Next new Jump Start is Shuudan by Yokota Takuma, author of Straighten Up. Now we have even more competition for sports manga, this one being soccer based.




U19, a series that had an interesting premise and setting of dystopian Japan where the adults oppress children, sadly got cancelled in Jump this issue, which makes me think cancellation may be in the cards for another series with this recent pattern.  22 series or so is usually the limit in Jump




Dr. Stone 15

Taiju and Yuzuriha are still calling out to Senkuu, but as the rain stops, they’re worried they might be attracting Tsukasa’s attention with the noise.

But Senkuu returns to consciousness, praising his friends for figuring things out. He emphasizes they should move on, not focusing so much on being thankful that they don’t progress otherwise.




Yuzuriha pulls out a flag that she put together that she thinks looks like a rocket, something that Senkuu could use as a symbol.

She also moves to splint his neck, though Senkuu insists he’s fine, Taiju amazed that the petrification managed to heal in this situation, referring to it as a Dr. Stone of sorts




Senkuu thinks to himself that it is odd, suggesting that what turned them to stone may not have been an attack, possibly even having some restorative properties in some respect.

Yuzuriha wonders if they could still heal those who are broken statues, Senkuu getting an idea from that.

He tells her his plan, which she thinks is risky, Taiju asking directly what it is.

Senkuu explains that since Tsukasa thinks he’s dead, that Taiju and Yuzuriha should join him and infiltrate his new country as spies for Senkuu to get information on him.

The details of the plan are something only Yuzuriha knows, Taiju told to focus on protecting her.

Taiju’s worried about Tsukasa possibly getting access to more things, wondering how Senkuu will get his resources to fight against him with a new scientific army. Senkuu responds that he intends to find those groups that set the signal fires, including the girl from before, to generate his own group.


The two split off, fighting on two fronts as they bid a brief farewell, Taiju trusting his friend. Stopping himself from screaming out beyond calling out Senkuu’s name, he holds up a fist




Senkuu takes the flag, tying it to a stick and vowing to bring forth the kingdom of science as the chapter ends


Very nice turn of events, especially because it allows for the cast to diversify without necessarily taking away from Taiju and Yuzuriha’s contributions as well as emphasizing what Yuzuriha is good at and can bring to this Stone World.





We Can’t Study 18

We see that Yuiga’s three students are all improving greatly in the areas they performed poorly at initially, the headmaster impressed at their growth.

Kobayashi and Oomori notice Yuiga smiling to himself, asking if he’s dating one of the three girls he tutors, which Yuiga thinks is absurd. Oomori even jokes that he would’ve gotten a kiss from them at this point if it were him, which makes Yuiga act odd, revealing that he did kiss someone implicitly.



Uruka’s walking down the hall studying her vocabulary when Oomori runs past her, furious that Yuiga got a kiss from a girl. She’s confused at this, later bringing it up when she and Yuiga are studying interrogative questions, asking him if he’s kissed a girl.



Yuiga asks how she even knows this, Uruka thinking he’s confirmed it as she runs off, saying she has to go to swimming practice.

We see her on the roof, getting a bit sad, though she blames herself for not acting before. Fumino approaches her, Uruka asking her about the love problems under the pretense of it being for a friend, though she’s blatantly obvious about it being her and Yuiga.

The revelation that Uruka has a crush on Yuiga is one thing, but Fumino’s also confused about him supposedly having a girlfriend. She encourages Uruka by saying they don’t know for certain he has a girlfriend, so her friend can keep pursuing him.

Uruka is grateful, hugging Fumino as Rizu finds them like that, a bit confused. As Takemoto goes to head back and study, they hear that the rumors regarding Yuiga have spun out of control, much more than just that he kissed a girl, suggesting they’ve been going steady or the like.

But Uruka tries to pretend she doesn’t care, Fumino worried how she’ll do on the upcoming tests.

Rizu drops her books, seemingly thinking that her kiss with Yuiga at the study retreat might’ve been revealed, Fumino curious as to why she’s acting like that.



The next day, Fumino’s scores are improving, but Takemoto and Rizu’s have both fell back down to single digits, Yuiga wondering what happened.

Fumino starts to piece things together, thinking both Rizu and Takemoto like Yuiga, divided between who she should cheer on.

The chapter ends as the headmaster says he needs to talk to Yuiga regarding the recent rumors and such, Yuiga worried what will happen next.





Black Clover 114

Asta yells at “Zachs”, saying he should help them, but he responds that he’s tired and can’t function without sleep, so it’s better for him to do this, not to mention he doesn’t really care if they win or not

Meanwhile, we see that the Crystal Magic user, Rick Cornell, can confirm whether someone is faking sleep or such, able to discern their condition accurately. The other two, Forte Gris and Curtis Warren, prepare to attack as we shift back to Asta’s group



Mimosa uses her Plant Magic to generate a map of the area, discerning the location of their opponents and that they’re generating more magic power to finish them off in the next assault.

Asta manages to get an idea of where the attack is coming from and counter attacks, cutting the blast down, to Mimosa’s shock.



She suggests they team up together, ignoring their lazy teammate and get to the enemy’s crystal to take them down while keeping their own crystal safe as well

The spectators are shocked that Asta’s group is doing such a reckless strategy, Yuno confident Asta won’t lose.

Rick Cornell is shocked that Asta and Mimosa have figured out their location and are able to push forward so well.

Mimosa reveals her attack magic, blasting at them with a laser from a flower she summons, blocked by a stone wall Curtis creates.




Forte and Curtis observe that Asta is dangerous in close range with his antimagic sword, so they decide to split up, trying to draw their attention between them.

Mimosa figures out that Forte has the crystal, but also observes that Rick and Curtis are generating their own powerful attacks.

With things as they are, Asta can’t defend against all three and any one attack would shatter their crystal.




But Asta is caught in a paralysis trap magic that one of them set, all three attacks coming at him as the chapter ends.








Boku no Hero Academia 142

 The Cleansing Salvo is impressed at how well Suneater uses his Quirk, but says they’ll finish him off.

Amajiki thinks that he still has more he can utilize with how much he’s trained his Quirk; simultaneous manifestation, size variability and precise selection of which ability to use.




He unleashes Chimera Kraken, massive tentacles thrashing around, making it near impossible for Setsuno and Hojo to counterattack.

But Setsuno says now it’s time for Tabe to use his Food Quirk, which allows him to eat and consume things quickly and effectively, digesting it near instantly as well.



Amajiki realizes that Eraserhead knew that Tabe’s Quirk was the most dangerous against Suneater, so he took him out to allow him to defeat the others, but he thinks he can still fight.

Trying to make a defensive mask out of the crab qualities, it’s taken away by Setsuno’s Larceny

Hojo lands a solid blow, Amajiki barely able to react enough to defend, pushed back further.

Tabe is moving to eat again, Suneater manifesting the neurotoxin from the common octopus, but Setsuno steals the tentacle away, Hojo following it up with another attack, Suneater not able to fight as effectively



The Cleansing Salvo trio notes how they may be considered useless, but they have strong camaraderie under the Eight Precepts of Death. Each of them was seen as useless or was betrayed, now wanting to be of use to Chisaki in some way because of viewing him as their savior

Amajiki thinks this is more like brainwashing almost, but thinks he has a way to counter them.

He first knocks some debris at Setsuno’s eyes, blocking his vision so he can’t use Larceny, needing to see what he wants to steal. After seemingly consuming Hojo’s crystal and gaining some of its properties he uses him as a shield, knowing that Tabe wouldn’t eat someone he considers a friend, slamming both of them into the wall with his chicken leg



The chapter ends as he notes that he can’t understand their situation, but he does know they’re not without some goodness in them even now.





One Piece 869

As Luffy’s group moves to enter Bege’s castle form, Big Mom’s family and associates are scrambling around themselves, Du Feld, one of the underworld higher ups, coming across the Tamatebako

Brulee is pulled off Caesar’s back by Katakuri, the Mochi Man, along with Smoothie, Daifuku and Oven all attacking the Straw Hats before they can escape, grabbing Nami, Carrot and Chopper.



But Sanji motions to his family to help, the Germa 66 putting on their Raid Armor suits, able to ignore the flames that surround them, to Perospero’s shock.




Ichiji, Niji, Yonji and Reiju each attack one of the Big Mom family, Nami, Carrot and Chopper freed as they run towards Bege, Judge also going with Sanji into the Castle Man.




We see Du Feld try to open the Tamatebako, but another shockwave from Big Mom knocks him off the tower to his seeming demise.



Bege tries to attack Big Mom with his cannons, but Perospero creates a candy wall. And his efforts, along with Katakuri’s, make Bege unable to attack or move, using candy to stick him to the ground and mochi to block the cannons from firing.

The others inside Bege are mixed in their reactions, though Bege is especially concerned, since his castle body makes him more vulnerable now and if he dies from the damage, his allies are all lambs to the slaughter.

Bege reacts with immense pain as we see Big Mom is grappling with his castle body, even breaking parts of it, the chapter ending as she demands they all come out.



One Piece is on break next week





Magi 351

We see Katargo, a province of the Reim Empire, where the villagers seem to speak Torran from the previous world.



An angelic shaped figure comes out of a cage of black rukh that surrounds the area and slices down a massive sword, creating a black circle that seems to vaporize the people, draining their rukh away to some unknown location (possibly the Sacred Palace)

Back in the Sacred Palace, the others are confused at the magic that’s meant to return everyone to the rukh flow still working, Hakuryuu and Judar also appearing as Ugo speculates someone else is manipulating the system of the Sacred Palace

Aladdin asks if someone else could be doing it, though Ugo thinks it’s impossible, since Sinbad’s the guardian of the Sacred Palace ultimately.

But suddenly the ceiling is broken and we see David grab Ugo, revealing he’s still somehow above this world as a god



He explains to Ugo that he used the same magic Ugo did to change the positioning of gods in the hierarchy on Ill Illah in the past, stealing the guardian position from Sinbad and reactivating the magic.

It’s thanks to Ugo that David can build on that to create things as they are now. He comments that he used to view Sinbad as his God, but with Sinbad changing his mind, he thinks that Sinbad’s merely become another rock, someone who doesn’t want to move forward anymore to complete David’s plan




He reemphasizes that he will complete Sinbad’s plan in his place, summoning more angels across the world as Ugo is paralyzed with confusion.



The chapter ends as we see that Aladdin’s group has moved forward, saying they will stop David.








Seven Deadly Sins 221

Elizabeth’s older sister Margaret, Bartra’s eldest daughter, is told by her servants that she shouldn’t leave, but she insists that she must find Gilthunder and Vivian



Meliodas is impressed that Margaret would do such a thing but thinks it makes sense with Gilthunder being her lover and such.

He admires the view, Elizabeth saying she doesn’t remember being here with him when she was younger.

But Elizabeth brings up how she saw the past through Zaratras and that Liz, Meliodas’ lover, died around the same time that Elizabeth was found as a baby.

Meliodas tries to pass it off as a coincidence, but Elizabeth notes Diane and King’s mention of meeting someone that looked just like Elizabeth 3000 years ago, the Sin of Wrath reacting as if she’s coming closer to the truth.

Elizabeth admits the idea is still unthinkable to her, Meliodas noting she might be over-thinking this and needs to rest.

But Elizabeth also remembers that Derriere recognized her as someone else from 3000 years ago, everything seemingly linked together to the past and something she doesn’t know.



Meliodas still plays dumb, claiming he doesn’t remember anything regarding that, Elizabeth leaving him as she says she trusts him not to lie to her.



King and Ban were nearby, not quite hearing the conversation, but observe that the two of them seemed to be fighting. The Fairy King was asking Ban how to propose to someone and they just happened to be in the area.

Ban asks what caused such a disagreement between Meliodas and Elizabeth, Meliodas knocking them both away as he thinks to himself that even if Elizabeth is willing to listen to what he has to say, he’s not fully ready to disclose it himself.



We shift over to Hendricksen and Escanor looking over Merlin, who seems to be sick, affected by what the Druid Knight thinks is some sort of curse, too powerful for him to do anything about.

But Hendricksen thinks of Elizabeth, calling her to help Merlin with her powers, which we’ve learned before were truly the Goddess Clan’s rather than the Druids, which are only a close approximation.

As Elizabeth uses her Ark power, she enters into Merlin’s soul, seemingly engulfed in pitch black darkness.

Suddenly, she encounters Zeldris, who refers to her by name, even though she herself doesn’t’ remember meeting him at all.

The chapter ends as Zeldris calls her the Cursed Goddess and asks why she continues to bother Meliodas.






Fairy Tail 539

The others in Erza’s group notice the crack in the sky, shocked that Acnologia could possibly break out after all the sacrifices they made.

But Acnologia shatters free of the Ravines of Time, breaking out, feeling the power of the time magic he devoured flowing through him.




The Apocalypse Dragon unleashes Eternal Flare, seemingly innumerable blasts raining across all of Isghar, destroying everything.




Erza is knocked underwater, but she swims back to the surface, refusing to give up.

But she sees Wendy attacked by Acnologia, who says he will devour all Dragon Slayers and become a Perfect Extinction Dragon.




We shift over to see the other Dragon Slayers affected similarly, also explaining why Natsu disappeared earlier

The chapter ends as we see Natsu awaken in an unknown place, explained by Acnologia in his human Dragon Slayer form to be the Ravines of Time, now under his control
