Glad to have the GOAT Nisio Isin back in jump.

Pretty interesting start, liked it. Character designs and artwork in general looked nice. Quite interested to see what direction this'll go in.

The goat Nisio Isin is back. And he's back with another banger with quirky set of casts and really interesting setting. The character design looks great. Off to a really solid start.

I really love NisioIsin, but his works are hit or miss. It could be 10/10 masterpiece, could be just a beautiful mess, can be something in between. Rn he is way too busy flexing his "mystery" skills (which are losing all of the charm for people who can't read kanji) instead of presenting an interesting story or likeable characters. Yet another "500 IQ genius" meets Naegi Makoto's lost brother who is bullied by Kiryuin Satsuki. I'll stick for few more chapters to see where it goes, but probably will end up dropping it just like the magical girl Risuka one. Not gonna lie, I would rather read 2nd season of Okitegami Kyoko, manga adaptation of Zaregoto or that novel, you know, the one with pregnant women playing battle royale, than this one.

Hope there are puzzles readers can solve without reading kanji. This was a fine first chapter but nothing ground breaking. I like mysteries and puzzles so hopefully this can scratch that itch.

The goat Nisio Isin is back to fuck with our brains, let's go! I ain't even gonna try to solve those cyphers, as long as I get the concept, I am good. Let's enjoy the ride, I hope it don't get axed. Not a fan of cryptocurrency in real life, but I think it's going to be interesting to see in a fictional series.

Praying for the translators though.

Really liked this, and thought that the character designs and art were really cool. I guess this is one of the only interesting series running in Jump at the moment. Kanji, mysteries and puzzles always fly over my head, although I can appreciate the effort that went into making them. Really looking forward to the next chapter.

Translating it doesn't matter when it depends on knowing Japanese, among other thing, to solve anyway. Let's see what future puzzles hold.

Nisioisin’s work is so hard to translate into English. This doesn’t seem to be the exception. Regardless, this was a good first chapter. Looking forward to seeing these characters again.

I want to like this, it's just way too overblown for my taste and there hasn't been a moment of epiphany that makes me appreciate it even a little.

A great interesting start, NisiOisin is at it again with his head spinning word-play of the japanese letters like kanji,etc. Though it sure is hard to understand it, but Nisio'd works will always be the goat and the best.

It was an ok start. The art is a bit rough around the edges and the character designs are on the forgettable side so far, but I'm hopeful that it'll get better when the story picks up.

Not entirely sure how I feel about this one yet. I've enjoyed series where the core subject matter went over my head (like Akagi with its mahjong), so as long as this series is able to get me emotionally engaged with the characters and their thoughts, I'm fine with that.

Otherwise the art's pretty good, I enjoyed the dialogue, and the pacing was pretty snappy. I'm curious to see how this one develops.

What's the deal with the suprise "it's a boy"? Character clearly looks like a girl(he's even more feminine than the main character from Assassination Classroom).

Art is really good though, even if the story seems very bland and will probably become repetitive in just a few chapters.

Nisio Isin doesn't know how to show smart characters showing their wits without making it look unrealistic, at least this one makes a bit of sense bc the main character isn't actually smart, (s)he's just using the "smart glass" which solves 90% of the problem, then the other 10% becomes easy.

Two words: disturbed and disappointed. The manga itself is disturbing because it brings up transgender and sexism discourse, while I believe that SHONEN magazine is no place for it. And I think Weekly Shonen Jump has made a very disappointing and unwise thing by allowing this serialisation. WSJ should stay more conservative. I hope this series won't last long and we will happily forget this weird experiment quite soon. Interesting story though.

I was kinda afraid glasses will be doing 100% of the job but it seems Iroha also use some brain.

It would be hilarious (especially if it was done unironically)... also smart glasses and cryptocurrency? is this 2016 and 2020 combined into one? lol

But honestly, most likely they were developing this story when about cryptocurrency people talked the most and thats why it is considered as big thing here.... I hope for some NFT references xD

I don't get the puzzle.

From the start, looks like a crosswords with one vertical hint and a lot of horizontal ones which are missing words.

The vertical hint is immediate. It asks for Iroha's name and in English or Japanese you can only fit it in one column. So...

1. How did Iroha figure out that the first horizontal clue was "A job with ships" before using the glasses?
2. How were people figuring out the rest?
3. How did Iroha figure out the rest when after putting t he glasses on the only thing that was glowing was the column for her name, which was the one thing you can really figure out without any effort? I mean besides the last row which is pretty obvious.

This shit is boring garbage lol. Nisio Isin should stick to novels. He is not good at making manga. His writing style just doesn't translate to manga very well. This shit will be cancelled soon.

I didn't read previous Nisio Isin's works, maybe they are better, IDK. But this particular one is off-putting to me. Some people just happen to honestly NOT like the same manga as you. Deal with it.
