We're having a Black Clover party in this issue! Asta gets the front cover and inside you'll find three chapters of the manga! Party!!! It's all to get us caught up as fast as we can to simultaneous release with Japan. And thanks these three chapters, we'll get there next week! My favorite part of this cover is the kid in the background who looks less than impressed by Asta's antics. 

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

Man, Oda Sensei's boss fights are so satisfying! The arcs are so long and so built up that when it finally comes to the big fight it feels great to see it finally happen. And this fight is already off to an amazing, and hilarious start! Especially all the stuff with the side characters. I've wanted lots of bad guys to get their butt kicked in One Piece, but few as much as Doflimingo!

My Hero Academia
Kohei Horikoshi

Another great fight in this issue! And one that's been brewing for awhile. The smoldering Todoroki with his incredibly powerful ice-based Quirk against the upbeat Midoriya and his mysterious All Might Quirk. It would seem like Todoroki would have the upper hand, but Midoriya is always full of surprises! Grab some popcorn!

World Trigger
Daisuke Ashihara

The Rank Wars continue! The bridge is out and everyone has rejiggered their strategies. Yuko Kumagai's team has taken the first hit, but she's not going out without a fight! Can she get to Ko before he learns her moves?

Food Wars

It's the last day of the second stagiaire challenge! Shinomiya is having a contest to see which chef can come up with an item to start serving on the menu! And although Soma is new to French cuisine, he's letting him try anyway. What will he make? And will it blow everyone away, or will it be another peanut butter and squid disaster?  

Gakkyu Hotei
story by Nobuaki Enoki, art by Takeshi Obata

What started out as a simple body in the rabbit cage (simple for this manga, anyway) has blossomed into a full on scandal when Tento gets arrested by the Children's Police! Yes, that's right, the Children's Police. And they don't mess around as Tento finds out the hard way! Claiming he's got something to do with a tragic classroom massacre, thev're locked him up and thrown away the key! Can Inugami solve the case of the body in the rabbit cage and clear his friend's name?

Gakkyu

Bleach
by Tite Kubo

Although Aizen's still strapped to a chair, he seems to be kicking butt so far! But can he be trusted? And will the others even work with him? But before that can be settled, a new threat has come knockin'! Tough day to be a Soul Reaper! 

Nisekoi 
by Naoshi Komi

Raku's date with Onodera is going swimmingly! In fact, he's having so much fun it seems like a dream! But dreams can sometimes turn into nightmares. Will his date end on a high note, or will something crazy interrupt it? Well, being Nisekoi, of course something crazy is going to interrupt it, the question is what? And how crazy?

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

Asta's getting to know the oddball members of the Black Bulls Magic Knights! Each of them seems to be a misfit of some kind making it a perfect fit for him—a guy with no magical ability at all. Things are going great until he meets a snobby member with a big chip on her shoulder! But people with chips on their shoulders often have a tragic backstory. Find out what it is!
