I actually don't mind reading manga on my phone too much, so I'd consider that option. When I last had some serious interest in getting into One Piece, my only option was reading manga on a laptop which isn't super comfortable. I still like the idea of borrowing physical volumes from the library best, but availability will be hit and miss because they only have a couple copies of each one. The Jump app sounds like the smart way to go.

Read a theory that the post-match pin attempt wasn't concussion related or Ibushi selling exhaustion.... .... it was just that he's such an airhead he thought two belts meant he needed two pins xD

but would you say you're at....One Peace? for real though, I know that hitting 1000 chapters makes this series seem impossible to get into but I really really encourage y'all to give it a go. It's one of the most rewarding story journeys i've ever had the pleasure to experience. checking it out from the library sounds like a great idea! I know you said that's a lot to read on a computer screen, but if you've ever done any reading on a tablet or your phone then another option is the official shonen jump app. You can buy a membership for like $1.99 a month and read the entire backlog. You're limited to like 100 chapters a day or something but uhhhhhhhh shouldn't be a problem lol

Marathoning the rest of this today I think HERE WE GO fire force s2 e19 s2 e20 s2 e21 s2 e22 s2 e23 s2 e24

Was ready to say "fuck wrestling", but then Ibushi tried to pin Naito a second time and I couldn't help but love him again.

I don't think it's just that, the whole "split over 2 days" vibe just makes day 1 feel largely pointless anyway. Speaking of pointless - Tanahashi match felt lowkey "Cena wins lol". Meh. Cmon WK, pick up some steam.

KENTA match was good. The whole event has felt good-not-great so far. But like, wtf was with that Rocky Balboa monologue from the English commentary

KENTA vs Koji is about what's expected of the two at this point in their careers. Probably better for the Japanese audience because Kojima's a bigger star.

I popped in just in time for Dangerous Tekkers vs GoD. I'll have to go back and watch the NEW JAPAN RAMBO and the Hiromu vs ELP later Also I'm super impressed with that tag match because they made a Heel vs Heel match work.
