Boruto and Sarada on the cover! The next generation of Konoha are coming into their own as the manga and anime continue along.

So if you really love Boruto, then you need to follow along with both!

A prestigious group of high-powered mages tasked with taking down the nefarious evil doers known as The Eye of the Midnight Sun. It will not be an easy feat! The next arc of the manga is upon us! 

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

I seriously thought the manga was gonna have a cool down period after that incredible battle, but "BAM, POW, ZAMMO!" it did nothing of the sort! Instead of talking about feelings and reflection, some old familiar villains appear and they're definitely up to no good! 

My Hero Academia

The tournament takes a nasty turn when someone takes a cheap shot! Trickery's one thing in a fight, but if taken too far it just becomes fighting dirty. And that line was crossed. Find out who took the cheapy-cheap shot and how it'll affect the rest of the battle!

Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma

Robot x Laserbeam
by Tadatoshi Fujimaki

It's funny how one new character can add so much energy and warmth to a manga. Dorian Green is the perfect foil to balance Robo-kun's reserved personality. He's big, burly and full of laughter and fun. And he's really good at golf! Are these two headed for friendship? Or something more like...rivalry!
