Boruto is finally taking off! And by that I mean--the story has officially moved into uncharted waters! And this coincides with the anime starting! Everything's coming up Boruto! It's a brand new chapter in the incredible world Masashi Kishimoto created 17 years ago. What new adventures await the son of Naruto?!
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations
creator/supervisor Masashi Kishimoto, art by Mikio Ikemoto, script by Ukyo Kodachi
Although I've enjoyed reading the manga version of the Boruto movie, I have been waiting for the day the story focuses on what happens after that. And the day is finally here! The chapter starts off with a bang, then introduces some brand new characters and sets up the first story arc. Comedy, action, intrigue, looks like this new story arc is off to an interesting start!
The Promised Neverland
story by Kaiu Shirai, art by Posuka Demizu
In the last chapter, Ray set himself on fire to spite Mom! Kids, I don't care how mad you are, never set yourself on fire to spite your Mom! Ever! His plan worked perfectly and the entire orphanage is in chaos! But Mom's a pro and she's not giving up on delivering her "merchandise" so easily! Will she be able to give the demons what they want?
One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
Bege and his motley crew of party crashers have arrived at the wildest Wedding/Tea Party EVER! It's time to make last minute preparations before they try and pull off the assassination of the century. But first...Bege has to wake up some of his allies who are sleeping on the job! You'll never guess who! I will say this, you're in for some eye-popping spreads in this chapter. Oda Sensei has outdone himself again!
My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi
We've seen what the heroes have been up to lately, but what about the villains? This chapter finally answers that! The brief encounters between the League of Villains and the Yakuza have been tense in the last few chapters, but this one will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Can these two evil factions learn to get along long enough to pull off their diabolical plan? For that matter, what is their diabolical plan?
RobotxLaserbeam
by Tadatoshi Fujimaki
Robo hits the links! He's been killing it at the driving range, but when it's on the grass or in the rough it's a whole different ball game! Can his laser-like golfing ability compute the numerous variables on the green?
Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata
The festival takes a decidedly un-festive turn when a noble gets grabby with a very powerful female mage! Not cool! Then after that, it's time for...a drinking contest! More antics coming your way!
Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma
story by Yuto Tsukuda, art by Shun Saeki, contributor Yuki Morisaki
The big shokugeki continues! But the action switches gears from Soma making soba to...Isshiki making Italian cuisine! Does he have the pasta power to go up against a real renowned Italian cook? This guy's no Chef Boyardee! Who will win? But the bigger question is--will Isshiki keep his apron on?!
One-Punch Man
story by ONE, art by Yusuke Murata
It's the stunning conclusion to the big martial arts tournament a.k.a. the Superfight! Saitama's wig has flown off and he's gotten Suiryu excited by being able to block and avoid his blows. But Suiryu's been hiding his true power level too and now he's about to unleash it for real! The question has been asked many times...has Saitama finally found someone "fun" to fight?
