Haikyuu! 312: Ramping up that artificial tension! I like how these points played out, but there weren’t any real developments this chapter.

Dr. Stone 68: As expected, not a car but a steam traction engine. Still pretty cool, and Chrome had a nice chapter showing his resolve.

The Promised Neverland 97: Interesting transition chapter. Emma is as optimistic and grandiose as ever in her goals. We also got a glimpse of Norman, presumably in the present time, and a new human bad guy.

One Piece 912: Luffy bonds with another kid, in an unusual way this time. It’s gonna be interesting to see if he fights alongside Zoro with a sword. I like how Zoro tries so hard to sound like he’s in a jidai-geki but is so bad at it, haha.

Haikyuu! 311: Poor Hinata-kun! But I’m pretty sure the set will be won by him overcoming the frustration of being shut out and simply pushing through with something new. I’m glad this series has moved past crazy techniques and is getting bogged down in strategy and stamina. It’s much more believable.

Dr. Stone 67: I’m sure this ‘automobile’ will be as much a car as a two-way radio is a cellphone, but it’s nice to move towards action again.

D.Gray-Man 229: Oh. It’s been months and months of finding and retrieving Allen – and now he’s just gone into the arc with Kanda? That feels a bit anticlimactic. And poor Timcampy.

The Promised Neverland 96: whaaaat? Yuugo? You can’t have that name, that’s the cute Eliatrope’s name. Oh well. Nice to see things work out for the kids – predictable as it was – and now we can move on to rescuing the lil’ kids. 

One Piece 911: This is shaping up to be a good arc with a classic One Piece opening. Luffy finds a cute and kind-hearted kid with a big problem. And there’s even a coincidental link to him. It’ll be interesting to see how this develops.

Haikyuu! 310: Sneaky Kenma! Nice to see real strategy coming into play in a sports manga. Seems like there should be plenty of workarounds, though. Well, this set is obviously going to Karasuno, so it’s not going to work as well as all that.

The Promised Neverland 95: It was nice to see this manga for sale prominently in UK comic shops today. And it remains strong, even with this arc ending on a slightly cheesy and cliché note.

Dr. Stone 66: Hrmmm, this one felt a little too far-fetched, especially since the first thing it did was show the big plan not working. But it actually brought a smile to my face, so I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it. 

One Piece 910: cute reactions to the familiar faces in the papers, and more very very obvious references to Japanese art. Hokusai waves are what you expect to see in foreign attempts to have a Japanese feel, not Japanese ones! Still, the octopus appearing was funny and I’m interested to see where this goes.

Haikyuu! 309: Oh Hinata! You messed up. I bet this will mean he loses his cool for a while but they’ll obviously win the set. Just probably by a whisker.

The Promised Neverland 94: this chapter felt a little sloppy. A lot of space given to reiterating what happened last chapter, then a skipped-over significant reunion, and then a rushed set-up on the last page.

Boruto 25: Boruto did a good job of surprising me by being better than expected, but the last arc disappointed. Will this one be better? The set-up is dull but the art was at least very nice to look at. I wish I cared about the characters more, though. It’s a bit of a chore to read, cute as Boruto himself is.

Dr. Stone 65: old players back in the story and the plan well in motion. Interesting to see if it works. But I doubt it, because we need a more action-packed solution!

Black Butler 141: Hmm, zombie Ciel strikes me as pretty lame after the seriousness of that flashback. And it seems a bit bizarre the rest of the staff are just taking this all in without question. Now it seems like it’ll all get taken care of by people outside the main circle anyway…and that just leads me to question why the shinigami authorities didn’t make their move earlier.

The Promised Neverland 92: Ohhh, a good cliffhanger this time, though of course we’re not just gonna lose our main character. Nice that the sudden very comic book addition of a hulk didn’t just swing the battle entirely.  

Haikyuu! 307: Some great facial expressions this chapter, but the angle doesn’t ring true. A strategy of wearing down the opponent by constantly just saving their hyper-aggressive attacks just isn’t realistic in sport. Oh well, mixes things up a bit!

One Punch Man 93: Finally! We’re getting back on track and the awesome part of this awesome arc is kicking in. Some more incredible art this chapter, lots of adorable Child Emperor having to be the adult in the situation and the King-based jokes continuing to be hilarious even if essentially it’s the same joke over and over. And of course, Saitama has already made his move. Can’t wait for more.

Dr. Stone 63: This was a satisfying way to both advance the story and get to the next stage of the story together, which is nice in a title that’s becoming slower-paced lately. Not sure the spy girl had to go and check the aerial super-close up, but hey, it worked as an action set-piece.

The Promised Neverland 91: it all became like a video game, haha. Just keep chipping away at that health bar. Interesting to see what the big Norman-Hulk does.
