One Piece 975: ahh, the plan will come together well after all. And nice to see a wee bit of action from our bickering captains. Looking forward to this becoming a big showdown.
Agravity Boys 14: silly as ever. I want to see Chris trying to flirt, bless him. And good on Saga for trying his best, haha. I always smile through a chapter of this silliness.
Haikyuu!! 387: interesting to have flashbacks of Kageyama's life at this stage. Kind of sweet really. Not sure Hinata is really all that amazing though.
Chainsawman 63: phew, okay, that was pretty weird and confusing with who is controlling who and who was made a doll and the rest of it. Our rematch wasn't that exciting either but perhaps it's significant who was outside the building. Should be an interesting arc anyway.
Guardian of the Witch / Majo no Moribito 8: goddammit. Just when I thought this guy would be a super interesting companion, just when the dynamic was going to change, it became a generic training arc. Kimetsu no Yaiba just did this old chestnut really well, so I'm sceptical MnoM can match it.
Dr. Stone 144: a fun have of poker. Or, rather, cheating at poker. I don't think allergies could really be used that way but I was amused by the reaction to the five aces in the deck, lol. 
The Promised Neverland 172: time for talk-no-jutsu. And it's the trite 'end the cycle of suffering' stuff we've heard a thousand times before. Even a coronavirus reference! I didn't love this but at least it makes it more and more likely there's going to be a better arc before the end.
Samurai 8 43: ha! It's over. Some readers called it last week with the endgame vibes but I thought we'd at least get a farewell story arc. I won't miss S8. It was a chore to read from start to finish.
