Cover
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
I’ll take a Toriko cover anytime! Especially one as cool as this! Who’d a thought I’d someday fall in love with a manga about a guy who uses knife and fork-based attacks! That’s the magic of manga!

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
Wowee! What a color spread! I think this could be the bloodiest color spread ever. Yep, just four super-buff shirtless dudes covered in blood. Nothing unusual about that! And the Four-Beasts monster is looking a little Killer Croc, here. Aside from this monstrously cool spread, this is a good chapter! The fight against the Four-Beasts monster is starting to look a little better for the Four Kings.

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
More details about Obito’s strange alliance with Madara are released. And there’s a bit of humor in this chapter. I like when Kishimoto Sensei puts in some funny stuff when the story gets super dark. It makes reading the manga a lot more fun.

Cross Manage
by Kaito
It looks like new Lacrosse team manager Sakurai has his work cut out for him. The team is already unsure about him, and the fact that he keeps accidentally walking in on them while they’re changing is not helping! 

Bleach
by Tite Kubo
Another week, and it’s another cool chapter with Genryusai Yamamoto busting out some super-insane wonderfully drawn attacks. There’s a two-page spread in this chapter that will take your breath away. I love this art!

Takama-ga-hara
by Jyuuzou Kawai
There’s some real fine fisticuffs in this chapter! It’s no lie, I’m a fan of reading manga about characters beating each other up, and this is right up my alley. I also like the sheer volume of wacky super powers in this series. Looking forward to next week!
