Cover
by Kohei Horikoshi

I was trying to determine the difference between this cover and an American comic book cover. I think I figured it out—the main character's so happy! He has a look of unbridled enthusiasm on his face. Most Marvel and DC comics have very serious or angry main characters on the cover. This cover says this series is fun! Check it out! Although the other three characters behind him are serious, suggesting there are serious goings in in the story as well...which there are. Deep! 

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horkoshi

Deku's in for the fight of his life! He's been under pressure before, but he is seriously outgunned now! And by outgunned, I mean guns as in muscles. Like super-big, super-powered muscles. Looks like he's going to have to dig deeper than ever before and pull out all the stops! What do you do when the power of All Might isn't enough?

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

The Straw Hats are at a loss! What can they to do about their suddenly betrothed crewmate, Sanji? Can they stand up to the might of Big Mom, one of the strongest pirates ever to sail the seas? Meanwhile, Tony Tony Chopper's got his hoofs full trying to herd cats! Well, one big cat in the form of a very injured Cat Viper. Every try to give a cat medicine? 

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara

The Neighbor invasion is confusing the Border brass. Not only are their powers unusual, their attack patterns don't seem to make any sense. Just what are their true intentions? And will the Border agents figure it out in time to defeat them? The battle continues!

Bleach
by Tite Kubo

Ichigo finally gets a chance to give Uryu a piece of his mind! Ever since Uryu's become a turncoat, there's been even more tension between the two. But will Uryu spill the beans and come clean to everyone? Or will he keep his cards close to his chest? A friendship is on the line! What will happen?! 

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

Prepare your peepers for some exquisite battle art. Murata Sensei is cementing his reputation as one of the best artists in the business. And this chapter will only further the legend. The fight between Metal Bat and Garo is amazing. Incredible sense of speed, impact and impeccable clarity. You can't really understand how hard it is to draw a fight until you try. This is some good stuff! 

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

A great many story-related things happen in this chapter! Old friends (and some enemies) are reunited. New and amazing foods are created! But there's still a lot of work to be done! The quest to save the world continues! 

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

Last chapter, it was looking a little grim for our heroes. The fire magic wielding nun was struck down. Gauche was drained of magic. Asta was battle weary. And a mage of unimaginable power was preparing to wipe them all out. Luckily, Captain Yami appeared on the scene! The leader of the Black Bull Knights! Get ready for a magic battle between two heavy hitters! 

Nisekoi

Muhyo and Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation 
by Yoshiyuki Nishi

It's the final chapter of Muhyo and Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation! Hopefully, you got a kick out of Muhyo's magic antics. I have always enjoyed Yoshiyuki Nishi's super creepy art. He's one of the more interesting manga artists in that regard. If you want to continue reading the manga, which I suggest, it only gets spookier from here!
