Notes: I read alphabetically every week.
I will put spoilers behind #CW tags & include each series' name / chapter number in the warning.

Akane-banashi - Akane meets the man who wrote the article about her winning performance, but more important is that we get to see Rokuro's performance and understand why Akane was asked specifically to focus in and watch that.
This was a fantastic chapter and drew you in with great art and storytelling. Loved it and love seeing Akane pumped.
Also, this screencap is everything.
Blue Box - The date continues despite the basketball turd showing up. He tries to pull Chinatsu away, but keeps on saying the wrong thing until...he invites her to check out and join in a match.
She doesn't go. She walks home together with Taiki and cuteness ensues.
Also, Taiki falling madly in love with apple pie is such a mood.

Fabricant 100 - We meet other fabricant hunters. But they just want to do it themselves and cut out our protagonist.
Well that just won't do.

Ginka and Glüna - Holy crap Scheherazade is just so very, very evil.
Wow.
Warning - Some body horror this chapter. My screenshot does not include that.
High School Family - Kakei leads their shogi team to victory finally besting his rival. They then summarize the rest of the tournament in a single panel saying they came in second place.
It was a fun chapter, but I just want them to stretch these sports manga arcs out longer.
My screenshot choice was, to me, the funniest moment in the chapter.

Mashle: Magic & Muscles - Yes. This whole chapter.
Great sequences. Great displays of power. Great dialogue.
This moment where Mash speaks to Doom. This is why I love this series.

Me and Roboco - This whole chapter is a tongue & cheek joke making fun of the culture at Shueisha Publishing, the company behind Jump.
I think that's all I've got to say about it...
Mission: Yozakura Family - Wow. Momo and Rei's story was a lot this week. It looks like Momo is gone forever now, but my goodness. The backstory, the intrigue, the fact that there's someone or some group out to get the Yozakura family.
It's a lot.

PPPPPP - I...I don't know anymore.
This series has had some fabulous moments and when it's on, I really enjoy it. But between the recent pacing, character choices / focus, and the story direction I'm becoming bored with the series. I'm not ready to drop it yet, but it could happen soon.

Sakamoto Days - End to the match between JAA representative Shishiba and former JAA assassin Yotsumura. Solid action scenes through the whole chapter.
A reminder to all to not sleep on Sakamoto Days!
Witch Watch - We are about to enter a fantastic, condensed training arc. Just...putting it out there.
