Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

A couple of the manga I've been following ended in the last couple weeks, so I'll briefly discuss them:

Super Psychic Policeman Chojou:

The main character is of course what it says in the title. This is a gag manga, and I think it succeeded at that. Good goofs; nearly every chapter had me laughing. I'd give it a 7.5/10. A good time while it was around, but I won't particularly miss it.

Syd Craft: Love is a Mystery:

This is a story about a great detective who doesn't particularly want to be a great detective and is clueless when it comes to love. Showed some promise at first, but quickly became a generic harem thing. It actually had some decent mystery stories, and it was also still funny sometimes, but I probably wouldn't have read it to the end if I didn't think it was likely getting the axe soon anyways (it only survived for 28 chapters). 6/10. Maybe 100 Girlfriends raised my standards too much for what a harem manga can be, but it's kind of damning that I find myself happy to have a few minutes of time back each week rather than sad that it got axed.

My prediction for the next WSJ manga to get axed: Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi

Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi impressed me in the first few dozen chapters with great style and a great sense of humor. It's been letting me down in the last couple dozen chapters though with a combat arc that just goes on and on and on with the most boring-ass generic shounen fights I've ever seen. It's really sad how far it's fallen; I'm still reading it out of hope that it'll return to humor at the end of this arc but I'm worried that the arc seems kinda final and it'll end on the most mid note imaginable. The first half is probably an 8/10 for me but lately it's been more of a 6/10 manga.

Meanwhile I'm re-reading Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Blue Box, and Demon Slayer in Japanese. Those have all been a lot of fun with Kaguya-sama especially showing off just how great a love comedy can be. It's not quite perfect, but it's close.
