Wakfu Tome 1 Chapter 1: French-written and in a decidedly French style, this publication nonetheless advertises itself as manga, so thoughts on my manga blog will make sense. A sweet little continuation of the anime’s story on a small scale, it was a bit of fun – but showed how difficult drawing Yugo is to get right. With his face too angular and a rictus grin making him look cocky, his character seemed wrong through the whole chapter. A shame!

D. Gray-man 216. NOOOOOOOOOO TIMCANPYYYYYYYYYY!!!! Another messy chapter from this faded series, but...well, the Earl appearing on the scene was pretty awesome and…and, well, I thought Timcanpy had immune mascot status!

Fairy Tail 283-285. Erza’s pure awesomeness made this arc. Even the ‘banal’ follow-up had a great moment. Natsu’s very Luffy-ish display of anger at Sabretooth disrespecting their own nakama was also pretty great. But there’s going to have to be a change in direction after those moments now, or else everything will likely seem anticlimactic.
