Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (Unknown/39 chp)
Doron Dororon is a part of the new batch of WSJ releases that honestly can go either way. They're at a weird place in the magazine, where really nothing is guaranteed. With some big names nearing the end, such as My Hero Academia and Dr. Stone, the potential is there for this manga to rise up the ranks and become one of Weekly Shonen Jump's new mainstays, at least for the time being. But part of that depends on how the story itself plays out.

Doron Dororon is a teenage superhero exorcist manga which features a protagonist who completely lacks the ability that all other heroes in his field have and use to fight (à la Black Clover). It is set in the present day world where people and monsters exist together, and a gifted batch of humans are enlisted to fight off these monsters using special powers. Although not showing much in the way of world-building (which is to be expected of a series with less than 10 chapters and no guaranteed future), it has already managed to establish a charismatic relationship between the protagonist and his mononoke sidekick, as well as his mentor/partner/buddy. While also featuring solid artwork and competent pacing that neither drags nor speeds so far, this series currently has almost all the makings of a successful battle manga that fans of the exorcist genre can get behind. Obviously it's far too soon to tell, but I personally have high hopes for Doron, and am willing to keep up with this series to see how it turns out.
