I can write about
anything? Anything at all? Oh, Kyle, you’ve made a terrible mistake.
Thursday is many things to many people, but to a select, unfortunate few, it is the day Shonen
Jump manga is scanlated, translated, and dropped via LEGALLY DUBIOUS METHODS
onto the American populace. So here I am, on a Thursday, to discuss with you
not just the chapters from this SJ, but also chapters for the other
manga I’ve been keeping up with. If you have a suggestion for something I
should read, well, keep it to your fucking
self I don’t have all the time in the world. Unless it involves cat ladies.
Japan has ruined me.
One Piece Chapter 876
Dear god, 876 chapters. I’ve been reading this for 12 years and
it’s been running for 21. Somehow they only learned the conditions for
acquiring the titular treasure LAST YEAR. WE ARE… never going to finish this
series before Oda dies, are we?
ANYWAY, this week we start off staring at the most beautiful
thing one can stare at, a giant hole.
 |
| People love this shit |
This hole was made due to Nami’s master (?) plan(???) of
feeding Zeus, Big Mom’s partner(?) cloud(???) power (?????!!!!!??????), way,
way too many thunder eggs. Zeus got full and… well, I think he ejaculated lightning all over the place
because he was so satisfied. I think
that’s what happened there.
You’d think this would put the cannibalistic Yonkou down for
the count (no you wouldn’t, you’ve read manga before!) but NO, she just climbs right out of the hole and starts
running rampant once more in search of her sad, lost wedding cake dessert.

The logical conclusion we’ve been driving toward is finally
reached: the only way to make Big Mom like you is to appease her appetite,
Sanji is one of the best cooks in this universe, so Pudding and Chiffon grab
Sanji and fly off to grab ingredients, leaving Luffy and the others to do their
best at escaping Big Mom.
Speaking of Pudding, we have a NEW WEIRD CHARACTER ALERT
SOUND THE HORN. Pudding is so confused by Sanji’s assessment of her third eye
(that it is beautiful) that she is now half in love with him and half the old
Pudding, who just wants everyone to be tortured and die. Her facial expressions
and dialogue in this chapter are a delight.
Next chapter I expect the crew will run back into the Sunny,
which is currently the site of a battle between Brook/Chopper and
Dogtooth/Mirror-Lady. I thought this arc was winding down when the wedding got
bombed, but it would appear the chaos is only going to build until this lady
gets her fucking cake.

Hunter X Hunter Chapter 369
Dear god has this one become complicated. Hunter X Hunter,
when it is being released on a continual basis (so every other blue moon), is
the best manga running. But they seem to have gone a bit too far on the
intricacy here. There’s a fine line between introducing a bunch of new
characters necessary to the plot (One Piece’s Dressrosa arc, for instance) and
introducing 100 new characters for the sake of having all of them die (THIS
ARC). Wait, no, that line is not fine at all. Those lines aren’t even close. All these goddamned people are
going to die.
The only people to focus on here are the 4th
Prince Tserriednich and his pet… buhhhhhhhhh
 |
| CRIMINY |
This guy is a nen natural, evil as it gets, he has Kurapika’s
clan’s eyeballs, and he has a horse lady whose tongue does… BUUUUUHHHHHHHHH
 |
| DOUBLE CRIMINY |
And let’s be honest, this has to end with Kurapika taking
him on. The wildcard is that Chrollo is on board, depressed, and inevitably
harboring a massive grudge against
Kurapika.
This week Tserriednich’s nen beast east the spy cockroach
Kurapika had been using to gather intel on the other princes, and next week
there’s going to be a slaughter of the highest
order, but do we care? I can’t even keep track of any of the characters in
that room.

| Who the hell are these people? |
Why the fuck do I still read this garbage? This series is awful now. I read all of Naruto, the
whole thing, and I never enjoyed it. Why am I doing this to myself?
