Recognize that face? Probably not, it's the star of our newest Jump Start manga: Hi-Fi CLUSTER. The Jump Start manga are a way to show off the latest series that are coming out in Japan. This will give you a taste of different titles that may eventually get a full release in the States. Hope you enjoy it!

HI-Fi CLUSTER
by Ippei Goto
Welcome to the Ability Society. A futuristic world where no one has an advantage from the abilites they were born with, because you can easily download abilites. These downloadable abilites, called "Labels," will give you the skills to do just about anything. From driving a car to making pottery, the sky's the limit. But there's just one problem--they don't work for Heita Jugojo. How can a guy with no abilities survive in a world where everybody's an "expert?" Find out in this offbeat sci-fi story! 

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
Luffy and Doflamingo duke it out for real! Well, technically Luffy and Law and Doflamingo duke it out. And that gross snot guy. Anyway! The fight is not off to a good start for Luffy and Law, as Doflamingo shows them why he's one of the most feared men in all the world!

Judos
by Shinsuke Kondo
Sports reporters Mizuki and Saito may have stumbled upon the Judo story of the century in the form of one incredibly skilled fighter named Hana. He doesn't look like your average Judo tough guy, but he's got moves that can send men twice his size flying. And now they've tracked him to his village. Just what kind of place could produce a fighter that strong? Personally, I've been really enjoying this manga mainly due to the ridiculous nature and non-stop gags. The character designs are hilarious, too. What do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments below! 

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
Kaguya's been defeated. The Fourth Great Ninja War is over. The resurrected have returned to their graves. Now what? Well, there is still some unfinished business to attend to, and I bet you can guess what it's all about. Looks like an old score's about to be settled!  

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara
If you've been waiting to see the "star" of the manga Osamu in action, you're going to like this chapter! It's been awhile since we've seen his moves! He's definitely not the toughest Border Agent, but he is quite crafty!

Toriko 
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
The Air celebration continues! Komatsu pulled off a miracle and prepared the Food King Air correctly! And now the world's feasting on a legendary food like no other! But it's having strange effects on the Four Gourmet King's Gourmet Cells. Is it too powerful for them to eat? Can they control their inner Gourmet Cell Demons?  

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi
Raku's strange date with the Princess of Nonbiiri continues! After scarfing down lots of Japanese foods, it's time to try Japanese sweets at Onodera's sweets shop! But when she starts to see how much Raku and Onodera like each other, the Princess experiences some intense emotions of her own! Looks like Raku's done it again—another girl fell for him!

Bleach
by Tite Kubo
Ever since I laid eyes on Mayuri, I've loved him. The character design is so striking. And he's so twisted! I love mad scientists, and he's as mad as it gets! And over time, he seems to have gotten a bit nicer. Still totally demented, but not quite as mean. And this chapter made me love him even more.  

Rurouni Kenshin: Master of the Flame Part 2
by Nobuhiro Watsuki
All this extra Rurouni Kenshin stuff has been great! How often do you get to read cool side stories of great characters from a beloved classic? Not often! And it's about a villain! Shisho, the best villain (in my opinion) in the whole series! If you didn't already think Shishio was cool, you will after reading this. It will also give you a new perspective on his consort. 

Extras: Nihongo Lesson, Author Comments.
