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. Saturday, 25 February 2017

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.

One Punch Man (manga) 71: phew, I thought there was going to be a
cop-out and Saitama wasn’t going to fight at all, but in the end we got a
conclusion, and a pretty funny confirmation of Saitama’s overwhelming
superiority.
The Promised Neverland 024: I feel like everything previous has just been
thrown out with this, but it’s at least good that there’s an interesting,
surprising, action-filled chapter. Is this series fully planned out, though?
Who can say for sure?

One Piece 853: Luffy’s back to his plan, stubborn as ever. And
Brook’s in an interesting spot. The momentum is picking up, now, and I’m
certainly interested where this will all go.
Boruto 009: This arc ends in lazy style, but with a big gesture. At least
Boruto looks very cute!
Mob Psycho 100 98.2-3: so this arc will be about telepaths, it seems.
I wonder who will answer the call? I hope Dimple will be back before too long,
too. I have no doubt he’ll return.

One
Piece 852:
pretty satisfying chapter focusing on the main elements of this arc. Luffy’s
back in action and closer to his goal now, Sanji’s in a stronger position again
even though it was a bit of an easy way out story-wise. And there was some nice
interaction with his sister, with her interesting moral take on the situation.
It’s getting pretty good now.
One
Punch Man 70.2: I suspected it would end this way, with only a demonstration
rather than a real hit. But the message – that Saitama’s not having fun any
more because of the level he’s reached – was an unexpected bonus.
Mob
Psycho 100 97.13: Aw, didn’t want it to end this way, but I’m not too worried. I’m
sure that’s not the last we’ll see of Dimple.
Mob
Psycho 100 98.1: New arc begins in unspectacular style…wonder where it will go, if
anywhere.

One
Piece 851:
hoorah, an old character to the rescue…and Brook getting to look cool. Wonder
what Sanji will do now, though, knowing the truth.
Mob
Psycho 100 vol 3 extra chapters: some fun little guest chapters for the tankobon –
some funny moments with Shigeo and Dimple in the dream world, a cute story
about Ritsu wanting to find how powers fit into his life, and a rather random
little romantic-ish story about a girl named Emi. The middle one was probably
strongest, and actually brought something new to the characters it followed.
The
Promised Neverland 020-21: interesting chapters with an exchange of
information with Sister Krone. I like how each side is using the other and
teasing out information. This was a fine way of getting some slivers of new
information, and hopefully we can move on to the real action soon. The extras
from the tankobon were cute too.
