I suppose I'll give a few updates right meow.
I finally got caught up on Boku no Hero Academia. Funny, since I was rallying everyone to read it, and it seems like everyone finished it before me. Gonna post a few key thoughts from catching up.
- I like that, even though the manga follows some standard western hero tropes, it still touches on more serious issues. The introduction of Stain and the villains sympathetic to him did a great job blurring the line between justice and chaos.
- Mount Lady is best girl (lady?). Even if I'm biased (blonde + giant? purrrr), her actions in the Rescue arc proved that she's not as selfish as her initial appearance made her seem.
- The Bakugou Rescue arc was absolutely insane. The last time a manga arc hooked me this much was the Whitebeard War in One Piece. The constant tension, having no idea what was going to happen next, and characters fighting so desperately to gain even a little bit of ground, the chaotic atmosphere just hooked me. The final panel of All Might's victory pose had me tearing up. Even though All for One was beaten, it definitely wasn't a victory for the heroes.
- The implications behind Deku, Kirishima, and Todoroki's decision in the Rescue arc wasn't just swept away, and I really liked that. Not only because it forced them to consider how to resolve the situation without violence, but because of the reactions of everyone else involved. Tsuyu's recent reaction in particular was very well done I thought.
- I mentioned it somewhere else, but Deku's mom has to be one of my favorite manga moms. She looks unimpressive, but she's so strong emotionally, and has so much love for her son, even going so far as to stand off with All Might to keep Deku safe.
- No idea if this will be a problem yet, but I'm worried about Ochako turning into pairing fodder. She's an awesome girl, but the last few fights she got have felt the need to remind us of her feelings for Deku. As a shipper, I don't mind, but I hope their relationship is one that blossoms naturally, and that she's able to be an awesome character in her own right.
I saw spoilers are out for tomorrow's manga. Nisekoi spoilers made me smile. Not just because of the kiss and marriage promise, but also because Marika x Y-san appears to be canon.
Didn't read Bleach spoilers...but it sounds like we have two more chapters instead of one? I suppose that's a good thing...give us more closure than 15 pages.

Awesome that you caught up on on My Hero Academia and yeah i am worried that Urakara will be like Hinata or Sakura whose solo purpose is for pairings i really hoping she ends up getting some really awesome fights and great character development that isn't just being Deku's love interest though i would like if end up becoming a couple before the series is over since that is basically non existent in Shounen action series.
Also here's a really cool fan theory that makes so much sense.

and we will get 1 more Bleach chapter after 685 but we won't be able to read the ending for another 2 weeks due to Jump going on break cause of a Japanese holiday next week.
