Cover

Does this cover make your eyes pop out of your head? Mine does! It's to promote the chapter of One Piece: Strong World that we're running in this issue, which promotes the movie that's coming out Stateside in November. A whole lotta promoting going on here! Seriously, I love Oda Sensei's monsters. I bet he would have made an incredible children's book illustrator if he didn't go into manga, which thankfully he did! You can see the full color spread the cover comes from inside! 

One Piece: Strong World
by Eiichiro Oda
I mean to tell ya, I've read my share of one-shot chapters to promote a movie, but this one is really something. Not only does it focus on Shiki the Golden Lion, the only person before Luffy to escape the underwater gulag Impel Down, you also get to see a ton of characters from the manga when they were young. And I mean a ton!

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
Wow, Naruto and his father fist bump to combine chakra and make the ultimate father-and-son team-up! And a really cool idea for a T-shirt! I think this is one of my favorite chapters in awhile. There's just something heartwarming about seeing Naruto and the dad he missed out on for most of his life working together. I'm going to have to start wearing goggles like Obito, because I "keep getting dust in my eyes." 

Jaco the Galactic Patrolman
by Akira Toriyama
Much to Omori's chagrin, it looks like Tights is moving onto his island! And she's determined to help Jaco in his plight. But can she be trusted? Plus, a message from Toriyama Sensei himself, where he addresses overseas fans! That's YOU!

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara
Jin's going all out in his attempt to keep the enemy Border agents from stealing Yuma's Black Trigger. But he's outnumbered and backed into a corner. Did he underestimate their combined strength?

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi
Raku's lost his mind! Like, literally! He's got amnesia and doesn't remember any of the numerous girls in his life. Will the girls try and take advantage of his state?

One-Punch Man
story by ONE, art by Yusuke Murata
The super-speedy Sonic continues the fight against the invading Deep-Sea King. And just when it looks like he may have the battle in hand, it starts raining! Much like the real-life Aquaman (he's real, right?), Deep-Sea King's powers increase when it rains! Will Sonic be able to handle it on his own?  

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
The head of the IGO, Ichiryu, is facing off against some of strongest (and strangest) monsters yet! It's such a ferocious battle, Ichiryu unleashes his ultimate attack—chopsticks!

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
Finally, Don Chin Jao tells Luffy why he hates him! His story is long, but definitely has a point—his head! He used to have a sharp pointy head, unlike the flat head he has now. Find out what happened to it, and how it relates to Luffy! 

Dragon Ball
by Akira Toriyama 
Piccolo saves Gohan's life by taking the full brunt of Nappa's attack! And in his final words, he confesses his feelings to Gohan. It's a tender moment!
