I wasn't expecting a manga titled Ultra Battle Satellite being a sports manga.

I wasn't impressed with Cyborg Roggy as I thought I would be. The artwork was good, nice paneling, pacing and refined. But nothing in the story grabbed me. Kagamigami third chapter was absolutely SUPERB. It tackled any misgivings I had about the second chapter and then some. This is truly a veteran mangaka. Black Clover I have a soft spot for. The pacing was unreal, I feel like Yuki threw out five or six chapters and gave us this as a second chapter. Clearly he has no intentions of doing a tournament or competition. I see Asta joining a Mage guild fairly quickly and the story progressing from there. Ultra Batlle Satelitte I have no expectations for but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

Well, Hero wasn't exciting after chapter 2 and here where it is right now.
Different tastes, I guess. BnH had me right from the start.
@Amaranth:
Black Clover is frankly like a paint-by-numbers of how to make a successful shonen manga, which means that it'll probably appeal to a lot of people, but for me it just feels formulaic. I expect more discerning readers will find it unoriginal – it is basically Naruto, with hints of other mainstream series thrown in. I feel like I can predict how the next chapter will play out, and how the first arc in general will go.
I don't think it'll appeal to people too much. It's not even creatively formulaic.
-
I enjoyed Cyborg Roggy and hope it does well.
It wasn't amazing or anything but I liked the characters and dialogue plus it was pretty funny imo.
Hope it gets better and lasts and if not I'd like to see more from this mangaka in the future.
Roggy is pretty based. -
Kubo staying faithful to his characters, I see.
Kubo likes ramen.
you know who else likes ramen?

Thank you. First glance it seems pretty decent. I just love this Jump+ concept. It gives a platform for mangaka that otherwise don't have one. I hope all parties benefit.

Yeah, but Jump+ still cancel series which has poor reception.

Well, I'm not sure it is cancelled or not, but series (like Jingi Naki Yoshida-ke, Mofu Mofu, and Killer Heaven) have ended early stage (and there isn't any mention about being mini-series or not). So, Jump+ does give more chance for the authors to serialize their manga, but they still get axed if their reception is low.

Wow. That's a really uninteresting cover for HiFi Cluster. Almost like he ripped it straight from one of his panels, looks so pedestrian, even against the Ageha and ERoboto covers….

What? I don't know if they had a flashback and the character looks exactly the same, or if they discovered a magic spring of healing, but isn't like the entire point of the main character of Judos that his hands look like they have been through a garbage disposal? I wonder if there really is an explanation or if it was just a slip up.
And I am kinda happy to see Gakkyuu Houtei at the bottom. I enjoy it, but it really isn't the type of thing that I would want as weekly manga, or a manga in general. There is a reason why Ace Attorney is game series. Even the manga of it is released in bursts.
I much rather see what collab Obata will due next. It seemed that at the end of Bakuman he and Ohba alluded to working together again. -
My three favourites in the top 3.
Nice :) -

Nope. Not until they're 8 weeks into serialization.

Man, Gintama is so erratic. I don't see what's so bad or erratic about the contents though.
It's a comedy series. They tend not to score super high as a whole.
Generally when Gintama hits the higher ranks, it's when something serious happened.

Ultra Battle Satelitte was pretty solid. It's a throwback series to the 80's and 90's with modern day Shonen Champion sensibilities. Supremely impressive serialization round.

Yeah, they're not all fantastic, but they're all at least decent, and nothing is even close to as awful as any of the first round of jump starts (Judos, HiFi Cluster, Sporting Salt)

UBS was good but not great IMO. Not sure that this kind of old school concept will work. We'll see. Interested to see a more contested fight from the MC.
Roggy had an amazing spread this week but I'm still not enjoying the story. The MC is great though.
As for Black Clover, I liked the last spread but the rest was still weak. How many times will the MC repeat that he will be the wizard king ? An MC repeating his goal is frequent in Shonen but that's just too much in this one. My impression for this round: Kagamigami >>> Roggy > UBS >> Black Clover
If one title will become a regular for ESJ, I hope it's Kagamigami.
