Wow, what a beautiful cover! Lose yourself in this gorgeous art and warm fall colors. Orange, red, brown and black--all colors that suggest a changing from summer to the next season. And feel the raw power of this art! The intensity matches the dramatic colors of a mighty tree exploding with color in its full fall splendor. The chapter's pretty cool too!

The battle for the future (or re-future) of mankind is in full swing! Senku's tank and science-based tomfoolery have got Tsukasa's troops on the run so far. But battles are fickle and prone to change at a moment's notice. This fight is far from over!

We Never Learn
by Taishi Tsutsui 

Sekijo's in a pickle! She's invited her crush Ogata to an open campus outing but Ogata invited Yuiga! Three's a crowd! However, Sekijo and Yuiga are so polite they keep making excuses not to go so the other can be with Ogata. BUT they keep making the exact same excuses. You can see the comedic potential here!

I'm From Japan
by Seiji Hayashi

Japan's not your average boy. For one, his name is Japan. Also, he's obsessed with every prefecture and hometown in Japan and will fight anybody over it. And he's spent the first two chapters doing exactly that! But this chapter, it's all about motorcycle racing—for the pride of Shizuoka Prefecture, the prefecture that manufactures more motorcycles than anywhere else in Japan! Whoops! Spoiler!

Soma and his classmates can definitely cook, but mounting a rescue is quite different! Can't cook your way out of a hostage situation...or can you?

Teenage Renaissance! David
by Yushin Kuroki  

There's been a lot of peeing in this manga so far. If you're a fan of the yellow wet stuff, I'm sorry to inform you there is none in this chapter. There is one heck of a misunderstanding that leads the living statue of Michelangelo's David to entertain several pervy fantasies. Hopefully, that will make up for the lack of pee pee. A wee bit, at least.
