Look at these wascally wabbits! This cover makes riding rabbits look really fun! Of course, these are giant rabbits and this is a manga, so it's safe--please do not try to ride a rabbit in real life. Not even a big one! This cover is to celebrate the time-honored tradition of moon viewing. In Japan, instead of seeing a man on the moon like we do here in the States, they see a rabbit making mochi. I'm going to start looking at the moon and trying to see this from now on! 

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

The Straw Hats are running for their lives and running out of time! Big Mom's been in hot pursuit and now they're trapped on their ship and she's closing in! With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide is this the end for our heroes? Who can possibly save them now?! 

One Piece

Dr. Stone
story by Riichiro Inagaki, art by Boichi

Senku's plan to kickstart a Science Society hits a snag when...a new enemy appears! As if he didn't have enough trouble with Tsukasa on his heels, now he's got someone else with murderous intent to worry about. Just who is this new villain and why did he try to kill Gen?

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

The battle with Overhaul continues! Mirio has done an exceptional job considering the odds were stacked against him, but now it's time for Deku to pick up the slack! And the fight is far from over--Overhaul's Quirk of destroying or rebuilding anything at will makes him one of the strongest enemies in the whole manga! More heroic heroics coming up! 

My Hero Academia

Robot x Laserbeam
by Tadatoshi Fujimaki 

The golf match is done and it's time for some public bath antics! One of the sad thing about growing up in the States is most people never got to take baths with a bunch of other people. We usually bathe alone, thus the comedy potential is cut way down. But not in Japan! And not in this chapter! Get ready to laugh and see some major buns! 

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

The war of food continues and in this chapter we get a look at the match-ups in the next shokugeki! I think you'll be surprised by how it all works out, pleasantly surprised that is. Plus, Soma's team shocks everyone with a strategy that's bold, but may backfire! 

Food Wars

We Never Learn
by Taishi Tsutsui

Yuiga takes some time off of tutoring to do some learning on his own at cram school. And that's when he meets a new girl! And she's not nice! Will she fall for the charms of the tutor no girl can resist? Yuiga's ridiculously complicated love life may get even more complicated! 

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

The last time we saw Asta, he was having a home run derby with Magna's fireballs. But he was so occupied, he forgot about all his other enemies! Classic rookie mistake! Will his obsession with besting his best buddy wind up costing him the match? And where's the evil-looking toothy guy?

Black Clover

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

In the last chapter, Emma got out of a very sticky situation using the time-honored tradition of taking down a larger foe by hitting them in the family jewels! Now that that obstacle is out of the way, it's time for the kids to explore their new digs, the underground bunker Minerva lead them to. Hopefully, they'll get a clue that'll lead them to the human world! 

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

Everyone's favorite prisoner faces a monster that we've all seen at anime conventions--a Free Hugs guy! But this free hugger's body is made almost entirely of spikes! How can you fight someone you can't even touch? Talk about a prickly situation!

One Punch Man
