He’s bald, he’s bad, and he’s back! It’s been awhile, but SJ’s favorite “super hero” is ready for action! And not a moment too soon! His humorous presence has been sorely missed! The red, white and yellow fellow is here to save the day!

One-Punch Man
story by ONE, art by Yusuke Murata

The villains gathering isn't going well! Seems when you get a bunch of maniacs and ne'er-do-wells together, they tend to want to fight. Luckily for the organizer, he planned ahead and brought some muscle to keep everyone in line. But when a psycho goes off the rails, things get chaotic! 

One Punch

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi

Raku's being bounced around from crush to crush like a pinball! And this time, Marika's putting the squeeze on him! She's finally got him all to herself, but for how long? Especially with a fuming Chitoge spying on their outing! Will Chitoge crash the party, or hide in the shadows like a lovesick peeper?

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

Cavendish has lost his mind! Well, half of his mind to be precise! His evil half has gone on a rampage and is attacking everyone in sight, including Nico Robin! Meanwhile, Gladius is blowing up everything including himself! Looks like it's up to Bartolomeo and his barriers to try and save the day! This is one of those chapters of manga that is so bonkers, if you tried to explain it to someone you'd sound totally crazy. I'd say Oda Sensei has outdone himself in this battle! 

One Piece

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma
story by Yuto Tsukuda, art by Shun Saeki

The judges have tasted Soma's pike, but they didn't have as strong of a reaction to it as the first two contestants! But it's not over yet! He's got one more trick up his sleeve. One that just may put him over the top! Even though I don't cook and have no idea what they're talking about half the time, I still like reading the detailed explanations of the food. Maybe because I'm so food ignorant, it seems more interesting to me. Whatever the case, I do know one thing, I'm always hungry after reading this manga! 

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara

Osamu, Yuma and Chika are ready for the next round of the Rank Wars! So far the team has done well in the combat games, but now they're up against some real pros who not only have more experience, but use their Trion abilities in very inventive ways. Will Osamu's team's lack of experience cost them the match? Or will they surprise everyone like they did in the Neighbor invasion? 

World Trigger

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

The training is over! After juggling bugs and learning the art of making one's cells work in unison, Toriko and crew are finally ready to take on the Monkey King! Will their training be enough, or has it all been in vain?! 

Gakkyu Hotei: School Judgment
story by Nobuaki Enoki, art by Takeshi Obata

Inugami seems to have the case of the kanji cheater all worked out. But proving it wont be so easy! Especially when the evidence is so damning! Despite all that, Inugami makes the case and uses something no judge, baby or not, could ever deny—hard evidence! Find out who the real perpetrator is and why they did it! 

Gakkyu Hotei

Hi-Fi CLUSTER
by Ippei Goto

Kandera fights the Landscape Mole! And the battle reveals a shocking secret about Kandera! One that changes the way everyone thinks about him! What is it? And how did he keep it secret for so long?

Rosario+Vampire
by Akihisa Ikeda

Tsukune is getting used to being the only human in a school full of monsters. It probably helps that Moka, the hottest girl in school, is head over heals in love with him. But there's trouble in paradise! The other students in school are insanely jealous! And not just of Moka, one of the other girls has eyes for Tsukune! Seems a high school of monsters is just as complicated as a regular high school!
