FACT: Kishimoto is a sly pooch. I’m so glad you started reading my LJ again, Kishimoto. Things always go so much smoother when you’re trying to placate people usually; not going to talk about the...for One Piece because this series is just that fucking amazing. Every week is like a breath of fresh air, and Oda just knows how to please from beginning to end. Right down to Franky chapter start

These are overdue like a mofo, but I’m doing some catching up for this week’s chapters. Beware that they are omfg!long and One Piece will be added shortly. One Piece was finally added. FACT: Kishimoto...Luffy + genius tactics + Iva + Iva not recognizing Pocket-sized!Luffy + doing his “Death Wink” anyway = satisfied Marie melting into puddle of happy goo. FUCK, I LOVE THIS SERIES . GO, LUFFY, GO

FACT: Kishimoto makes fandom 3928499x more annoying. I will admit that I’m a sucker. I’m SUCH a goddamn sucker. Kishimoto can fuck me over time and time again, but as long as he still gives me ~*amazing...him to go ahead. I just… man. I fucking love this manga. I know this isn’t as coherent or verbose as I normally am, but I can’t think of anything else to add to this perfection. It’s just….wow.

I am a mixture of extreme hate and undying love this week. It is quite the pull-and-push. Despite that, I will soften the blow for you by sandwiching the awful fail this week, in between the awesome. You’re...to hijack a ship and race it to Ace puts us at Marie HQ for the next arc in about two months. Which fits, considering the Chapter Start side-stories are down to 11, lulz. Oda be with you. *blesses*

FACT: Oda leaked this chapter for Luffy’s birthday and me. One Piece on a Monday? Best un-birthday present ever. I read this last night and about had a fangasm when talking to mitzrael ...of Hot Gimmick ; and if I even mention Azusa, I automatically get the standard “STFU HE’S A RAPIST.” No, you shut the fuck up, because he’s not. He just planned it. /random rant of rantingness

FACT: Kishimoto is bored of Nagato too. Fuck you, Nagato. Why so hostile? Because this guy can bite me. I seriously love the idea behind Pain. I really, really do - the fact that he's fucking gorgeous..., NANA and Skip Beat! last week too - and then Shinobi Life , Vampire Knight & Honey Hunt came out on top of all that. What's up, shoujo releases? ... I have a lot to catch up on. >>;

FACT: Kishimoto uses colorspreads to distract me from the fail. It works. It always works. Even when I think his color pages WON’T work on me, because they’re full of Hinata boobs , he throws... WHY DID I WRITE THAT OUT?! ) then I think the probability of Luffy dying grows dramatically. Part of me really doesn’t want to ponder that anymore. One Piece , you torture me with your epicness.

FACT: Kishimoto just deflated. So after two consecutives weeks of pure awesome , I can’t help but get a little expectant, right? I mean, clearly Kishimoto has earned some of my respect back, yeah...and save Ace – I have no doubt about that. But I do have to fear for his…appearance when Iva is done with him. Female!Luffy, while awesome, would be…so different, LOL. Fuck, I love One Piece .

And so the saga continues, one day earlier than usual. I seriously do not understand what’s happening – Kishimoto has begrudgingly garnered my respect and praise again, while Kubo sinks further and further...going to ball my eyes out tomorrow when I’m reading the scanlations. LUFFY~ You know, I’ve been reading a ton of shoujo lately too, but they’re all so angsty, even talking about them wouldn’t help

Fair warning that this is, in general, a very angry post, primarily concerning Kubo, rather than Kishimoto. I’m honestly shocked – the only explanation I can come up with is that they secretly switched...help myself this week and made several heated replies to people, LOL. I should just take that productivity and put it towards actually finishing something. >>; This icon makes me complete though
