Yeah I guess the above average-ness of shounens is so commonplace now that it's become a new average in a sense. Hunter x Hunter still stands out to me amongst all the shounens because of the thought that went into everything and the insane gripping arcs and fights. You sorta never really know where the author's gonna take the story, compared to most shounens where more or less everything just leads to another big match up against some big guy and another big guy.

Eh, both Black Clover and Hero Academia are high-rankers in WSJ, so them being above average is pretty reasonable. Don't know about other shounens nowadays though, since I hardly read any manga.

Speaking of which, I'm also kinda interested in The Promised Neverland. Another high-ranker in WSJ, but doesn't look like a standard battle shounen and more like sci-fi/horror. I'm also a big fan of Pone's illustrations on Pixiv.

And Hunter x Hunter, I haven't caught up with it yet. The last volume I got was 25, and it's been so long that I don't think I remember much of it anymore.
