Naruto 655: Yup. That really was it. That was all it took to avert the huge disaster building, and while Madara may be doing something impressive of his own, he certainly wasn't there to influence the master plan. So horribly lame. I just want to make it to the end, really. I'm not sad that a hiatus has kicked in until January...except that it only drags out the title's run longer.

One Piece 728: tying up the loose ends of last week's chapter about the history of the country the crew have now found themselves in, the stage is now set. As such, the chapter was a little dull, but there ought to be a lot more action coming now.
