One Punch Man (webcomic) 111: Ahh, One finally made a new chapter! And it was more King silliness, but that’s still welcome. The chapter really picked up in the last few pages with Saitama’s classic deadpan responses, and then the little Flash appearance at the end was hilarious. Interesting to see Garou, too. I assume he’ll get a redemption arc at some point.
One Punch Man (webcomic) 110: Oh! I’d missed this chapter. So there was a bridge between silly King chapters with plot development. Several heroes retiring or going to the new rival association. That’s pretty interesting and sets up conflict between the two factions. I wonder how this is going to go and really hope One keeps updating. Not all that keen on the silly self-referential gag about the managaka found dead after his webcomic stopped for two years, though, haha.
One Punch Man (manga) 107: This kind of art is why reading the manga is so far beyond what you get in the anime. I wonder if Saitama vs Orochi is going to be a significant addition or over in a few panels. Either way it looks incredible.
One Piece 940: Not sure how much value the set-up in the first half of the chapter will have in the future, but the second half was intriguing and I’m still really keen to see what part Big Mom plays here
Haikyuu 346: Tsukki continues to provide some of the best humorous moments, meanness notwithstanding! Will be good to see Hinata getting the weight of the set on his shoulders after the rotation.
The Promised Neverland 132: despite the fantastic art for the nobles and the cuteness of a messenger owl, I’m uncertain about the direction this manga is going. That cheesy chess imagery did very little for me, and what’s actually going on with our main characters is not at all clear.
Dr. Stone 102: Okay, so how did Soyuz as a baby get across this sea? I wonder if that’s ever going to be explained. He still just seems like a very clumsy way to impart some information to our characters.
Chainsawman 19: at the very least, the sheer exuberance and simplicity of this title is refreshing. It knows what it’s going for and does it wholeheartedly. It reminds me, weirdly, of Judge Dredd.
Boruto 34: some excruciating bad guy dialogue this chapter. You can’t possibly win at that level! When you cannot win, that’s when I am sent out! Rargh! But the more homely stuff at the end was cute and I didn’t expect the fox to appear.
