Notes: I read alphabetically every week.
I will put spoilers behind #CW tags & include each series' name / chapter number in the warning.
New series that reportedly is about vampires. So, yes please.

Akane-banashi - Akane goes on her "date" with Jumbo. While there's something there between them, this really was just a friend thing and Jumbo helps her realize how she is supposed to approach the story she was tasked to complete with Master Urara.
And it works.
Onto the next one and so much hype from here.
Blue Box - Taiki at the dentist running into Chinatsu's former friend Yumeka. It's a tale of two halves chapter.
The first half is Taiki and Yumeka where she reveals her hatred for Chinatsu. The second half is Taiki and Chinatsu where she talks about how their friendship began.
Broken friendships are sad & I am sure we'll see how their friendship collapsed soon.

Fabricant 100 - Yea, plot happened and it looks like the next chapter we're going after a singing sensation...
But this chapter gave such a great reaction image. So, that's what I'm sharing

Ginka and Glüna - First of all, I do enjoy how this series is pacing itself. When it's done with an area, the series just keeps the plot moving without trying do heavy handed world building. It's letting the world get naturally expanded and you learn about it as Glüna does, which is even cooler.
Also, holy crap this new arc has a great villainous character introduced!
And this screencap is from Ginka and Glüna, but isn't necessarily a spoiler so I pulled the spoiler tag.
As it kind of fits the sleep motif of this week's #AnimangaPictureChallenge from @lantana - we got a sleeping, recovering character after the last arc in the library.

High School Family - One of Kotaro's friends show up. Picks fights. Gets into fights. Kotaro sees him excited to get into fights.
That's the chapter.
Meh.
Except...this picture of Gomez.

Ichigoki's Under Control - Ichigoki gets soccer fever.
The team fetishized Brazilian culture as some weird means of making them better soccer players.
Uhm...I got nothing, but he quits the soccer club after so hopefully I don't have to think about this again.

Jiangshi X - First chapter of a new series. It immediately immersed us into the world setting with our main trio dealing with a lower level Jiangshi (hopping vampire-creature from Chinese folklore).
The rest of the chapter was their test to see if they are allowed to formally join the ranks as a Daoshi (warrior monk who fights vampires).
Decent first chapter that did a good job introducing the concept & characters.

Mashle: Magic and Muscles - Mash unleashes his new "I'm made of rubber" form which Doom cannot harm. So, Doom unloads a new form with all his magical energy released where he's a ton of clones.
Mash is getting bored of this and says as much. He just wants to go home.
Honestly, I'm ready for him to get his happy ending at home too.
Me and Roboco - Roboco is consistently the funniest gag manga out there. This week's chapter is no different.
No real spoilers, just check it out. It's always so goofy.
Mission: Yozakura Family - This chapter discusses Taiyo approaching his 18th birthday and what kind of spy he wants to be.
He figures it out before the chapter is over and it is wild who he picks as his role model. Genuinely understandable when you read it, but still unexpected.
Also, we are likely getting a legit wedding in the near future. Nice.

My Hero Academia - A lot keeps happening. And seeing a truly reformed Gentle was just...a great moment.
But this quote sums up the mentality of Deku and this arc: "No matter how far they've fallen, each villain is still a human being."

One Piece - My goodness, Bonnie. Heartbroken for her and I hate that Vegapunk won't tell her what happened to her Dad. Even if he asked her to hide it.
Also, things overall aren't looking good cause, CP0.

Sakamoto Days - Wow.
Sakamoto is now brushed to the side as Akira walks off to kill X. With Sakamoto having a code to not kill anymore, Akira knows she needs to leave him behind to truly get her revenge.
Wow.
Spy X Family - Anya. Saves. The. Day.
Great chapter.

Witch Watch - He was a boy, she was a girl. Could I make it anymore obvious?
Clearly she wanted him to transform into his wolf form in order to help her at the zoo so she could become a better shapeshifter.
Obviously.
