art by Eiichiro Oda

Twenty years. Two decades. One score. No matter how you put it, it has been quite an incredible ride with Eiichiro Oda! And One Piece looks like it could go on for another twenty more...at least! It's almost as if Luffy has the whole manga world in his hands...much like this cover where he's holding the JUMP pirate logo for all of us to see. Thank you Oda Sensei and here's to more epic chapters of One Piece in the future!

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

Now that is how you start out a chapter...with an absolutely stunning color spread! As for the rest of the chapter, it's been heart-wrenching to see Kirishima's struggles when he was younger and how he wants to make amends for his cowardly actions in the past. But honestly speaking, what young kid out there has the nerve to stand up to a criminal, especially a monstrous one! Aside from that, Kirishima has really proved his worth in this incredible battle against the brawler Rappa, who even recognizes and respects his manly spirit!

Robot x Laserbeam
by Tadatoshi Fujimaki
