Fairy Tail:Spoiler

1) Really bad idea giving Erza and Kagura a reason to team up, unless the Sabertooth mage's power feeds on hatred/rage.

2) Future Lucy probably told the Princess that Acnologia targets either large sources of magic, or large groups of Dragon Slayers and destroys them; which means that since Fairy Tail and Sabertooth are in the same tournament the entire area just turned into a giant "Hit Here and WIn" sign.

3) Juvia is going to star in the next remake of "The Ring".

Bleach: Spoiler

Eh? It seems fairly telegraphed to me that Naruto will end up with Hinata.

It's been fairly telegraphed to me that Hinata's love is still one sided, and Naruto has stayed in love with Sakura for over 600 chapters.

I'm usually not wrong about these things. I knew Ron and Hermione were gonna hook up back in Chamber of Secrets, and spent the next 5-6 years battling the Harry/Hermione fans. The subtext was always there between them.

Now, I have been wrong once, when I incorrectly predicted Tohru/Yuki in Fruits Basket, and it ended up Tohru/Kyo. However, by about two thirds of the way through the series I sensed the direction the mangaka was taking the pairings, and I think she handled the split up of the love triangle very well and I cheerfully admit my initial prediction was wrong.

At this point in the series, weighing the available evidence from manga canon, I'm still leaning toward it ending Naruto/Sakura. The direction may yet change. Part of Sakura's character development has been her deciding that Sasuke was beyond redemption and wanting to kill him before he caused anyone else any more harm, even while still nursing her childhood love for him. Sakura gave up on him at that point, even though Naruto has not yet given up. Sakura has also matured enough to recognize that Naruto isn't the loud brat she hated as a kid. Sai has caught on and confirmed that Naruto still loves Sakura, about midway through the manga. The infamous bench scene in the very beginning of the manga, in which Naruto disguised as Sasuke told Sakura that he thought her forehead was cute, has yet to be revisited or resolved. (To this day, Sakura still thinks that Sasuke once showed her affection, when he never has.)

I suppose I view it differently since I don't watch the anime. I understand they play up the NaruHina aspect a bit more there.

Hah! You know I earned that when I accidentally submitted my novel to an agent who was super excited about it, only to have them reject it when they read it because they thought it was an erotica?

I guess I'm just a shipper at heart.

Just a heads up, no new Shonen Jump chapters until the third week of January.

Fairy Tail: SpoilerMajor *** kicking followed by a plot twist.

SpoilerMine's on Kagura cutting herself.

One Piece: SpoilerThe men/boys reactions to General Frankie wasn't as funny as the women's, and apparently the weather science in One Piece allows you to bend non-Devil Fruit generated lightning.

Also Brook is obviously the best one.

Bleach: SpoilerCould be great with Unohana and Kenpachi, but the entire chapter is starting to read like a retcon on a massive scale. Also d'aww.

Naruto: SpoilerI'm waiting on demon fox infused Rock Lee, personally.

One Piece: SpoilerAlways amusing how confident Usopp and Nami are when dealing with people who are running away.

Soul Eater: SpoilerPoor Chrono. Series dumping ground, that one.

Still would have been more badass.

Either way, she's about to go Super Saiyan.
