Manga I'm reading
These are the series I'm currently following. There are a lot of good titles in Jump right now!
Weeklies
- Sakamoto Days
- Akane-banashi
- Someone Hertz
- Ichi the Witch
- Witch Watch
- Kagurabachi
- Hima-Ten!
- Spy x Family
- Dandadan
- Dogsred
- Choujin X
- Kurumizawa's Folly
- The Mage Next Door
- Hunter x Hunter (in theory, if Togashi ever comes back from hiatus)
I look forward to Sakamoto Days and Akane-banashi the most each week (now that The Elusive Samurai, which had consistently been my favourite series the last couple of years, has finished). Someone Hertz is a newer series that is rapidly rising up my favourites list.
Monthlies
- Seraph of the End
- Blue Exorcist
- Gokurakugai
Seraph of the End and Blue Exorcist both feel near the end and far away from the end at the same time. The stories definitely feel like they are close to the conclusion, but the authers can really drag it out. And on a monthly release schedule, who knows how much longer it will take for them to wrap up. I'm glad I'm still enjoying them!
Recently finished series
A brief list of recently finished series. Maybe I'll write a more exhaustive list some day, spanning many years of manga reading...
- Hell's Paradise: I had to conclude the story after watching the anime. It was an exciting finish and I rather liked the ending
- Golden Kamuy: Binge read the end of the manga after the "final" season of the anime ended on an annoying cliffhanger. A very satisying ending for most of the characters!
- Chainsaw Man: Part 2 was a big train wreck and the ending was awful IMHO
- The Elusive Samurai: Truly one of my favourite manga in a long time
- Jujutsu Kaisen Module: It wasn't bad, but also wasn't great. Felt a bit unnecessary to me
