Oh man. I can already tell I'm not going to like that yellow haired character on the bottom right. Just the way his face looks is bothering me.

 

[Bomber D Rufi]

equipping adult Gon with a weapon is so redundant

he can punch these things to sun if he wants

It's to hold him back and make the game fair for players who aren't using him, clearly. Someone's gotta be the victim here.

 

[G_I_A]

MC of Robot x Laserbeam is a mix of Kagami and Kuroko and (like I called it) he is doing some STUPIDLY OVERPOWERED swings...

The other "mc" is a mix of Aomine and some other irrelevant and annoying KnB chapter that is baffled with Kurokagami habilities.

Spoiler

His nickname is Robot because he can repeat the overpowered swings over and over and over AND FUCKING OVER

I'm not convinced.

He looks like Saiki without his limiter.

 

[Newkerzy]

Thats... a bit much. Maybe working on that on the side contributed to that incomplete chapter.

This is kind of up there with Mashima's multiple chapters in certain weeks....

There's no way that we can compare FT (no details whatsoever) with MHA art...

 

[Doughboy]

This may come off as a shocker but I didn't like the last few chapters of Yuuna. It looks like Tadahiro lost his magic. He shifts from the huge casts to just 4 characters.

Also, I didn't sign up for romance

Me either but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. The entire cast of girls can get screentime like I said but those 4 with the most focus/development I'm cool with. That being said just wait till that Christmas party

巻頭：ヒロアカ　※４号連続綴じ込み付録第１弾書下ろしポスター

HeroAca is going to have 4 consecutive coloured posters.

....I worry for Horikoshi's health now..

Same but stuff like this is one of the reasons I support the author even more, respect. Hori hasn't been posting any chapter drawings on his twitter lately either. He really is working himself like crazy.

 

[SharkBait]

Yuno on BLack Clover color page, hot.

 

[ElJin]

Hopefully we'll get some news or images about Black Clover's anime this week (at least names of production).

 

[Nakura]

The Black Clover chapter was funny enough... but the amount of reused art throughout annoyed me.

[Koi Kage]

Black clover had it's first relaxing chapter in a while it's refreshing to have it, especially after the last arc. Place your bets on whether this upcoming festival will become the tournament arc that every manga has.

Dr. Stone I'm still on the fence on whether this will be good or not I'm leaning more to the no side. It finally slowed down like it should've always been since chapter 2 . I do have a serious problem with this chapter though Senkuu's been awake for a while before Taiju and they've both had to wait a long time for the alcohol to distill; why have they never encountered those things before now, if Senkuu is as smart as he has been portraied then he should know that they should always be prepared for to fight off wild animals, and also I understand why the newcomer helped them but I don't think he should've automatically joined them.

MHA was, to me, all over the place this chapter and it was so convoluted it felt like I was reading bits and pieces from two separate chapters.

 

[savethecat]

The beginning of the new Dr.Stone chapter has "The Extremely Popular Scifi Survival Story" written in the front of it.

Is this just a random message from the author, or does the editor already have an idea of how popular it is?

I'm sure they already know, but they say that about literally every new series.

I'm on the side of a random message from the author, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's an editorial claim since they may think it'll be super popular.

Well that message wasn't written in front of We Never Learn, Poro, and Hungry Marie on chapter 3. All of them just say something about it being a longer chapter. So that why this one stood out to me

 

[Scruffy8642]

Those texts on the first pages of magazine raws are always written by the editors as a way to "hype" up the chapter or whatever. The author has nothing to do with them, and they aren't in volumes. And yeah, most series seem to have the "super popular" or "rave reviews" comments on them. It doesn't mean anything.
