New manga! One Piece 636 had some very funny moments, especially with Franky’s silly new creations, but the best part was the three most formidable Straw Hat Pirates in the final few moments. But where will the arc go to build on this?

Naruto 552: At least these chapters are mitigating the disappointment of Itachi’s final appearances a little, even if it’s in such a daft way that it hardly helps. On the other hand, it’s a bit rich having Itachi of all people lecturing Naruto about relying on others and not shouldering a huge burden on his own. At least a throwaway line at the end acknowledged that.

The…special chapter of Rock Lee’s Springtime of Youth, featuring lots of naked Gai jokes (in SD style) was…disturbing.
