I wanna know how people are feeling about One Piece right now. I recently caught up and I'm completely bored? This is easily my least favorite arc in the series so far. I feel like there is so much going on and I don't give a damn about any of it. Even Fisman Island didn't bore me like current One Piece.
Act Age Chapter 1 to Current
Managed to get a chance to finally check this out and it is pretty good. Death Island was pretty fun but Galaxy Train was what really won me over since it's just a heavy hitter of an arc. Though I'm still curious when we will hear about Kuroyami's big film he wants Yonagi to star in.

Great as always, with me particularly feeling it after 918 dropped. To say I have no idea how this particular arc is already your least favorite ever given what it's setting up would be quite the understatement.
Fishman Island top 10
I think I realized the issue with the wano arc, and it has nothing to do with wano itself. We just had the interlude that introduced im and set the ground work for finale shit. To go back to just another arc after that feels really jarring.
*looks at the arc antagonist
It ain't just another arc lol. In fact, this is the most Oda has gone out of his way to hype up an arc, to the point where some fans just wanted to get through WCI asap
It could get way better as it goes but within the last few months I've just been bored reading it.
I think its mostly because we are in the build up phase of the arc
I feel like we're just kinda waiting at this point. Wano is a volcano of an arc, it can all go sideways at any goddamn moment, but right now the arc is spinning it's wheels while Luffy trains up.
So somehow I ended up in the 9th circle of hell aka going down a rabbit hole of super edgy isekai web novels.
Story always starts with the MC being betrayed and swearing revenge, main target of anger is a woman.
MC has a power that everything thinks is useless and hates them for it but its actually broken.
Original party members are part of the betrayers or turn on the MC, the kingdom is always in on it.
MC eventually gets a big tiddy slave(really there's always slavery) woman with animal ears who loves him, and then a loli.
The revenge plot eventually gives way to super generic harem fantasy stuff, and becomes of cycle revenge plot and harem hijinks.
Oh yes and of course there is rape.
If a LN version exists it's a lot more sanitized compared to the WN.(aka Shield Hero)
Don't ask me why I would do this. These authors sure do love using the same setups as each other.
And no I never actually finished any of them so I can't say if the endings are the same, they were absolutely terrible and most are ongoing anyway.
Now I must recover.

If you have to read an Isekai then at least read the pure ones. Like Isekai Omotenashi Gohan.
Hell Warden Higuma
Teenage Renaissance David
Food Wars Shokugeki no Soma
Neolation (already canned)
All of these will be canned (or in soma's case end) within the next month.
Komi-san is bad at communication 1-5
I haven't gotten very far into this series yet but I really like what I've read so far, it's pretty funny.
Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku 1
This a 10/10 so far for that Monster Hunter reference alone.
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun 1
The interactions between Sakura and Nozaki were funny so I'll probably continue reading this.
Go! Go! Madoromi-chan 1
This wa a cute first chapter though I'm pretty curious about why Madoromi has horns. Was she born with them or is she some kind of demon?
Wonder Cat Kyuu Chan 1-15
Good lord this was simply adorable this is an easy 12/10 so far.
Yotsuba to! 1
Was always aware of this series existence but never read it before. Glad I finally did it was funny and cute.
Flying Witch 1
Not a bad first chapter it was cute and made me laugh a bit.
Horimiya 1
Kyoko and Izumi's relationship is cute so far and I'm interested in seeing how it develops.

Reading through Level E (I'll do a big post once I finish it), and it's so funny this ran in Jump. A scattershot of ideas from Togashi, and him just enjoying himself, but very entertaining. Peak Togashi page below lol. (Though apparently, I've read, this has been disproved recently.)
been on autopilot for years. wano is pretty much unfollowable because there are 500 characters and half of them have multiple names that are all extremely long like Rojozurushiko-Amazekojiroko (also known as Ryuugasakigamonodo-Jyomonzugodaruzo of the 27 Ryujagamon). On top of there being too many characters almost all the of the strawhats are pretty much useless to begin with so it just gets more watered down
This is Wano the arc everyone was waiting for. zzzz
hxh is the only good shonen anymore and its only around every year for 10 weeks. its usually reductive to assign a hard split in quality but the timeskip was an IMMEDIATE drop in quality and it wont ever recover. been 8 years. might as well just hope the long term plots pay off well

I ask myself that every chapter.
It's the most un SJ series I have ever seen, it's bizarre how different it is.
In a good way though.
So what did you guys think of Samurai 8? I really liked it, but the art was confusing at points. I'm thinking the official release won't be as bad.
I think he is trying to put a lot of stuff
It was kinda difficult to follow
I'm pretty sure at this point Fujimoto is just trying to see what he can get away with, with Chainsaw Man in Shonen Jump.
And apparently it's whatever he fucking wants to.

I'm starting to think this dude was told by the author of TLRU where all the bodies are buried in the Shonen Jump building to give him the same power he has over the editors lol.
I like the art and I like edgelord shit, and even going past the art and edginess it's a fun story with fun characters
Samurai 8
The start of this was pretty bad, busy art was giving me eden's zero vibe. The manga/Moebius art direction just doesn't translate well into b&w shonen manga. It improves later on but they rushed the main characters transformation in the first chapter lol. Not sure how the rest of the manga will pan out. There was some great art in the last part of the manga for sure but we'll see.

How bad can this chapter of Chainsawman really be? *checks it out* JESUS CHRIST WHAT?!?!?!
I enjoyed it but yeah its messy. It felt way too big an opening to fit in a first chapter. That said, I think the art style looks neat and hey, who doesn't like cyborg samurai's?
I started reading it out of curiosity, and honestly, I kinda can't look away. Yeah the arts really scratchy and at its core its pretty edgy, but outside of that there is just something so weird and extra about it all that I keep tuning in week after week without meaning too. Like I forgot about it even existing until people were freaking out about "the kiss" and something like that happens in chainsawman every few weeks.

I've been reading so much manga lately............... and I have so much to talk about..................... but I don't know where to begin.

I unironically love it. So does all my manga-reading friends. The cast is such a loveable group of losers, and Denji goes against the grain of the typical MC. He doesn't care about being Pirate King or Hokage/Magic Emperor, it's all small achievable goals, which I think most people can relate to.
Plus, the author has a good sense of humor, which doesn't feel forced like certain other series I could name.
Samurai 8
Pretty Meh start, wasn't a fan of the art this chapter but maybe the artist will get better overtime, I don't really like the way the powers look in this series and the the main character isn't interesting in the slightest. It also seems like Kishimoto is taking from One Piece instead of HxH this time, making the series one big adventure trying to find a specific thing, I don't know if this is good or not but we'll have to just wait and see

Chainsaw Man would be a lot more tolerable if it dropped the pervy shit or never had it in the first place.
I'm glad someone recommended it to me because it's a great source of cute and wholesome goodness.
