Golem Hearts 11

Carles is confused as to how the enemy golem manipulated Serpent, since he had Padlock on it. The Riddle Golem says it’s actually their skill, God Hand, where they can manipulate any golem they touch. Even the tower is made of the golems from other arcanists who have come to the town.



Lily and Carles are panicking at how strong this opponent is, the golem mocking their despair, but Noah is unaffected, still determined to fight

Serpent is thrown at Noah, stabbing into his gut, though he manages to take the blow, keeping Carles’ golem from being damaged



Carles moves to use Resurrection on Noah, who explains that he doesn’t have to worry about Padlock, since Noah doesn’t have much skill with that Golem Art, so he depends on others to fix him at the moment.

Lily is still processing the fact that Noah’s a golem, Carles saying it doesn’t matter, that they’re friends regardless of what Noah is.

The Riddle Golem demands Noah join him, saying they should be allies against the humans, but Noah refuses, saying he won’t hurt humans, that it isn’t what’s right



As the enemy golem taunts Noah, saying he’s as stupid as a human, he’s attacked from behind by Erebus, Noah pushing Lily and Carles out of the way of the massive attack. The golem is hardly damaged by Erebus’ attack, not only skilled but tough.



Erebus calls the Riddle golem trash for trying to kill humans, the enemy retorting that humans are the ones who make golems that kill in the first place. Erebus says he intends to kill such humans, including his grandfather Methuselah.

But Noah reassures Carles that Erebus just wants a peaceful world and he doesn’t feel like he’d kill people even as he says as much

Nyx clashes with the enemy golem, cutting its arm off before it can use its God Hand ability

The chapter ends as Nyx uses its Clairvoyance ability to see the enemy golem’s core, stabbing at it, seemingly defeating their opponent





Dr. Stone 44

Resuming from the six on the space station realizing the situation, we move to Senkuu, who’s processing that even though his senses aren’t working, he can still think, his brain still functioning

Bykuya, using Senkuu’s thought process, discerns that, extrapolating from a timeline of the earliest point when social media posts stopped, that the burst of light came from South America

Yakov suggests they go to the opposite side of the point of origin, near Japan, Byakuya saying that they have to do it in teams of three regardless, only have 2 escape vessels to test this out on with the first group.



Shamil knocks Byakuya out with a punch to the gut, saying that the three going first shouldn’t have loved ones, Shamil, Lillian and the girl with black pigtails going down.

They don’t turn to stone, but they land upside down, meaning they’ll eventually run out of oxygen and they can’t get out normally

Byakuya and the others think they need to go down and rescue them by boat, but the margin of error is too great to risk it. But Byakuya isn’t fazed and persists.



We see Senkuu still counting and maintaining his calendar for when he’s revived.

Lillian and the others are trying to conserve oxygen, but the diva begins to sing as she sees Byakuya rowing towards them.

Everyone goes to an uninhabited island nearby, only a hermit’s statue there, broken in half. They manage to survive, three years passing as they eke out their existence, Shamil and Conny (pigtail girl) getting married, Byakuya happy for them



Lillian starts to sing in celebration, but runs away crying. She tells Byakuya after he goes to find her that she’s saddened at the thought that everything may just disappear, but Byakuya’s confident that Senkuu will do something. He says they’re not even related by blood, but he’s proud of him like a son nonetheless.

The chapter ends as Byakuya says they need to pass the torch on so when Senkuu is revived, he’ll have allies to bring the world back from petrification







We Can’t Study 48

We see that Asumi and Nariyuki are at the beach, Asumi’s father thinking they need to go there to show that they’re really a couple, since summer’s almost over



They finish up their photo shoot to demonstrate their being a couple, Asumi climbing into the inflatable raft. Her braids come untangled, Yuiga flustered at how attractive she looks. She starts to tease him, suggesting he cares more about her breast size, even though he has the “privilege” of seeing her in a bikini

They’re heading back to shore when a wave knocks Yuiga out of the boat, who can’t swim well, Asumi having to help him back in



But her swimsuit top was knocked off in the process, Yuiga offering her his shirt to cover up. However, since it’s wet, it just makes Asumi more captivating, Yuiga thinking of the physics formula for buoyancy to distract himself.


Asumi asks him if he’s thinking about lewd things again, Yuiga offended that she’d claim such a thing

They notice the beach is starting to get more crowded, but they sight Asumi’s swimsuit top on a rock nearby, so they go to get it.

But some divers pop up nearby, Asumi clinging to Yuiga to hide her potentially exposed chest through the wet t shirt.



They wait it out, Yuiga clinging back to Asumi, who thinks he’s being very assertive, Yuiga saying he just wanted to cover her back (also erotic in a way?)

Besides Asumi’s swimsuit top, they also find another, which is stolen by a dolphin that leaps up and grabs it.

Asumi leaves for her part time job, Yuiga returning the boat. But he realizes when he starts to find a place to change clothes that he didn’t get his shirt back from Asumi.

The chapter ends as he finds Kirisu, the person whose swimsuit top was stolen by the dolphin before.







Black Clover 143

Correction: seems that Licht was referring to William as his one human friend rather than the Wizard King, since William and Licht are separate personalities with their own memories Also, William wasn’t given his grimoire by the Wizard King, he just devotes his grimoire to the Wizard King

Julius thinks to himself that he’d had suspicions about William since their encounter when the Eye of the Midnight Sun first attacked Clover Kingdom, William keeping himself hidden since then, especially with the injury Julius gave him

Licht explains himself further, saying that William’s scar was a curse from his human family, so the elf wasn’t affected. They decided to share their body, William understanding Licht’s anger against humans.

Julius thinks this means Licht intends to use the magic stones for his plot of revenge against those who wronged him. Licht deduces that Julius has the remaining Magic Stones with him, the most reliable place to keep them safe.

The Wizard King is happy that his friend is so kind, but he still says it’s his duty to stop Licht, but Licht thinks he won’t win, unleashing his Swords of Light



Julius utilizes Mana Zone, Chronostasis stopping them in place, saying he can defend even against the fastest magic around.




The Wizard King is able to dodge Licht’s attacks, combining his Mana Zone with acceleration of time to enhance his own movement. He can even see ahead in time ever so slightly, but Licht persists, managing to wound Julius

There’s a limit to how fast Julius can dodge, which led to Licht landing a blow on the Wizard King




But Julius retorts that his magic is able to stockpile time that he’s stolen and he resets time on his wound, healing it. He says that even though his magic steals time, he wants to make a world without discrimination, no stealing from others like has been done in the past (likely humans taking from elves

Licht continues his attack, thinking he’s gotten an advantage, but Julius appears behind him and then shifts again, the chapter ending as he tells the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun that he’s seen his future and he can’t win.







Boku no Hero Academia 169

Everyone’s talking about each others’ hobbies, like Ashido’s break-dancing, Sato’s baking and even Jirou’s musical collection, noted by Kaminari to be fairly comprehensive, like she practices everyday. But Jirou’s embarrassed at Kaminari bringing it up, leaving the classroom a bit irritated.

Eraserhead comes into class, announcing that the school’s having a cultural festival, suddenly more like a normal school.



Kirishima wonders if they should be this excited, but Aizawa says that the Cultural Festival is something that helps with the stress of the Hero Department’s new boarding policy, not to mention it’s recognizing the other departments, including Support and Management.

The festival will be somewhat more contained than before, but Class 1-A still has to pick a program, Iida overseeing the process to decide a theme

There are all kinds of suggestions, from a maid café (as well as something more inappropriate from Mineta, which gets him tied up by Tsuyu again), haunted house, crepe stand, etc. Jirou suggests a play, everyone’s ideas on the board, one for every student.



Momo and Iida start to cut down the ideas, taking out the ones that are just generally bad or unrealistic, combining the food ones

But they’re unable to come to a consensus, Aizawa saying they need to decide by tomorrow or they’ll just have a public lecture, boring and predictable

At the dorm, Iida and the others think they need to make something that helps the other departments, deciding not to do food themed programs, since Lunch Rush is already considered skilled

The other ideas are rejected for one reason or another, but Todoroki supports Ashido’s dancing idea, thinking they could have a place where everyone can cut loose and relax, taking inspiration from the provisional license exam that he, Bakugou, Inasa and Camie participated in.




Mineta brings up that even with Ashido teaching them, they need Jirou’s musical assistance. She’s reluctant to do so, not thinking it’s a Hero based thing, but Kouda and Hagakure note that it makes people smile, Jirou agreeing as the chapter ends.






One Piece 893

Katakuri kicks Luffy away as he screams in pain, wanting to finish him off. He’s angry that Luffy’s losing his focus, continuing to pummel him.

Flampe laughs to herself, happy at her older brother showing his strength.

Luffy is beaten and bloodied, Katakuri saying he was almost impressed with the Rubber Man, but moves to finish him off with Ginchaku Mochi, like Gum Gum Storm




Flampe moves to use a needle gun to shoot Luffy, but his Observation Haki is working well enough to dodge, though he still falls over, the 36th Daughter of the Charlotte Family laughing, excited at the prospect of Katakuri praising her for helping in his fight.

Katakuri notices this, irritated that his sister was making it so Luffy would lose his focus and get hit by his Mochi Thrust from before




To everyone’s shock, he stabs himself with his Mogura spear, saying that Flampe was wrong to interfere in his duel. His face twists to the true appearance, Flampe thinking he can’t be her big brother that she admires.



She spits on him, mocking his appearance, her subordinates taking his picture as he ignores them, even Flampe’s threats that she’ll expose him to everyone on Totland.

Katakuri apologizes, but Luffy says it was his own fault for not noticing the needle and that a fight between pirates isn’t something that needs fair play

The two unleash Conqueror’s Haki, knocking out everyone else, the chapter ending as Katakuri acknowledges Luffy’s strength, the two ready to face off for the conclusion of this fight






Seven Deadly Sins 252

Elizabeth and Bartra reminisce about when Elizabeth climbed a tall tree, Bartra climbing after her and falling. That was the first time her powers activated, but it was also when she realized she might not be related to her father by blood, hiding her right eye with her bangs since then

Bartra hates the fact that she, Meliodas and even Margaret have been caught up in all this, Elizabeth promising to help her sister, embracing Bartra as she asks that they have this familial bond for the last 2 days she has to live



Griamore and Dreyfus catch up, still trying to get a handle around Margaret being possessed by a Goddess and Hendricksen’s odd behavior, chalked up to being a devoted Druid

Dreyfus warns Griamore not to praise the Goddess clan too much, Fraudrin having told him those in the higher ranks can brainwash people. He also says they shouldn’t fully hate the Demon Clan, justified somewhat in their hatred of people slaughtering their kind in the war

Elsewhere, Rueduciel addresses the Holy Knights, welcoming them into Stigma and saying they will be protected by the Four Archangels. Hendrickson asks about where the 4th Archangel is, the other Goddesses irritated that the question was even brought up




But Deathpierce and the other Pleiades step into the meeting, saying they cannot trust the Goddess Clan, especially with Denzel having died by offering his body up to Nerobasta

Rueduciel acknowledges that such sacrifice is something the Goddess Clan can relate to, having lost many of their own in the ancient war. As a final parting gift, they offer a Breath of Blessing upon the Pleiades

The power granted to them and the kindness of Rueduciel changes the Pleiades’ minds, joining in fellowship with the Goddess Clan to avenge their fallen friends

The chapter ends as Rueduciel reveals that the 4th Archangel was Mael, but he has long since died, killed by the Ten Commandments
