Cover
by Hiroshi Shiibashi
Ooooooooohhhh!!! A hauntingly BOOtiful Nura cover for Halloween! Very nice! Looks like Nura’s taken a bit of battle-damage as well. You can’t ask for anything more Halloweenie than this! 

Bleach
by Tite Kubo
Great splash page! I’ve been going on and on about how much I love Genryusai Yamato, and the art on this page really does his character justice. Kubo Sensei’s art continues to impress, even this late in the series. This is a short, but dramatic chapter. And it looks like the series is headed for the final showdown. 

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
With a chapter name like “Hell,” you know you’re in for a dark ride. And dark it is, as Obito witnesses the death of his beloved Rin, and morphs into something even he doesn’t understand. There is some great freaky Kishimoto Sensei art in this chapter too!  

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
Smoker is shocked to find out Vice Admiral Vergo's actually a turncoat! Outraged that Vergo's attacked his troops, Smoker launches an all out attack! Meanwhile, Caesar Clown hatches an evil plan to take care of all of his enemies in one fell swoop! It'll be a gas!

Cross Manage
by Kaito
The 49–0 loss by the Lacrosse Club has their new manager Sakurai doing a little soul searching. Meanwhile, it hasn’t gotten Toyoguchi down one bit! But is her enthusiasm enough to get the rest of the team out of the dumps? 

Takama-ga-hara
by Jyuuzou Kawai
Yamato is getting his butt creamed by the super brawny Boss of Takeru School, Taiju. But Yamato’s not your average fighter, he’s got brains as well as brawn. And he’s starting to figure out there’s something off about Taiju’s style. But will he figure out what it is before he gets his head knocked off?

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
What a crazy chapter of Toriko!!! I mean even for Toriko, this is pretty wild! The battle between the Four Kings and the Four-Beasts monster comes to a Pacman-esque ending! Haha! Say what you want about this series, Shimabukuro Sensei always goes all out!

Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan
by Hiroshi Shiibashi
A glorious color chapter of Nura! Boy, oh boy does color manga look nice! I wish all manga could be in color! But I guess when you’re printing a telephone book-sized manga anthology every week, printing it in color would be just about impossible. And that’s the beauty of digital manga! As for this Nura chapter, there’s plenty intense yokai-on-yokai action!
