for him. Believing that the dream was a kind of prophecy, hoping to see his mom become healthy again, he takes on the deadly sport which pits people who have had mechanical upgrades added to their bodies.
I'm two volumes in (with 1 left before it ends and the story moves to Levius/est) and I've liked this quite a lot. It feels more of a moment to moment story, where much is conveyed through the art (which I quite like by the way, especialyl the color pages).
I'm not sure if it could be called a great work but there is something in it that really clicks with me. The relationship between the uncle and Levius is both cool and awkward, there is that feeling of two people who are family because of blood but that haven't really spent time together and yet the family bond is there.
The Steampunk background isn't expanded on too much, which is too bad.

Darkness ends next chapter, but it already has a sequel announced.

Thanks, I remembered reading after posting hence the edit to jump toc for the week
My thought process after To Love Ru ended was how more lewd could this have gotten? Then Darkness came along and left me wondering...is there anywhere more lewd to even go?
Is that the highest ranking Neverland got?
Also, why did MHA drop so much? Haven't ever seen it that low.

Its top 5 and ues Neverland has been number 3 before. Honestly the top 7-8 are all fine MHA was not in the top 5 back in December once its no big deal.

Honestly, I think you guys take the "rankings" a little too at face value. Sure, in front of the magazine is probably good and moving too quickly to the back is probably bad, but I don't think being in the third spot or anything means third place.

shokugeki no soma 201
Nice to see a little Takumi training montage. Though I guess he needed it as he was kinda falling a bit behind everyone else for being a main character.
Also, looks like Erina and Soma are ready to work as a team, now we just need to get Jouichirou on board.

Saiki Kusuo no Sainan 1-88
Usually not a fan of gag manga but this one was pretty funny.
MC with several powers and his daily life about how he struggles and deals with these powers that should make his life easier but don't.
Usually chapters dealing with the flaw that each one has, example how being able to read minds has ruined connecting with other humans or any sort of romantic relationship expressed in the most cynical way. Pretty hilarious how he can never be surprised or have any meaningful event thus giving him this condescending expression that never changes. I may be enjoying his suffering alittle bit.
And that's just 1 power

Dorksta and his three friends are the best trio in jump. This arc is so awesome.

Everyone knows To Love Ru is just a ripoff of Rosario +. Don't listen to facts or evidence, search your feelings for what you know to be true.

Its Rosario without the suck
Hoping for a timeskip and an older Mikan who will be even more smug.

I have no idea why those rabbits are being so stingy about sharing. If doujins have taught me anything, it's that eating others' poop isn't a big deal.

The arc is finally over, about time.
Probably works better on binge reading, but it did stretch towards the end.
Wonder what's the next place to go, I suppose we'll be told why the Chairman was put on jail at some point soon. Hopefully get some nice Hana victory soon too.

Oooookay who said Sesuji wo Pin won't end >:[
Oh well, it was a fun ride. I hope it ends nicely.
a trio of 4 people?
It's DTL
His constant yaoi boner clouds any brain functions.
It would explain his endless shit taste.
