It’s time for volume 51! We’re properly into the Sabaody arc now, but let’s look at the cover story first before we begin. This cover story follows the CP9 fighters who have to run from the government in fear of being taken down as failures. They make their way to safety and work as entertainers … Continue reading One Piece Volume 51 & Cross Epoch

One Piece Volume 50
Most manga don’t make it to fifty published volumes. I don’t know the statistics, but I’m confident that a lot don’t even make it to ten volumes. That makes it all the more impressive that after reading volume 50 of One Piece, we’re still not even halfway done with everything that’s out. And that’s not … Continue reading One Piece Volume 50
One Piece Volume 49
We’re nearing the end of the year and with that we’re also nearing the end of Thriller Bark. I was originally hoping to finish this story arc in 2023, but it seems like the final fight will be left to next year. I know that the next volume also includes some material outside of the … Continue reading One Piece Volume 49
One Piece Volume 45
With volume 45 we finally finish up on the best arc that shonen manga has to offer. Water 7 and Enies Lobby are over. But we still have a few important things to get through, so let’s have a look at everything that happens in this volume. Let’s start with the crew themselves. They get … Continue reading One Piece Volume 45
One Piece Volume 44
Volume 44 covers a whopping 11 chapters. I’m pretty confident that’s above average and at this point in time Oda’s chapters were still longer than they sometimes tend to be now. Let’s ignore how unhealthy that work ethic was and appreciate what we’re about to read. The conclusion on what is probably Oda’s best arc … Continue reading One Piece Volume 44
One Piece Volume 41 – Peak Fiction
One Piece Volume 41 is the single best manga volume ever written and it’s not even remotely close. This entire Water Seven Saga has been a blast from the very start, but this volume has one of my absolute favorite moments in the entire series as well as the backstory of my favorite character whose … Continue reading One Piece Volume 41 – Peak Fiction
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 (Final)
If you’re still here then congratulations, you’re caught up on the entire story of Bungo Stray Dogs. Well, maybe not the entire story, since there are many novels and spin-offs, but the manga’s main story is done. Better yet, as far as I’m aware some of the things that happened in today’s episode have yet … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 (Final)
One Piece Volume 37
I forgot to upload this yesterday, in my defense, I was tired. With the recent release of the One Piece live action series as well as both the anime and manga being at amazing moments in the story, One Piece is riding a wave of popularity right now that is hard to understate. I watched … Continue reading One Piece Volume 37
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 10
Today we’re talking about the penultimate episode of season 5. Apparently we’re so close to the manga now that this episode covered moments from a manga chapter released this month. I’m not a manga reader (I’ve only read the first volume and two of the light novels), so I don’t know how accurate that is, … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 10
One Piece Volume 35
As I’m writing this it is pouring rain right outside my window. Summer has officially ended here in the Netherlands and I’m feeling two ways about it. Being able to hang out outside in a shirt is very nice, but the feeling of putting the duvet back in the cover and reading manga in the … Continue reading One Piece Volume 35
