Welp. Looks like I know what this months Pay-check is going towards.
EDIT: Any advice where to buy it from. I usually only buy my manga from brick and mortar stores, and I'm not expecting this to be something they stock.
Damn, Dr Stone is ranking very well

The Witch's House: The Diary of Ellen 1-2
BASED YEN PRESS
I've said repeatedly that even the most pitiable backstory won't make me feel sorry for Ellen, but jesus fuck this is pushing the limits of my resolve. Even if this is just the light novel in manga form, seeing her fragility visualised and watching events play out in such violent detail adds a degree of empathy that's harder to muster from text alone. It's evident from (some of) her actions that there's a semblance of a decent person in there somewhere, though her psychopathic traits are clearly in the driving seat, even at this relatively early stage.
Much like the novel, this is a beautiful love letter to fans of the game. I'm sure the author familiarised herself with it beforehand, due to how faithful the portrayal of the house is (right down to the layout of Ellen's room) and the quotes from her in-game diary that open every chapter. Unfortunately I'm far too biased to know whether it's worth reading if you haven't played the game, though there's an easy/free solution to that. As far as I'm concerned, on the strength of these opening chapters and barring some kind of disaster/cancellation, this will almost inevitably end up being one of my favourite manga of all time.
As an aside, when you stab your mother to death, excitedly tell your father you did it as he's weeping over her corpse and he still won't acknowledge your existence then I can feel a piece of my soul dying along with yours. Regardless of how twisted you are.

Shuudan probably won't survive. It'll probably outlive those series but likely not long term. I doubt the Managka ended his last series on jump for new series that performs at the same level or worse.
Dr Stone is doing really great that Robot seem to the big new winners from the newer manga. Zumou seems to be gearing up for it's next so that likely wom't be ending for a long while everything else down there seems to be on a cancellation zone.

Screaming Lessons 50-51
Without trying to be judgmental, I feel like real friends would be able to spot minor facial irregularities such as blood stains and giant stitches. MC #50 (+/-10) was nearly on course for salvation until she started getting mad with skeletal power. In comparison, MC #51 (+/-10.5) was just complete trash. And in this series, garbage tends to get taken out pretty quickly.
Hinamatsuri ch68
'Twas truly a titanesque battle. Ultimately, experience is what mattered the most, and with that, Nitta's legend continues to grow.
Anzu's ramen is absolutely worth it.
Kingdom ch527
Guess Shuu Suiju isn't some chump.
Nejimaki Kagyu ch61
As always, appearances can be deceiving.
Tomo-chan wa Onna no ko! ch607
Imagine his surprise when he discovers it.
Aho Girl ch83
He does care for her after all. Somewhat.

Abandon the Old in Tokyo
Old works with certain renown usually fall in two camps: classics where age doesn't matter as the quality makes them timeless, and others that are important pieces historically (maybe they were pioneer in a style or a subgenre) but they didn't age too well.
This is part of the second group. The author is one of the pioneers of alternative comics movement/gekiga, dramatic adult stories with themes reflecting modern society of the time, in the seventies.
But it hasn't aged well. This volume 's a collection of short stories with clear themes criticizing the modern society, but I don't think they are very good.
First is the drawing. The problem isn't that the style is obviously old, I read several comics from Tezuka for example, but he doesn't seem very good with faces. 90% of the time the protagonist are as inexpressive as dead fishes, even when it doesn't make sense. Also he tends to draw the same type of protagonist in each short story, he doesn't have variety.
Second, most of the short stories are actually too short. Some of them you can feel they are onto something but they end before the consequences for the actions appear, or they are too devoid of characterizations, or they are too dry.
What they have most of them is a metaphor for a critic of modern society (at the time). But they feel a bit too transparent and unsophisticated for our current standards, and even the themes themselves are too old (sexual revolution is bad, cities alienate people, women are evil manipulators, we are like animals surviving from the dregs of society, etc) or they are just the low-hanging fruit for what it's bad and have a shock factor in human society.

Three different character from three different stories in different situations.

Yes, thanks nameless character, I totally wouldn't have noticed how people in modern cities aren't that different from overcrowded cattle trains.
I'd say bananas and tasers work just as well, lol.
I get them from Amazon.

Oddly enough, bananas and tazers are probably Yoshie's plan to get A-kun to marry Yoshiko
I think it's based on novels, so maybe that's just the start of another one?
..I need to catch up on the manga, lol.

Kako and the False Detective 5
Oh hey, Kako backstory. I guess this series now has its final(?) boss. The history behind her appearance was unexpectedly touching. Not entirely sure what's up with the MC right now, but if being possessed by her is gradually killing him then things are about to get awkward.

It's My Life - Day 52
It was waaaaay too obvious that Noah's surprise birthday party for Astra was only meant as a set-up to an awfully despair-inducing event, but I didn't really expect such a thing to happen before they even got to wrap the celebration up. Damn...
I feel like the series can have its share of fun times, yes, but is ultimately set up as carpe diem/memento mori: the manga with how most episodes end with "Life goes on" as a To be continued replacement, and the way every single characters' backstory has been handled so far (except for the dwarf and the doctor's backstory, which somehow ended on a comedic note with nobody being harmed). While I was expecting a feel-good story, it's almost like an inverse Welcome to the NHK to me (which I watched in anime form), in that it characters are having fun in the present, but at the same time face a future full of uncertainty (and most likely loss), which I find pretty unnerving.

Cooperative Life (SFW doujin)
A heartwarming tale about the symbiotic relationship between an abused girl and her resident carnivorous monster. It's true, luring people to your house to be eaten alive only gets easier after the first time
. Eventually the string of disappearances will make her position untenable, but until then, every day is melon bread day. Also if the author does make a sequel then pleasepleaseplease don't follow through on that afterword comment.

Finally decided to catch up on some of my manga. Started with One Punch Man.
Pretty great until the latest arc which is all sorts of boring. Too much of a lack of focus on Saitama, plus lots of combat and not very funny payoff in most instances. Hoping it ends soon, because it has been too long as it is.

Youkai Apartment 32
OK, caught up with the translated chapters. This was mostly a good read, kinda different from what I was expecting. Despite the title, there isn't much focus on the actual apartment, but it's more about the MC's growth and how he learns to interact with people.
It does get a bit too preachy at times, yes, millennials don't know how to interact with people because of the new age of information, you don't need to tell me every 5 chapters.

MHA
I don't think Mirio is in any long term danger because unless Deku surpasses him properly the series is a dead end (unless it happens in this arc somehow). But he set so many loser flags this arc that I don't think he'll win much either.
About this chapter, well, I still don't really understand what happened regarding the alliance and the wall dude and how the heroes were "used" so dunno
One Piece
I really hope Zeus is here to stay. That guy is amazing. I'm not sure he will because he's way too overpowered and seems like invincible too. Regarding Pudding I was hoping we already moved to dere phase but it feels like the tsun might never wear off. I hope if she joins then it does because constant abuse at Sanji will get old really fast

Twice and Toga seemingly pissed off wall-guy, he lost composure, heroes were able to take advantage of it and stop him, which is what Twice and Toga wanted cause they were never really on Yakuza side.
My Hero Academia 149
- The artstyle was pretty experimental this chapter, eh? Couple of good shots, couple of bad shots and lots in between.
- I was promised Urakaka, WHERE THE FUCK IS URAKAKA?!.
- Touga's pretty great. Tbh I thought she'd be all talk, but she can walk the walk.
- I hope Mirio dies. MHA needs a huge kick in the ass right now. Cedric that bich!
But why would that make them want him to go down?
probably still pissed off that they killed Magne.

ADDED TO THE FUCKING LIST!!! I remember the person who did Alien 9 (Since it was just mentioned) did a Yumme Nikki manga, anyone know how that was? I remember hearing it at the time and thinking it was a good combination.
Art was great and fit well. Story went kinda of the rails in the latter part, and ultimately nothing really has been explained (though it's mostly due to the nature of the game).

Thumbs up. It's been a few years since I read the Yume Nikki manga but I'd basically concur with Zweizer. While the art was almost perfectly suited and the story initially did a decent job of recreating the game's sense of bewildering exploration, the later chapters introduced a bizarre plot that didn't really have any grounding in the game's imagery and felt pretty arbitrary in general. Still enjoyed it, but I felt it had more potential which wasn't realised.
Coincidentally, it also has a 30 chapter light novel that's fully translated as of last week.

Called it.
This arc has overstayed its welcome. Can we get back to cute moments with Erina blushing or some shit yet?

Caught up on the last 3 chapters. Still into it. So now his objective is to woo this new guy. If he lies to Tsukasa he'll never be able to join them again so it should work out.
Taiju and co are gonna come back into the story again at some point and I'm not gonna like it when it happens, haha

Did they make it official it's a clean sweep for central already, or is it just cliff hanger but the result is obvious?

It happens.
I'm just bored of having no character stuff at all and just battle after battle after battle

Touhou - Magic of Isolation (SFW doujin)
YES IT FUCKING IS. Finally a decent helping of Hecatia, and it's the slightly sociopathic, god-modding "Welcome ❤ Hell" flavour. Zounose's ability to weave lightly dark Touhou tales is well-established by now, and this was another notch on his artistic bedpost. The multiple massacring magicians made for an intriguing opening act, and once the goddess of magic descended onto the scene I was so overjoyed I could've hugged Seija. Who didn't feature in this at all, except to (possibly?) get shanghaied off-screen. As expected of Seija.

Why is that the MON team are far more interesting than main cast? I didn't even think Papi and Suu shouldn't be in the protagonist's harem.

From what I've read I don't think Soma is interested in anything but food.

Because I'm bored, lets see the current sales strength/growth of the current SJ lineup. Will not include those with to little data to really work with (Stone/Robot/WNL); amount of weeks counted will be for when the series exist the top 50; it doesn't matter if it comes back again at a later date it will not be counted for my sanity. August released volumes will not be included in this. Remember, not all weeks are created equal. Some have shorter amount of days to sell in its opening week, while others have a higher top 50 cutoff then others.
One Piece
2,589,462　One Piece Vol.83 (11 Weeks) --> 2,506,923　One Piece Vol.84 (9 Weeks) --> 2,530,826　One Piece Vol.85 (11 Weeks)
Stable Sales that every other series would kill for.
World Trigger
304,311　World Trigger Vol.16 (4 Weeks) --> 277,049　World Trigger Vol.17 (3 Weeks) --> 275,748　World Trigger Vol.18 (3 Weeks)
Generally stable series, unknown if the hiatus will hurt that if it does come back and doesn't move to a monthly magazine.
Shokugeki no Souma
352,042　Shokugeki no Souma Vol.23 (4 Weeks) --> 338,813　Shokugeki no Souma Vol.24 (4 Weeks) --> 311,314　Shokugeki no Souma Vol.25 (3 Weeks)
Somewhat stable series, may be losing a little bit of steam though 3rd season anime should help that if it is the case.
Hunter x Hunter
1,199,109　Hunter x Hunter Vol.33 (7 Weeks) --> 1,184,765　Hunter x Hunter Vol.34 (5 Weeks)
I ain't fishing Vol.33's stats, even with a year hiatus quite stable.
Gintama
253,743　Gintama Vol.67 (4 weeks) --> 206,548　Gintama Vol.68 (2 Weeks) --> 223,668　Gintama Vol.69 (3 Weeks)
Generally stable, difference between the sales could be attributed to the lack of data in the other two vols's missing weeks.
Haikyuu!!
771,625　Haikyuu!! Vol.24 (7 Weeks) --> 757,219　Haikyuu!! Vol.25 (6 Weeks) --> 749,517　Haikyuu!! Vol.26 (6 Weeks)
Stable seller.
Black Clover
131,749　Black Clover Vol.9 (3 Weeks) 140,385　Black Clover Vol.10 (3 Weeks) --> 150,383　Black Clover Vol.11 (3 Weeks)
Slowly gaining stronger, anime can't hurt this growth.
Promised Neverland
78,409　Yakusoku no Neverland Vol.2 (2 Weeks) --> 122,494　Yakusoku no Neverland Vol.3 (2 Weeks) --> 209,882　Yakusoku no Neverland Vol.4 (3 Weeks)
The numbers speak for themselves here, fricking skyrocketing sales wise.
Yuuna
99,551　Yuragisou no Yuuna-san Vol.4 --> (2 Weeks) 110,861　Yuragisou no Yuuna-san Vol.5 (2 Weeks) --> 99,344　Yuragisou no Yuuna-san Vol.6 (2 Weeks)
Seem generally stable sales, doesn't seem like it will grow much or anymore though.
Kimetsu no Yaiba
21,815　Kimetsu no Yaiba Vol.4 (1 Week) --> 65,822　Kimetsu no Yaiba Vol.5 (2 weeks) --> 84,742　Kimetsu no Yaiba Vol.6 (2 Weeks)
Has been growing quite healthy, with each volume showing consistent growth in sales.
PSI Kusuo Saiki
104,322　Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan Vol.20 (Week 3) --> 92,159　Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan Vol.21 (2 Weeks) --> 81,415　Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan Vol.22 (2 Weeks)
Somewhat stable sales, may be losing a little bit of steam since the anime ended.
Boku no Hero Academia
440,536　Boku no Hero Academia Vol.12 (5 Weeks) --> 477,779　Boku no Hero Academia Vol.13 (7 Weeks) --> 547,764　Boku no Hero Academia Vol.14 (8 Weeks, 1st week was 1 day)
Was generally stable sales, anime probably helped Vol 14's sales spike.
Hinomaru-Zumou
36,597　Hinomaru-Zumou Vol.13 (2 Weeks) --> 27,223　Hinomaru-Zumou Vol.14 (1 Week) --> 35,523 Hinomaru-Zumou Vol.15 (2 Weeks, 1st week was 1 day)
A weak seller with generally stable sales, has stayed alive thanks to something always being below it.
Seishun Heiki Number One
Under 12,207 Seishun Heiki Number One Vol.1 (1 Week) --> Under 18,048 Seishun Heiki Number One Vol.2 (1 Week) --> Under 13,808 Seishun Heiki Number One Vol.3 (1 Week)
Dead man walking, may survive this upcoming cut if they only have two new series ready.
Isobe Isobee Monogatari
Under 13,821 Isobe Isobee Monogatari Vol.12 (1 Week) --> Under 18,487 Isobe Isobee Monogatari Vol.13 (1 Week) --> Under 13,808 Isobe Isobee Monogatari Vol.14 (1 Week)
While it sells like shit, it is supposedly quite popular in Japan getting it's own stage play. I've given up trying to figure out the exact reason this series survives.
