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
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 8
Almost unsurprisingly after the hints we got last week, Teruko is definitely still an enemy. After Atsushi comes across an inconsistency in her story, he gets turned into a child by her powers. That’s right, we’re jumping straight into it. The opening plays early this week as well, I hope that’s a sign that there’s … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 8
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 7
It’s Bungo Stray Dogs day. I had my first day of teaching at a new job yesterday and one of my students asked about One Piece (I showed off my bookshelves in some pictures like a proper nerd) and I answered her question of “do you watch One Piece” with “Yes, and I have been … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 7
One Piece – Volume 33
I’m not going to sit here and sugarcoat things. This is definitely my least favorite volume of One Piece up until this point, and probably will be my least favorite volume by the time I’m done with all of them. This volume is straight up bad. The entire volume is dedicated to the Davy Back … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 33
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode
Fukichi starts off strong by assuming Ranpo might be behind the intruder or the seeming intruder he’s dealing with. It doesn’t help that he can’t seem to find her, making him more paranoid about what he saw. A lot of his plan hinges on getting a hold of both Bram and One Order successfully. Meanwhile … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode
