One Piece 872: Mama’s gonna rampage and that’ll save the Straw Hats, huh? They got very lucky this time, but there’ll be a full-scale scrap soon enough, you can tell. Zoro’s opponent even got introduced. A little sad to see Bege and Caesar leaving, but curious where this will go next.

Haikyuu! 262: The spotlight’s on Tanaka. I didn’t even recognise him with the hair in the flashback! Feel like this is building up to him getting a dramatic set-closing point…after another break.

HunterxHunter 364: Not a very interesting chapter overall, despite Kurapika not only taking care of the threat but manipulating listeners at the same time. Now it’s down to matters of protocol, which also isn’t that gripping. Hope things get streamlined in this arc soon.

Dr. Stone 19: awww, I like this funny new gang!

The Promised Neverland 47: Determination sets in, but I didn’t like how simple the explanation of the world was here. It may be false but then it seems a waste of time to have explained at all. Still, nice to see new optimism.

Mob Psycho 100 100.5: Nice showdown with a satisfying climax to it, but this rampage is getting a tad boring now.

D. Gray-Man 225: getting a bit confusing who is who with all the multiple identities, and now Tyki is getting one too. But at least at the end we got the real Allen back. For how long? Who knows. 

One Piece 871: not sure I like the gang escaping out of luck, but it certainly raised the tension. They’re not strong enough yet, and that at least gives the title space to grow. Plus I’m interested to see what’s lined up for the 20^th anniversary next week.

Dr. Stone 18: I was totally won over by this chapter. I loved Chrome and the anti-climax at the end of the chapter. I really enjoyed the other villagers’ reactions to the ‘sorcery’ and especially the static effect on their hair. Cute, funny chapter that takes this story somewhere more interesting and revitalises this title after it seemed to expend its entire plot in the first arc.       

HunterxHunter 363: Bit too much talking this chapter, without much action. But at least things moved towards excitement with the cliffhanger.

Haikyuu!! 261: This is all setting up for Tanaka to have a nice moment, I can tell.

Boruto 14: nice to see a bit of a different kind of fighter, but this was a by-the-numbers fight and some of the action panels were a bit dubious. Not sure where this arc can go now, if anywhere, but it seemed abortive.

The Promised Neverland 46: I guess we’ll get some world-building from now on. Interesting to have saviours like this, but I don’t know what will happen from here on out. Presumably they won’t have these allies for long and will soon be back on the run. 

Mob Psycho 100.3-4: One’s art is definitely improving a lot. Hopefully that will transition to One Punch Man soon. How will Mob’s rampage end, and how will this affect how he sees himself? Interesting to find out. 

Dr. Stone 17: quite a lot of the chapter given over to just showing names and faces, but I’m quite liking this development. The newly-introduced characters are quite interesting and I wonder how this little society will develop the storyline.

The Promised Neverland 45: the kids are safe for now, but who is looking over them? Clearly they’re not to be trusted. I want to see who they are. 

Dr. Stone 14-15: the prequel chapter was a little slow, but quite interesting. Nice to see a manga encourage logical thinking – like Death Note, I suppose! And The Promised Neverland right now as well. But now the title has moved on to its next phase, with the heroes separating. Wonder if we’ll follow each group or just Senkuu…

The Promised Neverland 42-43: no surprise that the bestial demon was easily dealt with, but the new twists here with Ray separated from the rest and a strange new face appearing make this arc more interesting than the last has been for a while. I’m intrigued! 

One Punch Man 75: This is pretty much how I expected things to go, with a bit more Suiryuu than I’d wanted. Great to see the ease with which Saitama dismantles this set-up.

One Piece 866: Even though Big Mom’s such a distorted, crazy character, even she gets this kind of back-story. It’s funny to see her so young, with the same uncontrollable abilities.

Haikyuu 255: Some great expressions in this chapter, haha

Dr. Stone 12: I knew there would be something to undo what happened before this. Wonder how the title will develop.  

The Promised Neverland 40: This chapter played through what was clear from the last chapter. Still entertaining! And the omake was oddly cute as well.

One Piece 868-869: Fun chapters! The plot went awry, of course, but there’s a moment of respite as Bege shows another amusing power. Some last snippets of the young Lin-Lin’s life too. I enjoyed these a lot…too bad there’s another break.

Haikyuu! 258-259: Cute, Hinata is starting to think for himself and emulate others. This kind of minutiae is what makes sports manga fun.

One Punch Man 76: Unexpected chapter, half Puri Puri Prisoner gross-out homophobic humour that admittedly can be very funny (though was much better-done in Macadamia Wasshoi) and half uncharacteristic soul-searching from Saitama.

Mob Psycho 100 100.1: Well, this is quite the development. Should have the next chapter tomorrow…quite excited to see what happens next.
