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

When the moon hits your eye like a beef shigureni pizza pie that's a-more-A-level manga art coming your way! Of course, the art in Food Wars! is always amazing, but in this chapter, mangaka Shun Saeki has absolutely outdone himself. Especially some of the facial expressions. And as usual, the chapter is served with a glorious serving of male and female cheesecake. Enjoy!

Robot X Laserbeam
by  Tadatoshi Fujimaki

Time skips aren't that uncommon in manga these days. Dragon Ball, Naruto and One Piece have all had them. But usually, they happen in adventure manga because the mangaka wants to age some of the characters for various reasons. The last place on Earth I expected a time skip was Robot X Laserbeam, yet it happened in the last chapter! Are the characters gonna come back taller and tougher? Will they get new outfits? A giant scar on the chest? Find out what's been going on for three years in Robo-kun's life!

Full Drive
by Genki Ono

Table tennis is one of the fastest and most intense sports. Because of the small size of the table and light ball, it whizzes back and forth at speeds so fast it becomes a blur to the eye. And this manga does an excellent job of capturing the essence of that intensity. But this chapter takes a more human turn as Dan gets to know more of his classmates and the people he'll be playing.

Full Drive

The Promised Neverland

They're smart and crafty, but he's crafty too! What will they see when they venture into the unknown, or more importantly, what will see them?

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

The final blows in the last big battle have been struck and now it's time to find out who won! And deal with the fall out. And as you might guess, some of these characters are a bit dramatic, so prepare for more yelling and freaking out. Then the tournament shifts on to the next fights. More magic match-ups on the way! 

Black Clover

We Never Learn

While the invention of texting has made it easier than ever to communicate, it has also lead to a fair amount of miscommunication. And in this chapter, everybody's texting everybody while Yuiga, as usual, is caught in the middle.
