Disclaimer: This blog mostly utilizes scanlations for scheduling purposes. If corrections are needed, they’re noted after reading official translations. Both have a place in the community, but buy official manga volumes to support the author. If you can, also subscribe to Crunchyroll and/or Shonen Jump through Viz Media to read chapters nearly simultaneous with Japan. Most of the series covered can be found through legal means, so please encourage the industry that gives us what we love

No Fire Force delays, the scanlation group is playing catch up, so I’ll be covering a few chapters a week myself.

Jump Start this week is Ne0;lation by Tomohide Hirao and Mizuki Yoda. It features a brother and sister hassled by thugs for a debt their deceased parents owed and the lead, Daigo, meets Arata One, otherwise called Ne0, a genius hacker, or cracker in this case (doing illegal things), who helps them, intending to clean up the town and take it over as a "wizard" hacker

World Trigger 170-171

Kuga and Hyuse get up to the battle between Kageura and Suzunari, cutting off Kageura’s leader with Escudo and dealing a serious blow with a surprise tactic from Hyuse.

Kitazoe bursts in to help Kageura, but Kuga takes him out, avoiding his Meteora attack to try and take him down as well. Kageura Bails Out from Trion leakage, but the point goes to Kou from Suzunari because he dealt the most damage before it happened. Hyuse continues to use Asteroid rather than Viper, against Osamu’s plan, but he assures the leader they will win this as they move to clash again with Suzunari

World Trigger will return either January or February, Jump SQ may take the entire month of January off for New Years

Fire Force 145-147

Shinra, Oubi and Licht talk with the president of Haijima, who proposes an alliance so they can both pursue the White Hoods and the Preacher. After we learn that a person is indeed inside the Amaterasu reactor, it turns out Haijima is searching for another Adora Burst user for a 2nd power source. Vulcan says he’ll make a generator without the need for that sacrifice and Nataku continues the experiments with Kurono, seemingly more humane now in some way
