Everyone's all dressed up and headed to the big premiere! What premiere? The third season of the anime, of course! The Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma anime is a hit and has fans all over the world. And it's easy to understand why--all that great looking food but in color and animated! Oh, and the cool story and characters and nudity and... Anyway, congratulations on the third season! 

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

Before we get to the big shokugeki, it's time to go grocery shopping! But this is grocery shopping Food Wars! style, so you know what that means--a warehouse full of delicious food and some antics. Then Soma faces off against a legend in a high-stakes match to determine the future of food in Japan! 

Food Wars

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

Another astonishing chapter in this incredible arc! I thought the last arc was amazing, but Oda Sensei has outdone himself this time. I just about chewed my fingernails off during last week's daring escape. Luckily, I still have some left because the Straw Hats aren't out of danger yet! Batten down the hatches for some stormy seas ahead! 

Promised Neverland
story by Kaiu Shirai, art by Posuka Demizu

Now that the kids have had some time to settle in the bunker, it's time to hit the books. They've got a lot to learn about the world and luckily there's a library full of reference books to peruse. But there's just one problem--these books are old and the information may be outdated. Looks like they've still got some more investigative work to do! 

Promised Neverland

We Never Learn

Yuiga finds out there's much more to the tsundere-esque Asumi than he first thought. She's not a maid just for the money, it's for a real purpose! Yes, she has a semi-tragic backstory! Find out what it is and prepare to like her a whole lot more! 

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

The big magic tournament continues! While Asta won his match, it's now up to his friends to show what they've got. And it's not a fun tournament without a little drama. And in this match, it's a painful case of sibling rivalry involving the loveable Finral. There's no drama like family drama! 

Black Clover

Robot x Laserbeam
by Tadatoshi Fujimaki

Now that the big match (and relaxing bath) are over, Robo-kun gets back to his regular life. But just what is Robo's regular life? He's not exactly your typical Shonen Jump hero. When his buddy Tomoya takes him out for a day on the town, thing's get a little weird! 

Dr. Stone
