One Piece chapter 986 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Welp, that’s not where I expected the cover story to go. Pretty funny twist, but I’m stilling waiting on the big plot or lore thing that makes it all worthwhile. Lola and Chiffon’s reunion alone doesn’t feel like enough. The handling of Kanjuro so…

One Piece chapter 985 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Man, this is a strong contender for chapter of the year, and this is the year that started with “Roger’s Adventure,” just going to show much hype there is behind it. I’m gonna put my prediction down that this is the first chapter of…

One Piece chapter 984 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. We’re back again, for what I assume to be the last chapter of volume 97. It makes for a pretty good set of chapters, probably the most consistent Wano volume so far following a long run of setup volumes so dense with worldbuilding and…

One Piece chapter 983 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This was a fun little action chapter, wasn’t it? Pound’s reunion with his daughters and their husbands feels like a good way to cap off the adventure portion of this cover story. Next few should start wrapping it up, hopefully with a last minute…

One Piece chapter 982 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This was a fun chapter. Things are going well for the alliance, if anything, too well. My mental alarm bells that things are about to start going wrong are ringing, but they’ve been doing that for about half of this volume so far, so…

One Piece chapter 981 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Jump cover! Nice looking, but plain. Interesting that the dragon in the parasol has Kaido’s long shape, but more of Orochi’s colours. Probably doesn’t mean anything, but it’s a thing that’s there. The colour spread has a sick palette with all that neon lighting…

One Piece chapter 980 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Can we call the manga officially bi-weekly now? I’m welcome to anything that keeps Oda and his staff safe and healthy, but it really does hurt a bit. One Piece is comfort reading and its constant stream of new content is one of the…

One Piece chapter 979 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Hooray, we’re back! And then off for another week. It hurts, but I’d rather Oda keep himself safe. It seems other manga are going to be more consistent than One Piece. I wonder if it’s because of Oda’s age and previous health scares (I…

One Piece chapter 978 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Oh man, what a chapter! Wano’s had more than a few spectacular environments so far – the flower capital, the ruined Oden castle and Tama’s empty village coming immediately to mind – but Onigashima is the best of the lot. I love the atmosphere.…

One Piece chapter 976 – 977 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. These two chapters were reviewed together because the forum was offline on the week of chapter 976’s release. We’ve missed two whole chapter discussions and the most exciting new event is Jinbe’s return! The crew is (probably) complete and all together at last! I…
