You can practically feel the heat from Genos' energy blast on this cover! That's a real hot-blooded Shonen Jump hero! Assuming he has blood, that is. Could be oil, being a cyborg and all. It even looks like Saitama is impressed! And if you haven't heard, One-Punch Man is getting the anime treatment! That's cause for celebration! 

One-Punch Man

Speed-o'-Sound Sonic has been after Saitama for quite awhile now, and it looks like he's finally got the chance to take him one. There's just one problem—he'll have to get through Genos first! And Genos is no slouch! It's a battle of speed! Find out who wins! 

One Punch

Bleach  
by Tite Kubo

Yhwach makes a shocking declaration to Ichigo that blows everyone's mind! And Ichigo barely has time to digest it when suddenly an old foe appears! One he hasn't seen in a long time! Who could it be?!

Nisekoi  
by Naoshi Komi

Major plot development in this chapter! I'd never dream of spoiling it, but let's just say, things are going to be more complicated than ever! Especially for the completely clueless Raku! Grab a tissue, because this chapter has some major feels! 

Nisekoi

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

Midoriya has managed to do what no one else has—resist the mind control of Shinso! But he doesn't know why. Will having a conversation with All Might explain more about his strange vision? It's on to the next match in the tournament! And Shoto Todoriki's got a lot to prove going into the fight! Will he keep his cool, or lose it and become a hothead?

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

The quest to get Pair continues! Last chapter ended on an incredible cliffhanger where Toriko and crew were about to be eaten by the Monkey King, but he mysteriously stopped. Toriko saw Komatsu, and the Monkey King saw a monkey girl. What does it mean? How does it relate to Pair? Once you read this chapter, you'll find out as these mysteries and others become a-pair-ant!

World Trigger

The next Rank Wars match is on! And it couldn't take place in a more dramatic setting—in the middle of a torrential downpour with teams separated by a raging river with only one bridge! Who will the harsh elements help and who will they hinder? 

Ultra Battle Satellite
by Yusuke Utsumi

It's the last JUMP START chapter of Ultra Battle Satellite! This manga has been a crack up! I'm a fan of fighting manga, but this one seems to have a little more grit than others. And the "cheating" main character is hilarious. Especially when he lets loose, as he does in this chapter! This is a scrappy little title that might be tough enough to survive the harsh world of manga serialization! I'll be rooting for it!

Boys Over Flowers Season 2
by Yoko Kamio

Everyone is still recovering from the shock of the "meat slap." Oto got fed up with Haruto's ridiculous attempt to lord his riches over her and her pals, so she gave him a sock in the face...with meat! But you know a prideful man like Haruto wont stand for that level of public humiliation! Especially at his own house! No doubt he's going to get revenge. But how?! And when?! There's only one more chapter of the Boys Over Flowers Season 2 JUMP START, but you can read it after that for free on VIZManga.com! 

Claymore
by Norihiro Yagi

This has been the bloodiest JUMP BACK we've ever ran! Body parts flying off left and right! And this chapter continues the gore with a massive fight! Look like a Claymore's work is never done. Well at least until the all the bad guys have been dismembered. Fun stuff!
