Shonen Jump for October

One Piece: Fun, fun, fun. The introduction of Sanji the cook to the cast continues. We learn more about Sanji's motives, and there are numerous hilarious moments between Luffy, his crew, Sanji, and the other cooks of the floating restaraunt. The sequence where Luffy is forced to work in the kitchens and proceeds to screw everything up is priceless. We're introduced to a very interesting new villian, Kreig the Pirate Don, who attacks the restaraunt. As always, One Piece is the primary reason I buy Shonen Jump. Pirate fun.

Naruto: Naruto and the other ninja in training are introduced to the next stage of the Journeyman exam: the Forest of Death! After a briefing, the kids are sent off, and it's every team for themselves. This issue is absolutely kick ass, as the action moves fast and furious the second our heroes get into the forest. Again, Naruto is the other reason I'm a Shonen Jumpaholic.

I've only got so much time to write these blogs, so I'll condense the rest. Dragonball Z is, as always, much better than the anime. Shaman King was good this month, with a much more in depth battle between Yoh and Faust than what was featured in the anime. Hiraku no Go is a beautiful book, but I have no idea as to what the hell is going on in it. I skipped Yu Gi Oh.
