One Punch Man 102: Moving briskly along, we get a snippet of Pig God, then the A-class fighters. Hopefully we get a fair bit more Sweet Mask now, though it might be mostly to show what a terrible person he is.
Haikyuu! 335: Ahaha, I guess this is why I love Bokuto! Because he too just wants to have the most fun possible. He can back it up with raw talent, though. And man, he’s so hilarious with his little troll shot. Even the commentators are throwing shade with the ‘flexible mind’ line. Very entertaining chapter.
The Promised Neverland 120: Hrmm, genocide eh? Well, genocide against an apex predator with a significant but somewhat weird weakness makes a degree of sense. I’d like them to at least raise those two peaceful monsters they met in the forest – how are they holding their forms? Eating other monsters? Finding enough wild humans? Monsters that take on the forms of things they consume is nothing new, in manga or in sci-fi in general, but where the story goes from here could be intriguing.
Dr. Stone 91: It’s not exactly progress but I like this kind of chapter. Well, the agricultural part was progress indeed, even if it feels like it should have come earlier. But the silly Luffy-style “We need better bread so let’s get a chef” logic is a lot more fun than what we’ve had lately.
D.Gray-Man 231: Haha, might as well just write ‘Edinburgh’ when it’s so obviously Edinburgh. Might help the American translators stop writing ‘England’. Haven’t enjoyed this title much for a while, but when Allen gets to be Allen and might actually unload his full story on Kanda at last, that makes me more interested again. Though their sparking off each other got slightly tedious in this chapter.
