In order of reading. If it were a ranking, Dr Stone would be on top this week.
BB: Now he’s being a good friend. And the girl has feelings for him after all. I hope this won’t become the main theme of the story, because even if done well, it’s still very cliché.
WW: Nice strategizing. But,
er, that’s not the end of the big boss (lol), is it? Because that would be kinda anti-climactic.
TES: Ugh! Why? This chapter had the potential to be really powerful, and then they turned it into a farce. Why would you do that? AssClass knew when to be comedic and when to be serious, how come this series is constantly giving me mood whiplash?
Neru: Haha, nice! If cheating is allowed, you should do it right.
Mashle: This chapter had some good moments, but the ending was extremely preachy (and also kind of untrue in this context) and I feel like it would’ve been better if we got some of this mixed in with other chapters instead of cramming it all together.
Sakamoto: Loved this.
Dr Stone: *snort* Gotta love their “Well,
of course I know how to build a fax machine from scratch, duh!” attitude. No-one’s even questioning it at this point.
And then we put the inventions aside for a story about two sad morons who need a mentalist to translate for them and I’m crying.
BC: Nice. Though the final (stage of the) fight went really fast after all that build-up.
Red Hood: That’s not an exam, that’s a completely different series. Guess I’ll ignore the boring intro and treat this as a new beginning then. The world building has already gone up by several levels, now let’s see if we can get some more character development going.
Though,
er… that twist at the end gave me a lot of questions. Most notably, were this guy and granny working together the whole time? (Since she apparently lied for him and all.) Because in that case, that’s a,
er, not a good look for his character.
Btw, do they have mixed toilets here or are the symbols just different in Japan?
UU: There we go! I’m glad both of them are equally aware of the risks.
Yozakura: Aw! The flashback was already cute, but I didn’t expect her crying. They did a good job working this into the story without it feeling jarred, too.
CF: They’re all so nice. Even the bad guys. I didn’t think it was rushed… in fact, I don’t see any real death flags at all, but they could probably end it in a few chapters if they wanted to.
15. (-2) Dr. Stone - While I was a fan of the science focus (for once) last time, it was lost on me again and them getting a fax already just felt... silly. The chapter was saved from the depths thanks to the shift in focus on the brothers' relationship and a nice outcome between them.
“Already”? The fax machine predates both the telephone and the gramophone. If anything, they should’ve gotten that shit five seasons ago.

Is this the same artist as Nisekoi? Luffy reminds me of the main character from that series (Nami too, to a lesser extent).
