Chainsawman 18: Yeah, the cute lil chainsaw guy obviously has a history of being mega strong despite his appearance. Of all things, this reminds me of MÄR.

One Piece 939: Looks like Luffy found his new Yoda. Don’t know why this guy didn’t do that before.

Haikyuu! 345: Ah, so we’re getting this pattern again. Karasuno lose the first set and have to fight from way behind. Still don’t feel they’re remotely likely to lose to anyone but Bokuto, though.

The Promised Neverland 131: very odd first half to this chapter, where the process the kids are following is very esoteric and somewhat magical. Is this technology? Magic? The second half was interesting – great art that makes me curious to see this animated.

Dr. Stone 101: hrmm, after a strong chapter, this one felt like there were a few too many ass-pulls. Going to find things prepared for them in the past and guided by a random new character hailing from their destination is all a bit far for me.

One Punch man 106: aw yiss, we get to some of the good parts of the webcomic now. Not only did Darkshine’s moment get covered nice and briefly, we finally get some Saitama action. Great to see the ripples he causes even from far away. Then a cliffhanger with Tatsumaki. I know where all this goes but it’s so much fun to see it again, drawn so beautifully.

Kuroshitsuji 150: after how extreme and, to my mind, distasteful the manga got at the beginning of this arc, reverting to silly fujoshi-bait is very jarring to me. Doesn’t seem to bother the wider fandom, though. Perhaps I’m just overly sensitive to the idea of elite cultists who rape and kill children being used as a plot device. I don’t feel like I’m too sensitive to it, though.

Chainsawman 17: I guess we’re going to find out there’s some hidden manifest destiny to Denji and the chainsaw dog thing. It’s a bit lame but maybe this series will pull it off. I’m wondering how the characters escape this trap too.

Chainsawman 16: This chapter was something this series badly needed. A break and some character development. We learned a lot about almost every member of the team this time and there were some very funny moments. Not sure about all the cigarette talk in this kids’ manga. I guess it IS constantly trying to be edgy and push boundaries.

Dr. Stone 100: Ah Ginro, you stole the show in what was otherwise basically just a rolecall of all the main characters of the manga. It was a very amusing moment, heartening and disappointing at the same time.

Haikyuu! 344: Hahaha, we don’t get enough Tsukki and Kageyama interaction, but this little zinger at the end was gold. Time for Karasuno to figure out how to break this wall down. I expect them to take the first set, but maybe not.

The Promised Neverland 130: Off they go on their new mission. Dr. Stone and Neverland always seem to be in rhythm with one another, both starting a new arc with a departure chapter. I’m curious where this will take these characters, and it makes sense to have this new mission. Otherwise the plot is going to grind to a halt somewhat. 

One Piece 938: Ah, another piece falls into place. And forces are gathering. It’s Big Mom I’m most interested in, though. How is she going to fit in with the rest?

The Promised Neverland 129: I feel like this chapter just spelt out in big letters what we already knew about Norman. I guess bearing in mind that a lot of the audience is young boys and very casual readers, though, being more obvious isn’t a bad thing. Don’t feel like anything much was really developed, though. And it’s quite a good thing to see some more of Norman’s other faction.

Boruto 33: Hrmm, the problem with a sequel manga like this is that after fights got so ridiculous at the end of the first one, they’re seriously underwhelming in the continuation. It picked up after a little while but the initial slugfest seemed so low-level in a world where so many techniques were basically instakills.

One Punch Man 105: Just like Hapsiel, Puri Puri Prisoner is hilarious but you’d never want to be within 500 metres of the guy. His oblivious nature and deeply unpleasant appearance make this funny despite the underlying homophobia and trivialisation of rape. I’m amused enough that I can accept it for what it is in a very silly imaginary world.
