Star of the failed off broadway production "Hairy Poppins" and SJ Editor Urian Brown takes a look at this week's issue!
Cover

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!
World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara
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!
Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring
by Masashi Kishimoto
Sarada's finally caught up to her father Sasuke, and it's time to get some answers! Is she Karin's child or Sakura's?

The "mystery" remains!
One Piece

Can they find away to slow the cage? Or will they end up sliced and diced like a tomato in a late night infomercial!
Devilyman

Devil salaryman Madogiwa and his strange new partner Aeru bump into a slick priest who's been fleecing his flock for big bucks! It's up to our "heroes" to expose this holy roller for the charlatan he is! And Madogiwa starts to questions his new child partner. Just what's in it for him to help a failure like Madogiwa? Who is this kid?
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.
Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
Toriko and gang are setting off on a new adventure! They're after the next dish in Acacia's Full-Course Meal, and it's in the most dangerous place yet—The Black Triangle! An inhospitable sea filled with monsters of immense power! New dangers await around every corner! It's a brand-new story arc!
Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi
It's New Years in Nisekoi! And everybody's headed to the shrine to make a wish for the upcoming year! And you'll NEVER guess what all the girls wish for? One hint: it's not a new car.
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.
Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma
story by Yuto Tsukuda, art by Shun Saeki, contributor Yuki Morisaki
The school festival is coming up! And since it's the Totsuki Institute, there's no doubt the food's going to be delicious! And the booths will be ultra-competitive! Soma's planning on having a booth this year, but first it's time to check out the competition...

He's back and balder than ever! And also really quick! So fast, he's giving Sonic the ninja a run for his money in the speed department! It's a battle so fast if you blink you'll miss it! Find out who wins!
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!
