Haikyuu!! 246: aww, cute interim chapter. Poor Ryuu-chan needs a break!

Dr. Stone 3: makes sense that they have to delay the final aim. And this new ‘musketeer’ is pretty interesting – even if his entrance was totally ridiculous. The whole manga is ridiculous, though, so it works.

One Piece 859: a really fun chapter. Luffy being his idiot self, with all the wrong priorities. A great little moment for Big Mom as she sees the switched-out Brook. Bege showing his extra character trait, doting over his baby. And preparations all set for an exciting plan that’s certain to go badly wrong. More please!

The Promised Neverland 030: A sad chapter showing Emma’s best qualities – she’s the best female protagonist of a Jump series I can think of. But it’s pretty obvious Norman’s fate isn’t what we’ve been led to think it is. So what’s happened? Has he been recruited in some way? Is it all a rouse and they’re on a Truman Show style TV programme? We’ll see.

One Piece 858: satisfying chapter, even if not a lot happened and a large part of it was gratuitous shower scenes before playing dress-up. I’m just pleased to see how things are progressing, and I do like Bege.

Haikyuu! 245: Hinata’s eternal rival! I was glad to see this lil’ clash, with sparks flying. Hope they spend more time together.

Dr. Stone 1-2: Another new series, and a bit of an odd one. Two highschoolers have to survive after being turned to stone for over 3,000 years. One brainy, one brawny. It’s an oddly accessible set-up and I’ll continue to read. 

The Promised Neverland 29: Hmm, kind of unexpected. I doubt a major character will be written out here, though. Even if we don’t see him for a while, I’ll expect him to return at some point. But we’ll see. 

Haikyuu!! 244: Bokuto is my favourite non-Karasuno character and it was funny to see his temperamental nature here, and how his teammates cater for it. This kind of genius is always funny to observe and Furudate captures that well.

One Piece 857: I didn’t see this little development coming. An added layer of complexity but also a way forward for Luffy and co. I’ve liked Bege since his introduction so I’m going to enjoy his part in all this. I doubt things will go to plan, so I’m going to enjoy seeing what happens.

One Punch Man (manga) 072.2: I don’t really care about Suiryu, so this chapter wasn’t so interesting. I hope Saitama comes back for this mid-boss.

Boruto 10: so ends the introductory arc, and it was much stronger than I expected. Really nice art in this chapter, and some hints at things to come. Not at all the dud I expected. 

Mob Psycho 100 98.4-5: so a small side-character turns out to have psychic power. Kind of interesting to hear his story, but I don’t know where this can go. We’ll see!

One Punch Man (manga) 72: so the throwaway characters get another chance to be significant, I guess, with monsterized versions. Will Suiryu be able to get rid of them, or will they need Saitama to save the day?

One Piece 854-6: cute chapters. Poor Luffy all wrinkled up, and then instantly seeing right through Sanji to the crux of what he wants and what he needs. And it brings us towards the climax of the arc, which is welcome.

The Promised Neverland 25-26: Mama makes a big move, and it feels like very little up to this point mattered. This could have been chapter 3. Still, I’ll see where the story goes before I judge too harshly.
