It's been awhile since we had a World Trigger cover. And especially one this bright! I love the happy looks on the characters faces. Although they have their weapons out, it seems more likely they're going to lunch, or somewhere fun. Maybe another Rank-Wars match!

The agents at Border have a Neighbor hostage to interrogate! I don't want to spoil it, but let's just say he has a "magnetic" personality. I guess I kind of spoiled it, didn't I? But can they make him talk? Will he sing like a canary, or do his best impersonation of a clam? Find out!

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

The big fight is over, and now it's time for the characters to reflect upon their losses or victories, If you love SJ manga like I do, there's a good chance you enjoy tournaments. And my favorite parts of tournament is seeing how each character deals with how they fared in the fights. It's good old-fashioned character growth, one of the key elements of storytelling.

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

Magic battles! Magic battles! I love magic battles! I wont lie, I've watched the Harry Potter movies lots of times, and my favorite parts, well my favorite non-Hagrid parts, were the cool magic fights. But even those pale in comparison to what we're seeing in this manga, specifically this chapter. I have to say, I'm blown away by Yûki Tabata's art. Drawing regular fights is hard enough, but fights with numerous characters using various magic abilities is really difficult, and Tabata Sensei makes it look easy.

Yu-Gi-Oh!  
by Kazuki Takahashi

This is one of the greatest chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh! of all time! Well, for me personally. It has everything! A maniacal criminal! Drinking! Smoking! A loaded gun pointed at a kid! And sometimes, all in the same panel! I can't imagine this chapter would fly in today's world. But it is fun to look at it from a historical perspective. When I tell people how crazy the old Yu-Gi-Oh! manga was, this is one of the chapters I always describe. Good stuff!
