Chainsawman 11: ew. Nasty scatological humour. And no real cliffhanger or compulsion to continue. And yet I still want to know what’s going to happen.

Boruto 32: Hrmm, Kawaki was good in this chapter, both surprising me with his big moment and having a level head throughout. But Boruto was such an annoying little brat. His Rodimus Prime moment might have been a good moment in the heat of emotion, but being explicitly forewarned about it first just made it obnoxious. And Naruto should be WAY stronger.

Chainsawman 10: Aww, I wanted to see the battle of whose dream was more significant, stupid as it is, haha. But the interruption was pretty awesome. I do like how this series parodies other shonen without letting on that it’s parody.

Haikyuu! 338: This was a fantastic chapter. No volleyball, just character work. There was a lot of great humour, like Hinata’s conclusion and what the third years were really thinking about. Then there was a lot of depth, too, like the very common concept of someone in Japan just quitting a sport they were at a top level in at school as soon as they stop being a student, and what effect that might have on Hinata’s spirits. And the fact that he was thinking a bit more deeply about Kageyama was cute too. It was obvious the real Little Giant would show up for this match, but I’m very interested to see what effect he’ll have on the players.

One Punch Man 102v2-103: Nice to see the swordsman trio in action in this revised version, especially the silly drill sword. Sweet Mask’s solution came as a surprise to nobody at all (I imagine) but it was effectively done. That poor giant bearded dragon, though, haha. A more realistic art style made that moment even more grotesque.

One Piece 931-2: Sanji’s scene was both interesting and funny. I liked his new technology, wasn’t impressed by his unconvincing flashback, and loved the humour of it. The terrible name and the place his thoughts immediately went to when he realized he could turn invisible. I’m very interested to see what happens with Big Mom, and also curious about just how formidable Lord Orochi really is.

Dr. Stone 92-3: Despite how much I normally like genderless characters I’m not a big fan of Francois. We already have so many hypercapable characters, yet another is a bit dull. Senku’s first photo of the new era was very cute though.

Chainsawman 8-9: I’m not sure how long the sheer momentum can carry this series from battle to battle. Poor guy didn’t even get his coveted fondle.

Haikyuu! 336-7: It ended abruptly but I loved seeing Bokuto in action and celebrated so much. I’ve got no doubt Karasuno will make it to the final but I’m in two minds about who will win in the end. Totally happy to see Bokuto take it. Sports manga makes me want to get back into fencing…

The Promised Neverland 121-2: I liked the way we could see Emma so conflicted but she went along with everyone else anyway. I guess Norman will turn out to be an antagonist after all. But I don’t know how this will develop from here so I’m more invested again. This was a nice reprieve – I should really watch the anime too.
