"Turns out the alt right were literal nazis" is starting to turn into cliche pretty drat quickly.

I mean, specifically for a shounen series. The premise is just generally pretty bizarre.

"everyone" is going to escape, so the kid is including mama in that group.

oh god dammit Phil.

It would be cool if Phil suddenly iced Mama, but I feel like this is just an attempt to throw a wrench into their escape plans. I mean, it's not surprising they'd run into a problem with one of the youngest kids.

One thing that isn't clear to me is why, if escape is remotely possible for the kids, an adult like Mama hasn't tried to escape. While they would obviously know she was gone after she didn't report, it's the same case for the kids where they'll inevitably be aware they're gone soon. I guess it might just be due to their level of indoctrination.

Krone told them that mamas have bombs installed in their hearts, in addition to the tracking chips, iirc.

In addition to the bombs it was shown in a flashback that she did try to escape as a kid(Chapter 23). It seems like Grandma convinced her to stay somehow(maybe the same proposal Mama gave to Emma?).

Oh, forgot about the bombs. Yeah, that kinda answers that question, huh.

edit: I'm wondering if the demons are aliens. "Tifari" is a kinda alien-sounding name IMO.

Nah, it spent forever loving around with a tournament arc the training matches, and then went on indefinite hiatus because the author's wrecked their body. :geno:

There was a lot of fun ideas and characters in that but it basically just went nowhere.

One of the six series (Dr. Stone, We Never Learn, Hungry Marie, Robot, Poro, U19) is gonna start running in the English Jump next week too.

Yeah, but only one. :( And as much as I liked Hungry Marie and We Never Learn, and Poro too, if they only pick up one it better be Dr. Stone.

I'd rather have Hungry Marie but I don't really have strong positive opinions about any of them. I haven't read any of Robot or We Never Learn tho
Dr stone is ok I guess

None of these really enthuse me like, I don't know, the first chapter of The Promised Neverland, which to be sure is a high standard.

As a Beelzebub fan Marie is definitely my #2, We Never Learn was a strong #3 due to cute character designs and an absence of generic feel-good romcom in the magazine since Nisekoi left. But Stone is my #1 for sure, it's interesting and entertaining enough and having the writer of Eyeshield 21 gives it more than enough faith from me.

I will agree that Neverland had the most killer first chapter though, and it deserved to be picked up immediately by the magazine based on how absurdly good and interesting it was. The new six don't quite match that, but I think a lot of them have potential.

I would have liked them to keep Spring Weapon #1 too, though. The magazine could use a gag manga and the first chapters were pretty funny. It's still going too, unlike the other Jump starts from that time (Amalgam, Demon's Plan, ect) so I wish they'd kept it back when it ran.

Yeah, tbf Dr Stone would still be my #2 after Hungry Marie, which is more about leftover Beelzebub good will than anything in the series so far. Those initial Beelzebub chapters were so perfect tho

I want Hungry Marie to stay around just because I have faith that the Beelzebub author will continue to make funny jokes. And while it hasn't been as good as Beelzebub so far, it's still been funnier than most other manga I've read. Beelzebub also shows that the author is pretty good at not letting stories go off track and become bad. It repeatedly threatened to become a more stereotypical shounen battle thing, but also stuck to its roots as a comedy.

I purposely haven't read any of Dr. Stone since the first chapter, because I've heard some good things about it and would prefer to have more chapters at once to read.

That's probably the smart bet for Viz. Besides Marie (which has previous artist cred) it was probably the one most likely to make it out of the lot.

Man that looks cool as hell and I hope it gets added to the line up next week.

Also my computer background is that big spread Horikoshi drew of all the Jump heroes from way back and man it is crazy to look at it now since like 3/4 of the series' represented are over or got canceled quickly.
