One Piece 871: not sure I like the gang escaping out of luck, but it certainly raised the tension. They’re not strong enough yet, and that at least gives the title space to grow. Plus I’m interested to see what’s lined up for the 20^th anniversary next week.

Dr. Stone 18: I was totally won over by this chapter. I loved Chrome and the anti-climax at the end of the chapter. I really enjoyed the other villagers’ reactions to the ‘sorcery’ and especially the static effect on their hair. Cute, funny chapter that takes this story somewhere more interesting and revitalises this title after it seemed to expend its entire plot in the first arc.       

HunterxHunter 363: Bit too much talking this chapter, without much action. But at least things moved towards excitement with the cliffhanger.

Haikyuu!! 261: This is all setting up for Tanaka to have a nice moment, I can tell.

Boruto 14: nice to see a bit of a different kind of fighter, but this was a by-the-numbers fight and some of the action panels were a bit dubious. Not sure where this arc can go now, if anywhere, but it seemed abortive.

The Promised Neverland 46: I guess we’ll get some world-building from now on. Interesting to have saviours like this, but I don’t know what will happen from here on out. Presumably they won’t have these allies for long and will soon be back on the run.
