Haikyuu! 312: Ramping up that artificial tension! I like how these points played out, but there weren’t any real developments this chapter.

Dr. Stone 68: As expected, not a car but a steam traction engine. Still pretty cool, and Chrome had a nice chapter showing his resolve.

The Promised Neverland 97: Interesting transition chapter. Emma is as optimistic and grandiose as ever in her goals. We also got a glimpse of Norman, presumably in the present time, and a new human bad guy.

One Piece 912: Luffy bonds with another kid, in an unusual way this time. It’s gonna be interesting to see if he fights alongside Zoro with a sword. I like how Zoro tries so hard to sound like he’s in a jidai-geki but is so bad at it, haha.

Haikyuu! 311: Poor Hinata-kun! But I’m pretty sure the set will be won by him overcoming the frustration of being shut out and simply pushing through with something new. I’m glad this series has moved past crazy techniques and is getting bogged down in strategy and stamina. It’s much more believable.

Dr. Stone 67: I’m sure this ‘automobile’ will be as much a car as a two-way radio is a cellphone, but it’s nice to move towards action again.

D.Gray-Man 229: Oh. It’s been months and months of finding and retrieving Allen – and now he’s just gone into the arc with Kanda? That feels a bit anticlimactic. And poor Timcampy.

The Promised Neverland 96: whaaaat? Yuugo? You can’t have that name, that’s the cute Eliatrope’s name. Oh well. Nice to see things work out for the kids – predictable as it was – and now we can move on to rescuing the lil’ kids. 

One Piece 911: This is shaping up to be a good arc with a classic One Piece opening. Luffy finds a cute and kind-hearted kid with a big problem. And there’s even a coincidental link to him. It’ll be interesting to see how this develops.

Haikyuu! 310: Sneaky Kenma! Nice to see real strategy coming into play in a sports manga. Seems like there should be plenty of workarounds, though. Well, this set is obviously going to Karasuno, so it’s not going to work as well as all that.

The Promised Neverland 95: It was nice to see this manga for sale prominently in UK comic shops today. And it remains strong, even with this arc ending on a slightly cheesy and cliché note.

Dr. Stone 66: Hrmmm, this one felt a little too far-fetched, especially since the first thing it did was show the big plan not working. But it actually brought a smile to my face, so I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it. 

One Piece 910: cute reactions to the familiar faces in the papers, and more very very obvious references to Japanese art. Hokusai waves are what you expect to see in foreign attempts to have a Japanese feel, not Japanese ones! Still, the octopus appearing was funny and I’m interested to see where this goes.

Haikyuu! 309: Oh Hinata! You messed up. I bet this will mean he loses his cool for a while but they’ll obviously win the set. Just probably by a whisker.

The Promised Neverland 94: this chapter felt a little sloppy. A lot of space given to reiterating what happened last chapter, then a skipped-over significant reunion, and then a rushed set-up on the last page.

Boruto 25: Boruto did a good job of surprising me by being better than expected, but the last arc disappointed. Will this one be better? The set-up is dull but the art was at least very nice to look at. I wish I cared about the characters more, though. It’s a bit of a chore to read, cute as Boruto himself is.

Dr. Stone 65: old players back in the story and the plan well in motion. Interesting to see if it works. But I doubt it, because we need a more action-packed solution!
