You rock, Cloudman, thanks!

I like that Jump spread too. Not only are they including the main pairs, but Emma from Promised Neverland gets her time with the stars. Made me smile. Hopefully not her last one. D:

One Piece -  Wow again, hands down the best chapter this wee, and that's saying something. DogTooth is a Logia type! I never expected that... I thought he could just create jellybeans lol. The insanse part about it is that he can haki it up. I don't think most can do that considering the nature of their powers (maybe Akoji and Akainu can). Jimbei was absolutely boss too. That Pirate King > Yonkou line was great (as I'm typing this it makes me think of Kanye West's No Church in the Wild). The fact that he said it to the point he didn't even fear death shows how much faith he has in Luffy. Insane. So it really was Brulee's mirror power (What automatically makes this the best chapter this week was the fact that I was right). Seriously though Brook really made this the best chapter. The hilarious part is that it may be DogTooth's fault XD. He shouldn't have told everyone to ignore all the other Luffys. Priceless. I was wondering for second where the MVP was when I didn't seem him with Nami, Chopper and Carrot. Overall fantastic chapter. The action, determination and humor of One Piece has been at the highest point in this chapter. 

 

Bkou No Hero - Great chapter. I like these chapters with a lot of dialogue because Horikoshi does fantastic with dialigue heavy stuff (I was just rereading one of his one-shots. I think dialogue that just goes over details is one of the strengths he has as a manga artist.) I am very happy Suneater's quirk is still intact. That would have bothered me so much. But what Overhaul is doing is the just awful. Like, I know he's a villan, but it just so happens that he is also scum. I really like that despite the differences we see in Deku and Lumillion, they are going through the same process and share the same conviction. Even though Deku is a lot more like All Might and Lumillion is more like Night Eye in judgement, either honestly would be an outstanding successor. But yeah Overhaul is scum. I remember saying to my friends that in like 10-15 chapters that Tomura is going to prove himself to be the far superior villain to Overhaul and I beleive the daughter is going to play a role in this.

Brook was great...Dogtooth really dug his own grave there. XD

I like seeing Deku and Archie Comices Hero interact...I'm growing more attached to Lumillion. Maybe they'll work together in the future as the top 2 heroes. :P

Sometimes I really want to smack naive protagonists. I mean, I get it, they drive the story forward by falling/getting pulled into sticky situations but I still want to smack them.


Am I in the wrong here? Am I too cynical? I'm pretty sure I'd be thinking along the lines of, "well, this girl is cute but she also collected the eyeballs of her victims so I'm going to assume she has some issues."

I'm not familiar with this specific example, but plot contrivances are definitely obnoxious. I see it a lot in fantasy stories, where the author tries to use whatever in-universe logic to explain why someone is acting out of character. 

I find some mangaka put the characters first, and advance the story around them, while others will prioritize the story, and then just hope it makes sense for the characters to do whatever they need to advance it. I prefer the former over the latter, but I suppose a truly great author can balance the two without sacrificing either. Though I suppose that's not a huge revelation. :P

Anyways, I read this earlier:

Keijo cancelled, next chapter is the last one

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the Reddit post, but it sounds like the author is being held accountable for the anime flopping, and so the editor just came up and told him to end it. Even if I ended up dropping the anime, this story kind of pisses me off. I honestly didn't know this was a thing...it definitely makes me less enthusiastic to see my favorite manga adapated...when it might circle back to the source material.
