Well CyberPunk Edgerunners was good. Oh the Queen of England died this month.
Summary Time: Chapter 73. A Special Mission. somehow I doubt it or is this assigning the team to by Nail's wingmen to get his together with Hime?
...Geh The cover page is Salad in an awful green colored version of her outfit, she has full lips for some reason, and her hair looks awful. Why is Ikemoto obsessed with drawing hair to look more natural when he can't draw it in a way that looks good?
The story starts of with the team going to the Hokage office. Bolt brags that they are the most brilliant team in the whole village while Cups declares that it will be the start of Neo-team 7...didn't they declare themselves that like 3... going on 4 years ago? And this will be their first mission since they called themselves that? It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much.
Sorry, it also show you how long both Cups and Salad have been uninvolved with the story.
They find Nail and the clone in Naruto's office with Shikamaru. Apparently they haven't let Bolt and Nail meet since Bolt was revived. The clone shows concern for the fact that she knows Nail killed Bolt. Holy Crap. Konohamaru is here. If there is one character less involved in the story than Bolt's teammates its his team's sensei. Shikamaru goes over general information for eight pages. You know most manga would just skip it and have an aside comment telling the reader that the characters have been informed of required information, but not Ikemoto, no, he needs to waste pages on this infodump of things the readers already know, some info even known for years now.
Of course since he is doing this vocally Hime is listening in.
Wait. No sorry, back for more infodump with Shikamaru. Six pages. Shikamaru points out how dangerous Hime is and have no choice but to let her do as she pleases and since she wants Nail might as well let her live with them. and team seven become her friends.
Hime becomes nervous about living together from the start of the relationship.
More explaining. Four pages...Dear God this is the chapter isn't. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much. It drags, this story drags so much.
Hime blushes due to Shikamaru telling of Hime's crush on Nail.
The clone point out she wants to be romanced. Bolt slowly realizes that the missions is to be Nail's and Hime's wingmen and chaperones. 8 more pages of this. They accept the mission.
OH FINALLY SOMETHING kittening ELSE!!! Naruto and Sasuke talk on top of the Hokage tower. This mission exist ot keep Bolt and Nail rushing off to fight Punk. This was Shikamaru idea and Naruto approved of it happening. Nail and Bolt sense something. Sasuke too senses something has a flashback. I'm guessing they are sensing the ten-tails.
26 pages of Shikamaru explaining general information with some back and forth with the kids. Does this manga not have an editor!?
Well this was a pointless chapter except for the last 3 or so pages.
Oh Dragonball Super is on Hiatus.
