The Promised Neverland 36: a good escape chapter! And a part for Norman, even if he wasn’t actually there. From now on things may get much more interesting.

One Piece 863: A very entertaining chapter! I liked Luffy’s entrance, Jinbe’s strange control of the pace in the midst of the action, and of course Brook’s final little coup de grace.
One Punch Man 73.2-74: Great art in these chapters, but I really need to see more Saitama.  
Haikyu! 251: That’s an annoying audience. Looks like it’s been set up to be countered, though, which is nice to see.
Dr. Stone 08: Oh, some company! That might make for an interesting development. What’s next?

One Piece 862: I’m really glad that the action has kicked in! I don’t know how Luffy did what he did but it was definitely a cool entrance. And I guess Pudding is somewhat redeemable now, too.
The Promised Neverland 35: interesting developments abound here, too, as the title goes where it’s been building up to for so long, now. Looking forward to next time more than I have for a while.
Haikyuu! 250: Hinata has a good moment at last, and there were a slew of funny reactions. Looking forward to this getting animated.
Mob Psycho 100 98.12: this kinda fell flat. Think it’d better be time to do something completely different.

Dr Stone 07: the meat of this title is now established, I suppose. Very nice art of the daibutsu, but Tsukasa’s deductive reasoning is perhaps a bit overboard.

The Promised Neverland 034: the action begins and the chase is on. That’s pretty satisfying after all the build-up. Curious to see how this one straggler changes things.
Haikyuu! 249: possibly Hinata’s dumbest moment, bless him.
Dr Stone 06: makes sense as a standoff…but if this is the core of the story, it may not sustain interest.

Mob Psycho 100 98.11: silly aliens. If this is just a gag arc, let’s get it over with quick.

Yotsubato! 95: very cute – poor lil’ Yotsuba was stressed out by Tokyo. Looking forward to seeing more places I recognise in this loveable series!
The Promised Neverland 033: Ahh, it was a fakeout. That makes more sense, and I’m glad it happened, but the way things were framed made that pretty unlikely. And poor Emma’s ear!
Boruto 11: a new arc, and not a very auspicious start. The angle of having to be a bodyguard to a spoilt rich kid was already overdone in the original series, and the trading card idea is very uninspired. Ah well, the last arc surprised me so maybe this one will be good too.

Mob Psycho 100 98.10: again with the silly numbering. Oh well, the arc has finally picked up with a surprise final panel – that transcends One’s usual art. Things ought to pick up now, too.
