Mixed Feelings
On this round of Jump manga with untapped potential, we have a little Norse boy with an axe fighting lichts. I rated this a 6 but I think a 5.5 is more apt. It really straddled the line between I'm having fun reading this and I'm waiting for it to grow into itself. The characters and concept were solid. The artwork was charming.

Preliminary (8/20 eps)
Ice Head Gill certainly exists. Having followed it since Day 1, when it first debuted, I could already smell the axe-bait.

Some of the best shonen ever are adventures. However, as Red Hood certainly showed, adventure series usually have a hard time in Jump nowadays. And while Gill did have a decent first chapter, it went downhill from there.

Plot: 3
Gill's first chapter was actually sort of decent, leaving me with some hope for it. However, it also didn't have much originality, aside ...
