One Piece Party 002: wait, was that a joke about Chopper not understanding a sexual predator coming onto him? Creepy gag. I liked Kaku playing with Chopper, but otherwise this was another lame and redundant gag manga that gets cheap laughs out of a series that’s already genuinely funny – so what’s the point, really?

D.Gray-Man 219: wow, DGM is back at last. It had gotten extremely confusing. And haha, I thought this chapter was going to conveniently start with a recap or some clarification of recent events. Instead it jumped right into incredibly bizarre new territory. The Earl and Allen have both completely changed, though the Earl’s true identity is much older and stranger, and in general the Mana/Nea storyline is in a whole new territory of what-the-fuck?
