Cover
art by Tite Kubo
What a cool Ichigo! I find this week’s cover to be simple, yet alluring. The right balance of form, shape, and color. And I’m always happy to see Ichigo’s handsome face. Oh, and it's purple! I love purple!

Bleach
by Tite Kubo
The fight goes on in Hueco Mundo! These new Quincies are proving to be quite tough for Ichigo to battle! Is it possible, he’s bitten off more than he can chew?

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
More is revealed about the demented inventor, Caesar Clown, and his strange relationship with Trafalgar Law. Meanwhile, the Straw Hats are scattered about, facing their own problems. There’s a lot going on in this arc!

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
Toriko continues to push his body to the absolute limit in order to obtain the elusive Bubble Fruit. Meanwhile, back at the Chowlin Temple, an incredibly ominous force causes half the temple to disappear! Looks like some new enemies are showing up. After all this training, I’m looking forward to a good scrap!

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
The fight between Kabuto, Sasuke, and Itachi is getting philosophical! Deep thoughts abound as Kabuto's identity issue is examined in-depth! This is one of those fights that I can’t wait to see animated in the Naruto anime!

Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan
by Hiroshi Shiibashi
Is it just me, or does anybody else think the Treasure Ship looks insanely fun! I wanna fly around in that! This chapter’s got more cool yokai battles and incredible art! And that’s all I need!

Zexal
story by Shin Yoshida
art by Naohito Miyoshi
It’s good to see Yu-Gi-Oh! back in SJ even if it’s only for one week. I gotta say, Yuma’s hair is really complicated! The art is really good in this series! The story certainly starts of with a bang, and I really like the world. This has potential!
