Cover
art by Kohei Horikoshi

This is one of those covers that says, "It's getting real." Like, real-real. Like really, real-real. Artistically, it's a little different than most of our covers with the dramatic shading and intense closeup of one of the characters. Plus, All Might's face is partially cut off which could imply something negative will happen to him. The dark cover sets the tone for what follows in the manga perfectly. This is the power of art!

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

Deku confronts All Might about his ominous future and the conversation takes a dark turn. Deku's fought many powerful villains, but it's a whole different ball game when you're fighting against a situation you can't punch your way out of. Can he handle it? Plus, a look at some of the other students' progress in the work study program. 

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

Long live Oda Sensei! The king of crazy character designs! I truly believe he is unparalleled when it comes to designing characters. His far-out, funky style is unlike anyone else in the manga industry. And he never seems to run out of ideas! You'd think after 80 volumes he'd start running low on cool character design ideas, but he's not! And this chapter introduces some new ones that will floor you. Not only do they look amazing, they make one helluva entrance. The craziest wedding party of all time is about to begin! 

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

Well, if that One Piece chapter didn't floor you, this chapter of The Promised Neverland will knock you out of your chair and through the wall. This mangaka team is truly talented when it comes to upping the stakes and pulling the old "shockeroo" at the end of chapters, but here they take it to a new level. This chapter will be talked about for a long time! 

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

If you were hoping the comedy antics from the last chapter continue in this one, then you're in luck! This manga has great action, fun characters, incredible art, a fascinating world and tons of exciting battles. All it's missing is...love triangles! If this chapter's any indication, we may be headed in that direction! 

RobotxLaserbeam
by Tadatoshi Fujimaki

Robo-kun is really good at golf! So good, it defies the imagination! But there's just one problem, he has no interest in joining the golf club! Can his friend find a way to make him care? 

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

Soma's drawn the unluckiest food of all for the big shokugeki--Soba! The very thing his opponent is an expert at! Not only an expert, one of the best in the world! He's been able to come up with unorthodox recipes on the fly before and pull out a surprise victory, but the odds are stacked against him this time! 

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V
original concept by Kazuki Takahashi, production support: Studio Dice, story by Shin Yoshida, art by Naohito Miyoshi, duel composition: Masahiro Hikokubo 

It's time to d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-duel...runner? That's right, Duel Runners have made a major comeback in this series and I couldn't be happier! What's cooler than dueling? Dueling on futuristic motorcycles that go crazy fast! Time to burn rubber and special summon like it's going out of style! 

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

Another stunning work of art by the one and only, Yusuke Murata. This may sound like hyperbole, but I'm here to tell you--he is one of the best manga artists that has ever lived. We are witnessing something truly special. This fight is a wonder to behold. Such energy! Such impact! Such perspective! And it's really funny! Not going to ruin the joke, but this is a heckuva chapter. Enjoy!
