Shonen Jump Manga Chapters: Week of June 27


One Piece Chapter 630: Lashing Out
As I said before, One Piece, is kind of boring me lately. And this one did nothing to stop that. This chapter gave me NOTHING. It would take like, a year of worthless chapters before I would give up on One Piece, but if next week doesn't have a cool action scene in it...I will be very peeved.

Okay, what can I remember off the top of my head? None of the Straw Hats were in this chapter. It revolved entirely around the New Fishman Pirates commanders. Dosun was defeated and captured by Fukaboshi some number of chapters ago, and he escaped in this one. I just don't care about the commanders. I just want to see Hodi get his ass kicked.

Some side effect of the Energy Steroid is harming Hodi. I know Oda can do better. Hopefully this will go somewhere.

Toriko Gourmet 147: The Chicken Tiger's Egg
I take back all the criticism I've ever given Toriko for its silly premise. This is one of the best chapters of any manga I have ever read. It has a lovely twist to it that you don't see often in shonen manga, outside of One Piece.

The basic premise of this chapter is that Toriko and Komatsu venture out to purchase 3 square meters of a special bit of land, which is the only place the Chicken Tiger likes to lay its egg. And that's all I'm gonna say.

Everyone should check this one out, seriously...do it.

Naruto Chapter 545: An Immortal Army!!
I actually don't remember anything about this chapter. We learned that Madara is effectively unkillable, I think it has something to do with the First Hokage's cells which
he obtained from Yamato. It also effects the white Zetsu clones making up most of his force.

Nothing in this chapter really stood out to me, but I obviously didn't dislike it. It just didn't make an impression on me.
