Haikyu!

Spoiler

The series ended last year, and imho belongs to the pantheon of best sports series ever made.

Monster #8

The most promising new manga of the year. I have high expectations for things to come. This series imho could be the next big thing.

I'll also support One Piece.

I loved the Oden flashback, Wano's big finale is setting up nicely and of course hitting that 1000th chapter is a worthy achievement.

Sousou no Frieren

The Demon King has been defeated, and the victorious hero party returns home before disbanding. The four—mage Frieren, hero Himmel, priest Heiter, and warrior Eisen—reminisce about their decade-long journey as the moment to bid each other farewell arrives. But the passing of time is different...

I were tempted to vote for Chainsawman for how it is such lovely and totally bonkers breath of fresh breath in Jump. But I had to give it to OP. 1000th chapter, Wano building up to it's culmination point, year starting from the flashback about Roger (and Oden and Whitebeard), more trans-narrative material, and the Scabbards being such an emotional surprise when they clashed with Kaido.

Go gOda.
