The summer days are almost done drifting away! That's why a cover with grilled meat makes me a little bit sad. I'm also sad I can't eat this grilled meat, because it would probably make my clothes explode from my body and trigger some kind of meat-based hallucination...which sounds like a lot of fun! Hope you enjoyed your summer and were able to obtain a little "fun in the sun" before it fades into fall. 

Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma
story by Yuto Tsukuda, art by Shun Saeki, Contributor Yuki Morisaki

Get ready for some delicious color art this chapter! There's a two-page spread that is as spicy as the mapo tofu the Chinese Food Society has been cooking up! As for the chapter, Soma is finally making headway against Kuga, but the festival isn't over yet and time (and money!) are on Kuga's side! Looks like Soma may need yet another miracle!

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

Oda Sensei currently holds the world record for most manga ever sold, but I think he may also have the record for the most amount of people he's made cry with his manga. And this chapter is going to add a lot of people to that record. Of course, I won't spoil it, or even describe it, but I will say the tears will be tears of joy! Get your tissues! 

Toriko  
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

While Oda Sensei makes people cry, Shimabukuro Sensei has an amazing talent for one upping himself. Just when you think you've seen the most powerful and awe-inspiring monster, he draws a whole bunch more! This chapter is full of jaw-dropping drawings of beasts so powerful they defy the imagination. In other words, he's outdone himself again!

Bleach 
by Tite Kubo

If you've always wanted to see a giant hand fight a mad scientist, then this is the chapter for you! Last week's battle was already crazy, but this one takes it up a notch! Maybe even several notches! 

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi

Last we checked, Marika was sick and has to go back home. But that's not all, she's going to be married off very soon! And against her will! Will Raku pull a "Raku" and run off to save her from certain unhappiness even though he doesn't want to be with her? Or will he leave well enough alone for once? Find out!

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

The stunning conclusion of the battle against Stain! So far the young heroes have managed to hold their own, but the battle is not over yet! See who comes out on top!

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

The Silver Eagles are here to save the day! And they're packing some serious magic firepower! We've seen some impressive spells so far, but these guys are so amazing some of their attacks take up a whole page! As a JRPG nerd, seeing all these amazing magic attacks drawn in this beautiful art is a real treat. Even if they made a video game out of this series, I don't thing the attacks would look as amazing. It's the magic of great art!

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

This has been a good issue for fights, and One-Punch Man adds another! The reigning terror Garo continues as he finds another hero to pick on. But this one isn't as easy as the rest, as the Garo finds out! This one's got balls! Golden Balls to be exact! It's fights like these that cement my love for Weekly Shonen Jump manga. I truly believe it has some of the best drawn battles ever put to paper!
