One Piece 913: Very funny start to the chapter with Luffy’s idea of how to use a sword. I hope Zoro gets his hands on it soon. And Oda continues to throw everything Japanese-y at this arc, with a sumo wrestler, a teahouse and even a woman who looks like an Utamaro painting. But Hawkins revealing some of his power was the most interesting part of this chapter – even if it seems like he would have trouble getting underlings! Too bad Jump’s on a break next week…

Dr. Stone 69: the pace picked up massively all of a sudden. They’ve not only relocated with their steam traction engine, now they’re planning on using it to attack. Should be an interesting chapter next time.
Haikyuu! 313: I sense next chapter will be Kageyama’s time to shine. There’s no way Karasuno is losing this, so I don’t see it as all that dramatic, and this chapter hinging on slipping in sweat wasn’t all that exciting. But the spikes were very dynamically-drawn!

Kuroshitsuji 142: Not too keen on this whole angle. After that sickening unnecessary flashback, we have lame comedy, lots of standing around doing nothing, and now these superpowered beings stopping their business just because Victorian Scotland Yard pop up with 19th-century riot shields? And now Lizzie of all people is the one to amp up the tension? Lame. I did laugh one reader’s comment that Ciel’s real name is Armin Tanzarian, though. There’s a similar feeling of betrayal, haha.
The Promised Neverland 98: A bit of intrigue to set up this new arc. Not so engaging, but a nice set-up for another arc, this time up against humans.
