Great work as always!

Thanks! And thank you for posting these up for me! I'm sure last week's installment was a pain with how many pictures I used for it...

Weekly Manga Recap celebrates it's 200th episode with special guest, Annaliese Chistman (the english letterer for various Jump series including World Trigger and Black Clover), and a special live reading of the third part of RolloT's "erotic" World Trigger fanfiction, "The World Trigger to My Heart (& My Butt)!"

It took awhile, but it wasn't a problem! Don't worry about it.

Top 10 Food Wars! characters per the first Weekly Shonen Jump poll:

1. Yukihara Soma (6,451 votes)
2. Erina Nakiri (5,046 votes)
3. Takumi Aldini (4,918 votes)
4. Megumi Tadokoro (2,817 votes)
5. Hisako Arato (1,901 votes)
6. Alice Nakiri (1,900 votes)
7.  Kojiro Shinomiya (1,882 votes)
8. Akira Hayama (1,720 votes)
9. Ikumi Mito (1,462 votes)
10. Satoshi Isshiki (1,422 votes)

Shinomiya, Mito, & Isshiki's popularity was expected but I wouldn't put them in my personal top ten, though I do really like Shinomiya, especially after the Stagiare Week arc. I am happily surprised Arato ranked so high. I hope this means she gets more prominence in the future. The rest are great characters and would be somewhere in my personal top ten, though I'd put Erina and Aldini much closer to the bottom.

The epilogue chapter of Gakkyu Hotei was finally published in Jump today.

It was one of the best endings a series cut before it's time could have possibly managed, and better. I might go so far to say that I think it's one of the best manga endings I've read in general.

...Why couldn't this series have lasted longer?

[Spark Of Spirit]

Because Ohba has a new idea brewing.

The Story of Isobe Isobee

Kusuo Saiki is getting an anime?! Sweet! That should be a fun watch, and I'm looking forward to it! Turns out it's getting a live-action movie, not an anime. 

It's nice to see World Trigger in the top 5. It's not so nice to see Kagamigami in last place, but the series seems to be slipping in the ranks as of late. Unless SU!, Lady Justice, and Devilyman all flop, it's in danger.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I hope it starts doing better soon, but then I haven't been keeping up so I don't know where the story is.

The Fairy Tail spinoffs are ending. YAY! 

Silver Spoon is ending. NOOOOOOOOOO!

Silver Spoon is ending. NOOOOOOOOOO!

Second season of the Assassination Classroom anime confirmed for next year.

Considering the arcs it should be adapting, I can't wait until it starts. Though the start was a bit rough, the anime turned out to be a fun and worthy adaption of the manga after all. The second will cover my favorite parts of the series so far, and should go through all the way to the end of Korosensei's backstory, if not also include the Class Civil War. It's interesting how I was down on the anime while excited for Soma's earlier, and now my feelings about them are reversed. FUNi's excellent dub played a large part in that, but the production quality of the show itself really improved as it went on. I've heard the Soma anime has gotten better about it's fanservice, but I'm still wary about going back into it. Maybe I'll try seeing how they handle the beginning of the Fall Classic arc, though.
