One Piece chapter 1091 Review
Oh wow, it’s happening! And to be completely honest, until Oda started setting up that Borsalino was going straight to where Luffy is in the last chapter, this rematch wasn’t something I’d really seen coming or expected. Sure, Borsalino was instrumental in the crew’s crushing defeat at Sabaody, but even that was overshadowed in the…

One Piece chapter 1090 Review
Well the breaks are killing me and I’ve officially given up on trying to parse Egghead’s structure with all the cutaways, but the larger conflict here is building up in a satisfying way in this (likely) middle stage of volume 108. Seeing Kuro on the cover is cool! Hopefully the live action has put it…

One Piece chapter 1089 Review
This was a cool way to bring things back to the “main” plot, however we’re quantifying that at this stage of the story. It’s a very recappy chapter, but it uses the time it’s taking to go over everything to set up and subvert the reader’s expectations. I think we all knew we weren’t going…

One Piece chapter 1088 review
This is more the kind of chapter I expected to come back from the break on. Colour spread. Jump cover. A meaty 19 pages. The climax and conclusion to the cutaway sequence and a promise of seeing the Strawhats in the next chapter. What else could you want? While this would make a fantastic finale…

One Piece chapter 1087 review
It is well and truly good to be back! May we never have to go so long between chapters again. There’s nothing particularly special about this return chapter – only 15 pages, no colour spread to save it for the anniversary next week – it really just picks up where the series last left off…

One Piece chapter 1086 review
You know what? This is enough to satisfy me for a month’s hiatus. It’s plenty. No complaints, and I hope Oda’s recovering smoothly from his eye surgery. Beams and everything. We’re three for three of really likable Jump covers lately, and I really enjoy seeing characters other than Luffy share these things. I hope all…

One Piece chapter 1085 review
What a chapter to come back from the break on, this is huge. And we’re not even at the end of volume 107 yet, so what could possibly top this next week? The Void Century and founding of the World Government continue to be teased in drips and drops, more implication than explicit detail, everything…

One Piece chapter 1084 review
That is a powerful Jump cover this week, Luffy is looking damn good. And then on the flip side we have a very fanservice-y colour spread. We say ‘fanservice,’ but really these things seem to be authorservice as much as anything else. Oda draws like he’s just discovered that the t shirt and bikini bottom…

One Piece chapter 1083 review
Well colour me surprised that we’re not just continuing straight on with the scene that ended the last chapter but going into what seems to be a full-fledged, multi-chapter Reverie flashback. This is not guaranteed of course – most flashbacks end mid-chapter with the black panel gutters fading back to white, but there were also…

One Piece chapter 1082 review
I’m on around my third chapter’s worth of saying let’s get back to Egghead already, but Oda keeps giving me things I’m not asking for that manage to greatly entertain me regardless. I’m starting to wonder how much of volume 107 we’re going to spend away from the main plot at this point. If volume…
