One Piece 918: ahhh, classic fun storytelling. Luffy in full Robin Hood mode, taking from the rich and giving to the poor. Really fun having straight man Law to yell at them too. I’m looking forward to the fallout from this – and to finding out who the little dragon kid and the rest of them the crew met before really are, if their headstones are waiting on the mountain.  

HunterxHunter 381: hrmm … not the best way to return to serialization. Kids encountering HxH for the first time must be so bewildered. Almost no action this chapter, bar an invisible nen beast eating another invisible nen beast. I understand set-up is important but so is intrigue and actual activity. I only really care about the spiders. Hilarious frontispiece though!

Dr. Stone 75: this is how you do it! Look at all that action, just when the series had gotten slow. Great character moments, especially Taiju just coming back into the series and stealing the show – even if his sound bomb was a bit unlikely, haha. The low-tech tank was great, the little exchange with magma was great, and the new allies did their part too. Not sure we needed the new boobie girl but eh, didn’t hurt.

Haikyuu! 319: I see, this set is gonna be highlights of different positions. Makes sense to keep things fun. This time it was Nishinoya and the libero position. I wasn’t at all sure about Furudate’s art style at first but it’s so dynamic and interesting.  

One Punch Man 96: Just a continuation of Flash’s fight. I was hoping to hurry on to Child Emperor’s. Should be next time, though! This was another masterclass in dynamic art, but not all that interesting plot-wise. Would’ve been nice to have some humour or to check in, however briefly, on Saitama or King.
