Boruto and Sarada on the cover! The next generation of Konoha are coming into their own as the manga and anime continue along.

So if you really love Boruto, then you need to follow along with both!

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi
I seriously thought the manga was gonna have a cool down period after that incredible battle, but "BAM, POW, ZAMMO!" it did nothing of the sort! Instead of talking about feelings and reflection, some old familiar villains appear and they're definitely up to no good!

Robot x Laserbeam
by Tadatoshi Fujimaki
It's funny how one new character can add so much energy and warmth to a manga. Dorian Green is the perfect foil to balance Robo-kun's reserved personality.
