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…

One Piece chapter 975 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Heyyy the whole crew’s back together! I expected this to be more of a moment, probably something revealed at the end of a chapter with a colour spread, but maybe Oda’s saving that for when they have Jinbe in tow. The new outfits look…

One Piece chapter 974 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. As expected, we’re back in the present for the final chapter of volume 96! As much as I loved Oden and our time with him, I’ve been starting to feel desperate for my boy Luffy after all these months. The flashback was hurt badly…

One Piece chapter 973 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. As the last chapter said, the story certainly is hurtling toward the present day. That was probably the right choice, pacing-wise, since most of the things that happen here have been discussed at least once already. I see this being the last full chapter…

One Piece chapter 972 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. The colour spread truly does look nice, but it’s the second one in a row that’s promoing some collaboration. I really don’t like the idea of the colour spreads just becoming the One Piece ad space. Interesting that everyone is in their classic Fishman…

One Piece chapter 971 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Alright, we all knew it was coming, but holy shit that was brutal. A lot more graphic than I expected it to be, especially the random mook who fell in early on. One Piece has never necessarily shied from dark scenes, but I feel…

One Piece chapter 970 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Man, looking at some of the replies to this one in the spoiler threads was a trip. Do some people think being a fan of a character is meant to be the same as barracking for a sports team? Because that’s what it feels…
