I am so tired I may fall back asleep while writing this. But I must deliver my review. FOR THE FANS.

Fairy Tail
BORING. Thats honestly all I have to say about this chapter. It was a kind of cool fight but there was zero plot to it. Its just Gray and Natsu fighting Mard. The end would be more shocking if we didn't already know that Natsu and Gray would be fine because this is a shonen manga and they will never die. Mashima is just delivering shit chapter after shit chapter lately. He has to know all anyone wants to see is Lumen Histoire, but he is refusing to show it now. I just don't care about FT now.

Nantsu no Taizai
Dafuq, Ban is the fairy king? Ok, I'm interested again. Finally the plot is moving again. Its adorable how Jericho has a crush on Ban now. This little team of theirs is the oddest combination of members you could imagine. But back to the end, I like what was done here. King is a traitor as he let the forest be destroyed and Ban is now the Fairy King because of his relationship with Elaine. Interesting. I look forward to what comes next.

Bleach
Ichibee's powers are interesting. While he can't attack directly, he can change the names of things, changing their purpose. If there is one thing Kubo is good at, its creating odd yet interesting powers. Ichibee vs Yhwach is interesting to see but I suppose my problem with it is I would like to see the fight be a little more even as we know eventually Ichibee will be defeated as its Bleach and the big bad of the arc can't be defeated by anyone other than Ichigo. Also, the Visored are back. Kubo has also finally answered the long standing question of what happened to the Shihoin clan after Yoruichi went into exile. I saw a lot of people complaining that the sister came out of nowhere or that her intro was too sudden, but really, its a mystery that needed to be solved. It seems Bleach is finally getting good again which makes me happy.

One Piece
I almost forgot One Piece again. Reli would not have been happy. The reason I am forgetting it is because the chapters are forgettable. Here is the problem Oda has. He loves all of his characters too much. Its great that he loves them, but the way he shows he loves them is by dedicating half a page every single chapter to every single character. There can't be any plot development if the entire chapter is taken up by these 1 second flashes of every character. Oda needs to focus on whats important rather than reminding us every chapter what every character is doing. Bad chapter.

Toriko
I had a feeling that pair might be the Monkey King's balls. Ever since they were shown last chapter, I had a terrible feeling that was what pair would be and I was right, unfortunately. I absolutely loved what was done with 100 G mountain. Its not a mountain made of stone but of the flesh and bone of all the animals that have been killed by the intense gravity there. It just shows how tough the situation is there. And then to top it off, Toriko gets off the train and there stands Bambina. Next chapter should be epic.

Magi
This chapter just reaffirms what I have been thinking for a while. I don't think Gyouken is dead. She is far too powerful for even an army to beat. She has made Judar fairly worthless and Hakuryuu doesn't seem to stand much of a chance. I think she is doing something similar to Hakuryuu and making people believe she is dead when she isn't. That would leave Hakuryuu or Sinbad as the final enemy of Magi and while it could be Sinbad, Hakuryuu as the ultimate villain doesn't feel right. So we shall see what comes.

For those who aren't reading this series yet, I recommend it. Its starting to get good and it releases a few times a week as of now. So Bakugou's powers come from his sweat. Pretty interesting. I just wish Midoriya could, in the heat of battle, control his powers even just a little so that he didn't destroy his body in the process. Even if he just ended up with a lot of bruises rather than a bunch of broken bones, it would be nice, but I suppose that will come after his training with All Might. Still a pretty good chapter but predictable Midoriya would win.

Ok most of this chapter was meh, whatever. But the end really interested me. Finally, we have villains coming in to play. I don't think anyone isn't thinking Bakugou is going to become a villain, so now we finally have a force that may lure him in. On one hand I don't want to see another Sasuke/Hakuryuu type, but the character has been written to be that since the first chapter, so its going to happen. Other than that, I think Midoriya speaking to him and telling him his quirk is borrowed is only pushing him further down that road. The 12th chapter is out now but I don't have the time to read it right now.

So thats all for this week. As always, comments are always welcome, so comment away.
