Chapter recaps
The Chainsaw Man manga series released Chapter 107 at the beginning of last week. In this exciting chapter, fans had the chance to witness the fight between Yoru and Yuko. The latter used the powers of the Justice Devil to punish anyone she deemed a bad guy, causing chaos in the school.
Yoru tried to stop her but was overpowered due to her powers being diminished. The Devil Hunting club made an appearance, demonstrating their impressive skills. Sadly, they, too, were defeated. In the end, Yoru gave control of the body back to Asa, who devised a plan that immensely frightened Yuko.
Mikey and Takemichi had a serious discussion about the Dark Impulses in Tokyo Revengers Chapter 274. The chapter began by revealing that the curse the original time-leaper put on Shinichiro was the cause of the Dark Impulses. The chapter also explains that Kazutora was afflicted with violent desires, which is why he attacked and killed Shinichiro.
The chapter went on to show Takemichi asking Mikey to stop keeping the Dark Impulses inside. Mikey was scared, as he could seriously harm his friend if he allowed the violent impulses to take control. Takemichi assured Manjiro that he would be okay, so the blonde listened and allowed the Dark Impulses to control his body.
Eida and Dameon arrived at Konoha in the Boruto manga Chapter 74. Once the siblings and Amado exited the train that took them to the village, the young woman flew away. Meanwhile, Boruto and Kawaki were arguing about their mission to live with Eida and Daemon.
Outside the Uzumaki siblings’ new home, Sarada, Mitsuki, and Team 10 were waiting for Eida to arrive. When the android looked at them, everyone fell in love with her except Sarada and Shikadai. As the androids entered their new home, Daemon proceeded to attack Boruto and Kawaki. Once the boys woke up, Shikamaru told them that Amado was ready to reveal his secrets.
After a long wait, One Punch Man Chapter 172 was finally released. The chapter continued immediately after Saitama encountered Black Sperm and Rover. The hero reluctantly agreed to let them live with him for a while. As the hero spoke with the former villains, a Hero Association representative told rich civilians about the luxury apartments they were selling.
The man told potential customers about their top-of-the-line robots that would always keep them safe. Saitama arrived at the new apartment complex and was attacked by the aforementioned robots for being with two monsters. The bald hero quickly destroyed the machines. It was also revealed that Saitama was finally promoted to be an A-Class hero.
The first chapter of the new spinoff series, Sasuke Retsuden, was released out of nowhere, to the delight of fans. The series began with Sasuke heading to a strange land called Redaku. The Uchiha wanted to find a cure for the strange illness afflicting Naruto. Once there, he came across a woman named Lyla and her mother, Kail.
The latter owned an antique shop, where Sasuke found a book that hinted at the cure being in a place called Tatar Observatory. The observatory was being used as a prison, so Sasuke pretended to be a prisoner to enter. The facility director was a man named Zansul, who had control over a weird creature named Meno.
After four years without a new chapter, the Hunter X Hunter manga series began with Chapter 391. The battle for succession between the Heil-Ly and Xi-Yu kept going, with both families fighting against each other for control.
Quorolle and Trevelares headed to speak with Morena Prudo. They believed the woman could advise them on how to take down Hinrigh. Meanwhile, Zakuro and Lynch continued their search for Hisoka.
The war between Heroes and Villains continued with the recent release of My Hero Academia Chapter 370. The chapter begins with a flashback to Spinner’s past, revealing the horrible treatment mutants face in Hero Society. Back in the present, an army of mutant civilians attacked Jaku’s Central Hospital, inspired by their love for Spinner.
The chapter revealed that AFO gave the lizard-like villain many Quirks to aid him in his quest to save Kurogiri. Before Spinner could attack, Shoji made himself known, stopping the man with consecutive punches. The young hero claimed that he would not forgive the rioters if they harmed anyone innocent.
One Piece Chapter 1064 was only released a few hours ago. The Blackbeard and Heart Pirates engaged in an all-out battle to see who was superior. Despite Marshall and his crew's power, Law and his friends proved to be just as strong. As the two pirate crews fought, Akainu received a call alerting him of the ongoing conflict.
Due to Bonney's power, Luffy, Jimbe, Bonney, and Chopper all turn into either older or younger versions of themselves. The woman explained how the World Government forced her father, Kuma, to partake in a cloning experiment. The rest of the Straw Hat crew was taken to the main building of Egghead Island by Lilith. Shaka could be seen making a deal with Monkey D. Dragon.
Final thoughts
This past week was incredibly exciting for manga fans all over the world. The return of Hunter X Hunter made this week worth it for millions of fans who had been waiting for this moment.
