Another wonderful cover with fresh faces to indicate that magical time of year when we're all full of JUMP STARTS. In fact, there are three in this issue! And each one of them brings something new and worthwhile to the magazine. And the newest one, Ziga,  brings the intensity! This one is going to raise a few eyebrows, for sure! 

Ziga
story by Rokurou Sano, art by Kentarou Hidano

Many Shonen Jump characters have big dreams, but this character's big dream is a nightmare! A very realistic reoccurring nightmare where a giant monster destroys a city. And it always ends with Ko, the poor dreamer, getting crushed under the rubble. But when Ko meets an unusual man who somehow knows about the monster in his dream, his nightmare takes on a whole new meaning. Get ready for Ziga, one of our darkest JUMP STARTS yet! 

Robot x Laserbeam

One Piece  
by Eiichiro Oda

I've donned my bard costume and traveled the lands singing praises of Oda Sensei many o' time, but I must strum my lute again--because he is on fire with this chapter! This whole arc has been incredible, but the breakneck momentum in this chapter is truly the work of a genius. It's inspirational! 

My Hero Academia

Noah's Notes
by Haruto Ikezawa

Mirai is having a really weird day.

Now he's dragging her along on an expedition to search the ruins of an amusement park from her future! Say what?! His name is Professor Noah and he's determined to find out the cause of our extinction, even if it kills him. And Mirai! 

The Promised Neverland
story by Kaiu Shirai, art by Posuka Demizu

This chapter proves...the kids are all right! Despite being hunted and terrified for years, they're giving back everything they got and a little more to the demons. And these demons are more than a tad surprised. But the fight's not over yet. Far from it! 

Jujutsu Kaisen
by Gege Akutami

This is the final JUMP START chapter of one of the more memorable manga that we've had the pleasure of putting in the issue. I'm not a manga historian, but I don't think there are a lot of manga where the main character eats cut off fingers. Gross, cut off fingers. Beyond the unusual premise, the manga has a lot going for it. Solid art, interesting world, lots of humor and very likable lead. If you liked the manga, tell us in the survey! 

Dr. Stone
