Like ninja father, like ninja son! We've got a whole bunch of Naruto-related stuff for you this issue! Aside from our usual monthly chapter of Boruto, we've got a preview of Naruto: Chibi Sasuke's Sharingan Legend, an excerpt from the Naruto: Itachi's Story [Daylight] novel and an exclusive Masashi Kishimoto interview from Jump Festa! 

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

The madcap action continues! Big Mom's captured Brook and things are looking grim, but how do you kill someone that's already dead? And Pedro continues to elude the palace guards, but is having a hard time cracking Baron Tamago due to his eggcellent fighting skills! 

One Piece

The Promised Neverland
story by Kaiu Shirai, art by Posuka Demizu 

The plot in this series has hit fast forward as Sister Krone is suddenly out of the picture and the kids find themselves without a friend, or frenemy, as it were in this case. And Mom seems more in control than ever as larger plots lurking behind the scenes are revealed. This chance of escape is looking increasingly slim! 

Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma
story by Yuto Tsukuda, art by Shun Saeki, contributor Yuki Morisaki

Congratulations, Yuto Tsukuda, Shun Saeki and Yuki Morisaki on your 200th chapter! That's a lot of delicious looking food and clothes flying off! And now that the big contest to decide the fate of Totsuki Institute is on the horizon, these kids and adults need to train as a team if they're going to stand a chance. You'll never guess which team can't stand the heat! Or each other! 

Food Wars

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

Usually, bad guys aren't very nice. They can be really mean or even jerky, as in the case with Ladros. And he's not just a jerk--he's a super powerful jerk. The worst kind! But he's up against his polar opposite in this chapter as he takes on Asta, a really nice guy with no magic power at all! They say nice guys finish last, let's hope it isn't true in this case! 

One-Punch Man
story by ONE, art by Yusuke Murata

The politics of the Heroes Association are quite complex! This is a huge organization made up of many single heroes and groups. And one of the groups vying for power is the Blizzard Bunch headed by the icy Hellish Blizzard. She's got her sights set on recruiting Saitama, but that may not be as easy as she thinks!

One Punch Man

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi 

The kids in Class 1-A just got a taste of the power of Mirio, the top third-year student, and it didn't taste good! Half the class was wiped out in no time at all. But there are still some of the strongest left to contend with, like Midoriya! He's fought on the real battlefield against some opponents that should have wiped the floor with him. Is he gonna show a third year what a first year can do? 

RWBY
manga by Shirow Miwa, based on the Rooster Teeth series created by Monty Oum

The battle with the Grimm continues! And things start to get, well, a bit grim! But team JNPR aren't down and out yet! Despite being a bit outgunned!

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations  
creator/supervisor Masashi Kishimoto, art by Mikio Ikemoto, script by Ukyo Kodachi

This is it! The final showdown with the big villain in Boruto! So far, Boruto's attempt to outshine his dad or even really impress him has been less than successful. But now that the chips are down and all the cards are on the table, this little ninja will get his chance to show everyone what he's made of! What will he do?!
