Toki Reads Shonen Jump 2024, Issue #52

HxH: Morena's card game begins, and she exposits that she was conceived in a state-sanctioned non-consensual orgy; Borksen learns that thanks to Nen restrictions, she actually does have actually does have an escape route. The implications of Morena's backstory are certainly staggering, but also lost on me

Yozakura: Taiyo has an "I know you're in there" fight with himself, ending with him expelling Asa by shooting himself in the heart. Taiyo's willingness to damage his own body to make it uninhabitable to Asa doesn't seem ideal, but definitely preferable to being possessed

Undead Unluck: Soul tries to force Andy and Victor's souls back together, but Rip cuts them apart permanently with Unrepair. This is Rip's capstone, where he finally uses Unrepair for someone else's happiness instead of ruining his own with it

Roboco: Roboco writes more shameless ripoff manga, but finally learns that her own original material is a lot better. I have no faith that this lesson will stick

Sakamoto: Atari's luck has literally run out; she reveals to Tenkyu that his friendship w/ Uzuki is irreparable; Shin resolves to kill Tenkyu, even if it means severing ties with Sakamoto. Both Tenkyu and Shin are losing their friends because they're killing in their name against their wishes; Atari's an idiot for using such an obscene amount of luck last chapter just to fire ONE bullet

EluSam: Tokiyuki and realKojiro gush over Kojiro as he fights Nagao; the scene cuts away to Mima getting into architecture and interior design. This seems to have an affect on enemy morale, but I feel like it's not worth ignoring what seems to be Kojiro's most important fight

Witch Watch: The flashback gang discusses the legacy of Familiars and their prejudice towards humanity; Kuon warms up to the team, and Taiga raises more death flags. The idea of magic fading away as a sign of peaceful times is a topic I've been thinking about a lot lately because I've been revisiting Medaka Box; this may inform a future essay

Blue Box: Taiki endears himself to Chinatsu's dad with his earnest, if a bit overbearing, nature. I'm glad we're not drawing out the tension too much, it makes the dad more relatable

Akane: Despite Miroku's refusal to let them perform, Shiguma and Issho learn enough rakugo for Kiroku to give them a slot; Miroku offers to grant Kiroku his name and rank if he will use it to expel the pair. This is clearly the event that led to the founding of the Arakawa School, but even with a foregone conclusion, it's a nailbiter

Kill Blue: Juzo and Shin use assassin techniques to advertise the bakery; Yoichiro wagers his staff's bonuses to whichever club can beat their challenges. Clearly he's plotting something, but I can't quite see yet how this furthers his plans

Nue: Rido spontaneously achieves his Bankai Spirit Armor and promptly passes out. It looks cool, but I'm already so unclear on this power system's rules that such an upgrade only serves to confuse me further

Kagurabachi: In a side story, we revisit everyone's favorite guy, Sojo, trying desperately to enjoy a bath despite his routine being ruined at every turn. Looking back, I'm sad that Sojo died; I hope he continues to haunt the narrative

Chojo: Keinain's new assistant, Makami, finds everything about the Chinjuku station to be lewd; this is not because she's a prude, but an extremely repressed pervert. Would

Astro Royale: Himuro reveals he became a cop to stop the Yotsurugi family from interfering with his dad's business, but only found out later that they were supporting him through hard times; the damage he caused this business relationship resulted in his father's suicide; he eats the Daybreak Ore and becomes a mutated mass. Himuro's motivations now reflect Kinpa's, but just like he hurt his dad by targeting the Yotsurugi's, his rage is misdirected and self-destructive

Kiyoshi: Asuta's time runs out and he gets away, cementing the sacrifices made to summon him; as he leaves, he calls Kiyoshi his soulmate in a perverse twist on Kiyoshi's own desire for friendship. Axe-deniers when the lead fails and lets 100 innocent people die - 🎉🍾🥳🎊🥂; throw the yaoi girlies in there too since there's about to be a huge boost in sales

Hima-Ten: Tenichi takes up the rear on the class hike; Himari fakes an injury to keep him company. Very cute, but how the hell does this moron not realize she's in love???

Ichi: Just before the contest begins, Ichi sees a mysterious figure; the Kindake Magik vows to kill everyone who doesn't worship his mushrooms, then escapes into his mushroom forest. So much for not being a human-hater; Togeice's poor sense of direction will certainly make this challenge much harder on her

Shinobi: Yodaka sabotages Hachikuma's strings and turns them against him. Though heavy-handed, Yodaka straightening and braiding Hachikuma's discarded, tangled strings as a symbol of the value of putting effort into maintaining relationships is sweet

Hakutaku: The mechanics of the AR game are explained, but Hikuma sleeps through people actually enjoying it. Maybe it's cus I don't like mobile games, but I do not see the appeal of this game, which is probably the most damning indictment of a game design manga

Syd Craft: Elio is revealed to be Levie Olyn, Syd's favorite romance author, who became his assistant after he cleared her name in a case; she writes her books to vent her DEFINITELY NOT ROMANTIC feelings for Syd. That's a great dynamic, I love girls who pine, I'm super endeared to this idiot

My top 3 manga for the week are:

Undead Unluck, unsurprisingly, for its fantastic color page, multiple great spreads, and at least two of what will undoubtedly become the most iconic moments in the entire series; congrats on netting the final cover of the year!

Syd Craft for continuing to expand upon its concept in a way that really appeals to me; let it be known I never said Tsutsui was a bad author, I just said he was a coward

Kiyoshi for dodging the axe, establishing an interesting dynamic between Kiyoshi and Asuta, and the bravery to leave it on such a bleak cliffhanger

Runners up include Astro Royale and Shinobi Undercover, both for giving me some interesting symbolism to chew on, as well as Hima-Ten and Chojo for women in denial that fall short of Elio

Edit: I want to correct something I said last week - it does not seem like Bug Ego is joining Weekly Jump after all, I think someone I follow on twitter either got a bad tip or I misunderstood what they said. Bug Ego was added to the Shonen Jump app, not Shonen Jump itself. Apologies for any confusion!

Do You Want A Bite? feat. Toki Asako

Você Quer Uma Mordida? 

Letra: Kohei Dojima Composição: TANDRE

Você quer uma mordida?

Ainda há mais por vir, você disse algo assim… Me diga Ele disse que estava apenas tentando te fazer feliz Não dá para entender O mundo inteiro não mede a vida por uma régua Você não pode medir A propósito, você já esvaziou seu copo? Se você quer algo para beber? Vou pegar uma garrafa!

A incerteza está na mesa A conversa nunca acaba O futuro é incerto, mas se você beber tudo…

Você quer uma mordida? Toda vez que dividimos Toda vez que dividimos me faz rir Você quer uma mordida? Você quer uma mordida Você gostaria de uma mordida?

A frente e verso de uma moeda, só jogando com um dedo Em um instante Uma tragédia pode mudar para uma comédia Nós conseguimos Nós conseguimos isso

Agitação na mesa Os garfos e facas imparáveis Bolos surpresas, toda vez que eu sopro a desvanecente fumaça Sinto-me renascida

Você quer uma mordida? Mesmo a amargura Se torna doçura sempre que você divide Você quer uma mordida? Você quer uma mordida? Você quer uma mordida desse destino? Você gostaria de uma mordida?

Desejar para uma estrela em uma paisagem dos sonhos Mais reconfortante que isso Apenas ser capaz de rir de qualquer coisa Apenas ter um amigo

Você quer uma mordida? Toda vez que dividimos Toda vez que dividimos me faz rir Você quer uma mordida? Você quer uma mordida Você gostaria de uma mordida?

猿捕茨[Sarutoriibara] Smilax china

The name means the wild rose with hooked thorns that would catch a monkey.

野梅が白く咲󠄁いてゐる。僕は寒莓を二三枝むしつて虛子に遣󠄁る。碧梧桐は僕に赤い實の附いたかづらを摘み捕つて見せて、これがサンキライというて、松山では此葉で餅を包む事もあるといふ。僕の國ではたしか猿取茨といふものだ。小供の時に裏山の籔(藪)にもぐり込󠄁んで、屢々手足を引掻かれたやつだ。

[Yabai ga shiroku saite iru. Boku wa kan'ichigo wo ni san eda mushitte kyoshi ni yaru. Hekigotō wa boku ni akai mi no tsuita kazura wo tsumitotte misete, "kore ga sankirai to iute, matsuyama dewa kono ha de mochi wo tsutsumu koto mo aru" to iu. Boku no kuni dewa tashika sarutoriibara to iu mono da. Kodomo no toki ni urayama no yabu ni mogurikonde, shibashiba te-ashi wo hikkakareta yatsu da.]

Wild Ume(Prunus mume)s are blooming in white. I plucked two or three branches of buerger raspberries(Rubus buergeri) and gave them to Kyoshi. Hekigotō plucked a vine with red berries and showed it to me, saying, "This is called Sankirai, and in Matsuyama (in Ehime Prefecture) they sometimes wrap rice cakes with these leaves". In my country (Tottori Prefecture), it is called Sarutoriibara. This is what when I was a child, often scratched my hands and feet (with its hooks) when I snuck into the bushes in the hills behind our house.

I usually answer this in private, but (I think) I have a fun one for this. Okay, an obscure one and a fun one.

Was tagged by @suchine-toki to post a character that looks similar to me. There are not a lot of characters with an obvious natural perm so... my obscure answer is Tohno Naruhiko from Yoshi No Zuikara.

(They lied)

Natural perm, checked; glasses, checked; crushing self-doubt checked.

For the (probably) fun/mixed answer:

(Of course)

Gintoki (natural perm, dead fish eyes and I love strawberries) + Tatsuma Sakamoto (brown natural perm, glasses and I got motion sickness) + Ed (I'm short and I hate milk)

[symbieote]

I first watched shura no toki as a preteen because it was bundled in with some pirated dvd of another anime but like..... Girl not knowing anything about Japanese history going in and then having that be my first taste of media about the bakumatsu at age...god I must have been 11 or 12 at most??? Was. An experience. Also as someone who later became obsessed with the shinsengumi it's kinda funny that I'm so compelled by the whole Sakamoto Ryouma arc of shura no toki.

Also there's something so funny about how incredibly homoerotic the whole warrior's bond thing with all the Mutsu and their opponents are. Especially since they've all got awkwardly written love interests. And then after the first two generations that are like, all about the serious intense swordsmen being seduced by the carefree attitude and unparalleled hand to hand of their respective manic pixie dream Mutsu protagonist the izumi arc is like. There's two of them. His boyfriend Sakamoto Ryouma is also a manic pixie dream boy. And it makes everything so much more compelling.

Also very funny is Izumi swearing to protect Sakamoto and saying nothing will happen to him. To one of the most infamously assassinated men in Japanese history.

OK here's my sideblogs. i'll try to put them in some kind of vague order of use

chainsaw man - aszles <- most active currently toki pona - kasilija houseki no kuni - 3dot5 persona - sophai ace attorney - ginaleztrade splatoon - kijetako bandori/love live - tsukumashi shoulder a coffin kuro - kuchou sakamoto days - akirakao

[idleminds]

I know no one cares but the anon lol but let me just add: - In Love and Deep Water (written by Sakamoto Yuji although it'll be on Nflix *sigh*) - Toki wo Kakeru na, Koibito-tachi (time travel drama and Eita, yes!)

always loving your content. Wanted to ask what was your favourite drama from summer season? And what dramas are you looking forward to from fall?

Thanks! My faves from summer season: - 0.5 no Otoko - Kisetsu no Nai Machi - Kazoku Dakara Aishitan Janakute Aishita no ga Kazoku Datta

Upcoming fall dramas I’m looking forward to: - Kotatsu ga Nai Ie (after Ore no Hanashi wa Nagai and Konpaji, I have high hopes for Kaneko Shigeki’s work) - Gekokujo Kyuji (the cast! also always count me in for underdog sports drama) - Sexy Tanaka-san (the premise sounds intriguing) - My Second Aoharu (I miss my girl, Arisu-chan!) - Ichiban Sukina Hana (let’s see how Ubukata Miku fares after Silent) - Yuria Sensei no Akai Ito (it’s starring Kanno Miho so I feel like I need to at least check it out)

ITSUYA-SAN (2012-2013) by mizu sahara

[tokiro07]

Toki Reads Shonen Jump 2024, Issue #51

HxH: A Kakin soldier, Borksen, is captured by the Heil-Ly; Morena tries to recruit Borksen through a complicated and clearly rigged card game. Welcome back, Cipher Academy.

Yozakura: Tsubomi tells the twins how they can save Kyoichiro from sacrificing himself; the key is Rei's heart, which is only present because Hifumi previously spared Nii; Momo and Taiyo are freed of Asa's control. Hifumi's kindness is retroactively proven to be objectively correct, trumping any strategy or logic from the rest of the cast

Undead Unluck: Fuuko activates Remember, successfully upgrading the entire cast and allowing Julia to steamroll all of the Master Rules. Seems rushed at first, until you realize that Soul still hasn't been dealt with, and Julia just taught him a new facet to his Rule...

Roboco: Roboco writes her own relationship chart and can't help but ship herself with JJK's Gojo and Blue Box's Taiki. Watching Roboco fall into her delusions in real time is certainly a ride, and I'm really hoping that this chapter spawns a new meme template

Sakamoto: Tenkyu pulls off some sick tricks with his bow; Atari saves Shin with one of the most romantic displays of fate I've seen in Jump outside of UU. After all of that, it's going to be so funny when it turns out that Heisuke is her soulmate

EluSam: Kojiro's cousin, Kojiro, arrives to aid the team, but Uesugi sends Nagao to aid Sadamune. It looks like we're going to wrap up Kojiro's character arc soon, since his family and nemesis are converging

Witch Watch: The flashback continues and we see the rivalry between Moi and Kanshi's dads forming. All of the comments are suspicious of the kappa guy, Taiga, but I don't remember enough of the story so far to understand why

Blue Box: Chinatsu comes clean to her dad about her relationship with Taiki, and he tries to take her way; to compromise and make things easier on Chinatsu, Taiki volunteers to live with her dad in her stead. Chad move, honestly, props to you kid

Akane-Banashi: Issho and Shiguma approach Kiroku Kashiwaya to become his apprentices, but are initially turned away until they make amends with the soba shop owner; they learn of Kiroku's past in the army. I don't fully understand what made Kiroku accept them, but I was certainly touched by their apology scene

Kill Blue: The Butler/Maid Cafe uses underhanded tactics, selling idol merch, wearing cat-ears and sending scummy dudes to harass Noren; Noren awakens a femdom fetish in said dudes. We have yet to establish any real stakes aside from pride in this battle, but at least it's funny

Nue: Gakuro is revealed to have done some extra training off-screen with Hakutaku and manages to beat Rido with his new move, Massacre Gear. Not only is that a bad name for a move inspired by Gakuro's friendships, I truly don't understand what it does or how he acquired it; the presentation of events is sloppy, and the exposition of the power system is coming at an odd time

Kagurabachi: Billy Samura explains his motives to Uruha, claiming that he's going to use the Hishaku to eliminate the Swordbearers and then personally wipe out the less experienced Hishaku once they have the Enchanted Blades; Uruha understands his reasoning, but opposes his methods; as Uruha is killed, Hakuri manages to summon Chihiro. Compelling, but Samura seems kind of shortsighted here, since his plan is to ALLOW THE HISHAKU TO HAVE THE BLADES! They will definitely hurt more innocents before he gets to them!

Chojo: Kirara challenges Lily at the arcade and loses at everything, but they form a friendly rivalry. Every comment I saw agreed they should kiss.

Astro Royale: Kinpa takes a page out of MHA and realizes her invisibility can be used to refract light into a laser. I like that she was able to find an alternate use for her Astro, but it felt really sporadic; at least it suggests that other Astros can be upgraded too

Kiyoshi: On the brink of despair, Kiyoshi remembers Yamada's advice to breathe through his fears and gains the upper hand against Asuta. This definitely looks like an axe, but Asuta could escape OR it could turn out he's not the strongest enemy available afterall

Hima-Ten: On the bus to the school trip, Tenichi and Honoka lose at bingo and are forced to sing bad karaoke, but get to go to a coveted date spot as a consolation prize; Himari gives out lip balm that brings good luck in love, but ends up with one left over for herself. I appreciate that we're not dancing around Honoka's feelings, but if Himari is going to be competition, I wish someone would tell her that

Ichi: Shirabedonna suggests revealing Ichi to the world, but the Silver Snow Witch, Togeice, counters that Ichi needs to be taught proper manners first; Shirabedonna proposes that Togeice and Ichi compete to see who can capture a mushroom Magik first. Most of the comments seem to expect Ichi to lose to force a school arc, but I'm expecting this to show off Ichi's style a bit more

Shinobi Undercover: Hachikuma is revealed to fight with strings; Aoi is weirdly calm and keeps talking about fun upcoming events until she gets knocked out; Yodaka manages to take her back, and the fight intensifies. I assume that Aoi's positivity is her coping mechanism for losing her family, and she's not actually as calm as she appears to be

Hakutaku: Hikuma and Noto convince Zenji to help them make their next game; two months later, Noto very creepily convinces a bunch of kids to download what turns out to be an AR game. Wasn't this...supposed to be about dodgeball...?

Syd Craft: A master detective turns out to just be a savant at observation who just wants to know love; despite constantly finding out his love interests are murderers, Syd never realizes that his plucky assistant, Elio, is actually a girl in disguise or that his rival inspector, Souffle, is actually his childhood friend, both of whom are in love with him. Love the premise on its face, but right away it's another harem manga with no clear leading heroine, so time will tell if it's me or Tsutsui who truly Never Learns

Of everything this week, I'd say that Sakamoto Days was actually my favorite; Tenkyu's bow stunts were very cool, and Atari invoking impossible probability to make a gun out of scrap metal is a fun image that will stick with me for a while

UU would have been my favorite if not for the character moments it unfortunately skims over, most notably Tatiana and Billy's reunion. I still have faith that Tozuka is building up to something great, but that moment at least has been lost

Syd Craft's introduction is a lot of fun, I just hope that Tsutsui actually goes the poly route this time, or at least includes one if he does the multi-ending trick again

Supposedly next week or the week after we're going to be seeing a manga by ONE, Bug Ego, moving in from Young Jump; I don't know if it's going to start over or just pick up where it left off, or even if this is only a temporary move, but I'm worried about whether it will necessitate that something else gets the boot. At the moment it's looking like Kiyoshi, but I really hope not
